ITV2 Love Island fans convinced Connor looks like Liverpool FC player

It was a big night on Love Island as twins Jess and Eve revealed who they wanted to couple up with.

But viewers were more than distracted by a contestant who bears a striking resemblance to a Liverpool FC player.

Fans of the show are convinced that Connor is the double of Roberto Firmino .

But unlike his Brazilian counterpart, Connor is a 25-year-old coffee bean salesman from Brighton.

Yet that didn't stop fans talking on Twitter.

Leon tweeted: "Just turned on love island to see what fuss is about and all I can say is, why has Roberto Firmino gone from scoring the winner at Tottenham at weekend to be on this?"

Stacko tweeted: "Jurgen Klopp won’t be happy when he finds out the real reason Firmino hasn’t been showing up to training."

Another wrote: "Is it just me or does Connor remind you of #Firmino."

Carl said: "Just noticed Firmino on #LoveIsland #ournumber9."

Rhi tweeted: "I honestly can’t see anyone else other than Roberto Firmino when I look at Connor."

Guy said: "Connor on #LoveIsland looks like #Firmino at Liverpool, even his teeth are the same."

Hazza wrote: "Firmino bags a goal against spurs then flew to South Africa for Love Island. The guy can do anything."

And Cam said: "Anyone wondering why Bobby Firmino has gone into the love island villa disguised as a bloke called Connor?"
