Love Island viewers swoon over Jake Cornish's hunky lookalike brother

Love Island fans have been left swooning after discovering Jake Cornish has a hunky lookalike brother.

The star's Instagram account is currently run by his cousin and best friend Amy Higgins - and she took to his Stories to tell fans to ask the Islander some questions.

One user asked the contestant - who is currently coupled up with Liberty Poole - if he has any siblings.

"One brother and one sister," the caption read.

It was written over a picture of Jake posing for the camera with his brother.

Jake rocked white jeans and a buttoned-down shirt while holding onto a bottle of Peroni beer.

His brother, who goes by the handle @rcornish11, shared the same picture onto his Instagram page right before Jake entered the villa.

"Still surreal that I’m going to be watching my big brother on tv. Good luck mate, we’re all routing for you. X" he wrote.

White jeans had become a running joke in the villa after Sharon Gaffka revealed the denim trousers were a huge turn-off.

Her admission had spread fear among the boys in the villa, with Chuggs Wallis - who was booted - revealing they all have a secret pair stashed away, which they are now too afraid to wear.

One fan couldn't resist commenting on Jake's post with his brother with: "White jeans" along with a laughing emoji.

His family have been excited to watch the water engineer on the ITV2 series, but his mum recently admitted she had to look away from the TV during some moment s.

Rachel Cornish and her husband Mark had been glued to the box as they watched their son hook up with Liberty.

But Rachel had to leave the room when the couple enjoyed some dirty dancing together.

His dad said: “When he was doing a challenge and gyrating with Liberty, Rachel turned her back to that one, which was quite funny.”

"You’ve just got to take it all with a pinch of salt I think. It’s entertaining."

His mum, 51, found a lot of it to be too cringy for her.

However, their bedroom and challenge antics didn't change the fact that his family would welcome Liberty home with open arms.

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV and ITVHub.
