Love Island viewers all say Paige Thorne looks just like a Welsh celebrity

Love Island kicked off on Monday, June 6 and already fans of the show think Welsh contestant Paige Thorne looks like a Welsh celebrity. Paige is from Swansea and has entered the Love Island villa to find love after she admitted she cannot find anyone in her home town.

Instantly many viewers believed Paige looked like a famous Welsh pop star, Lisa Scott-Lee from thepop group Steps. Many fans took to Twitter to point out the similarities, as the Manchester Evening News reports.

One said: "Anyone else getting Lisa Scott-Lee from Steps kinda vibes from Paige?" Another added: "Paige is just a younger Lisa from Steps."

A further Tweet continued: "Lisa Scott Lee calling herself Paige now." and "Paige is Lisa Scott Lee’s DOUBLE."

Other Tweets included: "Paige is Lisa Scott-Lee, no?" and "Paige is giving Lisa Scott-Lee."

In the first episode of the show, Paige was paired with Italian fishmonger Luca Bish by the public. Saying she wanted to broaden her horizons on the show, Paige did not seem ecstatic to be paired with Luca.

When new boy Davide entered the villa her head quickly began to turn, as many of the girls became interested in the "Italian stallion." Paige also admitted she had been engaged before as she didn't know how to say no as she listed the qualities she wanted in a man.

She said: "Facial hair is a requirement. It's not a want it's a need... in Swansea there is just no one I can find. I’ve tried and there’s just nobody there anymore."

"I need to break out and broaden my horizons and Love Island just brings everyone together for me. I haven't got to go out and I haven’t got to swipe. So, hopefully they can just come to me now!"
