Some Love Island fans think new contestant Tanyel Revan is the long-lost sister of last year’s winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu, after pointing out their close resemblance following Monday night’s show.

Revan, 26, made a stunning entrance on launch episode of the new winter series, and set a few of the boys’ pulses racing, as Cülcüloglu, 28, did during her time in the villa.

The Turkish beauty had viewers taken aback with her looks, as she flaunted her honey-highlighted hair and enviable figure in a green bikini on the show.

It didn’t take long for fans to share their theory that Revan is related to lookalike Cülcüloglu as they gave their reactions on Twitter.

One person wrote: “Tanyel is Ekin-Su’s long lost sister IM TELLING YOU!! #LoveIsland”.

Another questioned: “Is Tanyel ekin-su’s long lost sister?? #LoveIsland.”

A third said: “Tanyel is literally Ekin-Su’s twin #LoveIsland”, while someone else tweeted: “Love island really said let’s Copy and Paste Ekin-Su for Tanyel #loveisland”.

“Tanyel was copied and pasted from Ekin-su #LoveIsland”, a fifth said, as another added: “Tanyel is literally an Ekin-Su clone bro #LoveIsland”.

Hairstylist Reven, 26, is Turkish and hails from North London like Cülcüloglu (ITV)

Prior to entering Love Island, Revan revealed that she underwent a full cosmetic makeover, costing around “£4,500”, which included having a series of fillers and semi-permanent make-up applied to her lips and eyebrows.

The hairstylist from North London said ahead the new series’ start: "So luckily, my best friends are all like in aesthetics, beauty and hair. So I’m sorted, I’m quite lucky with that. I had like my Botox, my fillers, everything topped up."

Revan added: "My hair done, what else did I get done? Semi-permanent makeup, my lips, my eyebrows - ombre brow. Other than that, everything else wasn’t really planned."

The gorgeous Islander shared that she is “hard to get” and is hoping to find her own lookalike in the villa, in the form of her celebrity crush Channing Tatum.

"I don’t like pretty boys, they give me the ‘ick’ because they always have a crap personality,” Revan said.

"Channing Tatum is handsome but not too pretty. He’s manly and he can dance. If a man can dance, I’m in love with him straight away."

Catch the new contestants on Love Island as it continues tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.
