Love Island star Jessie's incredible hair transformation as fans compare her to TOWIE star

Love Island star Jessie Wynter looks quite a bit different to when she first appeared as an Islander four years ago.

The reality TV star, now 26, rose to fame as an islander on the second season of Love Island Australia, which aired back in 2019. She reached the final of the competition.

She's had a bit of a makeover since her time on the international version of the popular ITV2 show, including deciding to undergo a hair transformation last year.

The islander had been blonde on the show in 2019 and continued to sport that hair colour for a few years, before deciding to grow it out and embrace her brunette locks.

Jessie revealed in a TikTok video last year that she hadn't dyed her hair blonde for some months, with her showcasing that she only had blonde ends as a result of such.

She told fans she wasn't sure whether to embrace being brunette or to go back to blonde. She opted for the former, later saying: "Cya later blonde. Hair transformation using hair extensions".

And a few months later in October last year, she teased the potential to go blonde again, though she's yet to do so. She said: "Still adjusting to the brunette life, idk if it will last".

Some viewers have commented on her new look, with one person tweeting recently: "Wait Jessie looks so different". Others have noted her hair transformation specifically.

One wrote: "Oooohhh goodness Jessie used to be blonde and now she's a brunette". She had attracted compliments over having gone brunette from fans last year!

Another viewer shared a gif of Alesha Dixon, 44, saying "who's that?" and wrote alongside it recently: "Wait, why is Jessie not blonde anymore??? Im so confused like…"

Jessie has also been compared to other celebrities since making her debut on the UK edition of Love Island. Viewers have been sharing their comparisons on social media.

She has frequently been compared to TOWIE alum Sam Faiers, 32, with one fan writing: "Anyone else think Jessie looks exactly like [Sam] or is it just me? Can't unsee it".

Another wrote: "Still can't get over how much Jessie looks like [Sam]." They weren't alone, with another person commenting: "Jessie looks so much like [Sam] to me".

She's also been compared to model Bella Hadid, 26. One person said: "Is it just me or does Jessie look a bit like [Bella]?" Another said: "[She's] so gorgeous she looks a lil bit like [Bella]".

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 and ITVX from 9pm.
