How old is Finley on Love Island? Viewers shocked by new boy's age

On Thursday night we'll see Love Island new boys Finley Tapp and Connagh Howard go into the villa and viewers sre already in shovk at how young Finley is!

The lads' entrance was teased at the end of Wednesday night's episode when Paige received a text about their imminent arrival, which caused Connor to argue with Sophie.

Recruitment consultant is from Milton Keynes is also a semi-pro footballer for Oxford City.

On what will make him the perfect Islander he says "I’m a relationship kinda guy so I’m looking for a partner to come out of the villa with. I know I’ll make friends with the blokes in there too so I should be a good contender."

While we're not suggesting he looks ancient or anything, Love Island fans will be shocked to learn that he is only 20 - the exact same age as Tommy Fury from last summer's series of the hit ITV show.

And just like Tommy did, Finley has already sparked quite a reaction online.

Someone tweeted "Oh hi new boy... Finley is definitely my type on paper," and reacting to a picture, another wrote "Looking forward to seeing newcomer finley enter on the villa 2moro as he is hot."

And, on the subject of his age, a rather unkind viewer tweeted "Finley looks like 40," and, in agreement, another said "I cannot accept new boy Finley is 20," and a third posted "How is Finley ONLY 20? He looked at least 28!"
