Love Island viewers make same joke as 'new version' of previous star enters the villa

Love Island viewers have all been making the same comparison between a current contestant on the show and a past islander.

Fans were taking to Twitter this evening to joke that Gemma Owen 2.0 had entered this season of Love Island.

The dating show returned to Virgin Media for the winter series with a whole new host of singletons.

The most recent arrival, bombshell Samie Elishi, surprised the boys with a text ahead of her entrance into the villa during Sunday night's episode.

Monday’s show caught up with the new additions, and it seemed she had already begun to turn some heads.

Speaking to Lana, Ron said: "She’s a good-looking girl and on the outside, she is my type but I don't know the girl and I didn’t go for my type in the first place here, did I?

“I think I’ve learned from my mistake, depending on how she is, obviously on paper she’s my type but how many times has that ever worked?”

While the Islanders were getting to know their latest arrival, so were the fans at home, and many people were making the same comparison.

They pointed out that the newcomer had similarities to previous Love Island stars - mainly Gemma Owen.

On Twitter, one person said: "Samie, just a little bit, reminds me of Gemma from last summer. They have similar looks. #LoveIsland".

A second wrote: "Samie looks like the lovechild of Gemma and Paige #loveisland".

Another viewer said: "Samie reminds me of Gemma Owen. Just a little bit. #LoveIsland,” while a fourth added: "Samie looks like Gemma Owen 2.0 #loveisland".
