Love Island fans notice 'twin' islanders and 'can't unsee it'

Love Island fans say they're struggling to tell the difference between two contestants on this year's series of the popular dating show.

Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, 19, is currently coupled up with Luca Bish, a 23-year-old fishmonger from Brighton. But Gemma was shaken when her ex, Jacques O'Neill, entered the villa last week.

Fans of the show were left cringing on Tuesday night as Gemma accidentally called Luca the wrong name - Jacques.

While it can be awkward meeting a partner's ex, Luca and Jacques have actually hit it off, and it seems they have a lot in common. Viewers were left giggling last week when Luca and Jacques appeared to be wearing identical outfits.

During Saturday's "unseen bits" show, more likenesses came to light. Jacques and Luca both said they were 23 and have recently had their birthdays.

Shaking Luca's hand, Jacques said: "You're a Taurus [like me], no wonder we're both p****s". Love Island narrator Iain Stirling said: "Height, age, star signs... and Gemma says she doesn't have a type".

Fans also noticed the similarities, and quickly took to Twitter to share their thoughts. Petra Hitchens said: "Gemma really said copy and paste, because Luca and Jacques are the same person"

Charlotte said: "I genuinely struggle to tell the difference between Luca and Jacques", while Lorna B said: "Someone said Luca and Jacques are basically the same person and now I can't unsee it".

Hayley Davies said: "How are people not seeing Luca and jacs are the same person?" [sic], while Lillia said: "Luca and Jacques are twins".

Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and the ITV Hub
