Love Island's Jazmine Nichol branded a 'clone' of former contestant as she enters villa

Newcastle's Jazmin Nichol has been branded a 'clone' of a former Love Island contestant after she made her Love Island debut on Sunday night.

ITV viewers got a fleeting glimpse of the club manager and model at the end of Friday's episode, when the ladies from the main Love Island villa were sent on a 'girls night out' only to end up in Casa Amor, where they were quickly joined by six new boys, including singer Ronan Keating's son Jack.

After 24 hours of speculation, the identities of the new girls heading into the main villa to enjoy the lads left behind were finally revealed on Saturday night and among the bombshells is Jazmine, 21, who has worked in city centre night spot Chinawhite, as well as modelling for Pink Boutique and Abbie Holborn from Geordie Shore's clothing brand Festigirl.

Asked what she'd bring to the show, Jazmine said: "A lot of drama but a lot of humour as well. I’m a very funny girl. I get called Donkey from Shrek, that’s my nickname, as that’s my humour. Always coming out with my little one liners."

Love Island viewers are known for being very forthcoming with their opinions on social media and, while Jazmine got a largely positive reaction online, she drew plenty of comparisons to an ex Islanders, Lucinda Stratford, who appeared on the show just last year. Lucinda had her own connection to the North East, after getting close to Brad McClelland from Amble. The two went on a date in the seaside town after he opted to leave the villa so she could stay, but their romance quickly fizzled out.

Making the comparison on Twitter, one Love Island viewer posted: "Jazmine is Lucinda’s clone," with another, in firm agreement, reacting: "jazmine...looks exactly like lucinda but brunette...like the resemblance is so crazy, does no one else see it?"

Among the many other similar tweets was one which read: "JAZMINE LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE LUCINDA," with a fourth fan commenting: "why does jazmine remind me of lucinda."
