A Love Island contestant landed in the hospital after being bitten by his girlfriend’s dog. The 28-year-old personal trainer, known for his appearance on the ITV2 dating show in 2023, shared a graphic photo of his lip injury on Instagram. The injury required six stitches and a tetanus shot.
In a video posted on Instagram, Zach Noble and his girlfriend, 24-year-old internet personality Ava Hirons, were shown at the hospital. Zach humorously mentioned dealing with his girlfriend’s ADHD and the dog bite, jokingly blaming her for his misfortunes.
Ava, whose relationship with Zach was confirmed in October 2025 during a London outing, reacted with surprise to Zach’s comments. She playfully kissed him, sang to him, and captured moments of the hospital visit, including shots of Zach with his lip wound and receiving medical attention.
Zach jokingly referred to the incident as “What a dog,” while Ava joined in the banter, suggesting he should leave her for causing the mishap. Fans of Zach, who followed his journey on Love Island with Molly Marsh, expressed concern over the incident, hoping it was not a recurring issue with the dog.
Zach and Molly, his former Love Island partner, had a tumultuous relationship that ended in July 2025, leading to Zach’s subsequent relationship with Ava. Molly, who confirmed their breakup on social media, emphasized they parted amicably after two years together.
Following their split, Zach and Molly remained on good terms, cherishing the time they spent together. While Molly left Love Island early in 2023, she later returned to the show, rekindling her romance with Zach and eventually reaching the final where they finished fourth.
Zach’s new relationship with Ava, the daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, has been publicized, with the couple sharing affectionate posts on social media. Sources close to them suggest a blossoming romance, emphasizing that Zach is taking things slow after his recent breakup.
As Zach and Ava continue to share their love story online, their followers support the new couple, following their journey post-Love Island.
