Love Island's Dale is 'Scottish Conor McGregor' according to fans

Love Island's Dale is the Scottish version of Conor McGregor according to fans who have drawn comparisons to the two men.

Tattooed barber Dale Mehmet, from Glasgow, describes himself as a huge geek saying: "I love sci-fi movies, I love gaming, I love watching anime."

Although he's not an MMA fighter, the 24-year-old likes to keep fit and sports an anime sleeve and other tattoos on his body - just like Mr McGregor.

Dale, whose dad is half Turkish, also appears to have similar eyes to Conor, which some of his admirers have noticed.

Fans also claim his mouth and teeth are similar to the Irish star.

The latest episode of the dating reality show has seen Chloe snog Dale over a challenge in Casa Amor as she admitted she fancied him.

Fans couldn't get over the similarities Dale had to Conor after the last episode aired.

One person remarked: "Has anyone ever seen Dale and Conor McGregor in the same room together?

Another noticed: "Why does #Dale think he’s @TheNotoriousMMA. There’s only one @TheNotoriousMMA #LoveIslandUK

Others joked: "Dale looks like a wish version of @TheNotoriousMMA @LoveIsland."

"Scottish Two Chainz looks like Conor, yeh?"

And someone suggested: "If Dale shaved his hair off he's spitting image of Connor McGregor."
