As Love Island returns for its 13th series, social media users have pointed out striking similarities between the new cast and previous contestants, dubbing them 'Temu clones'. A detailed comparison reveals doppelgängers spanning multiple seasons, with physical appearance, names, and even relationship strategies echoing past Islanders.
Love Island fans are gearing up for another long, hot, summer, with the hit dating show set to return for its 13th series. And ahead of the launch show on Monday, ITV released a first look at the cast, who have jetted to Mallorca for a shot at finding love.
Yet rather than be excited to see the new Islanders, social media users were left with a sense of deja vu, taking to X to brand the cast 'Temu clones' of previous Islanders. Indeed, it seems the producers have a type on paper, with the season 13 stars bearing a striking resemblance to stars of the past. Now, the Daily Mail takes a look at this year's Love Island doppelgängers.
The article draws direct comparisons between the new season's contestants and memorable alumni. Ellie Chadwick, the blonde bombshell of series 13, is noted as the spitting image of season four's Ellie Brown, sharing not only looks but also a name. Both women have described their ideal type, with Chadwick seeking a 'tall, dark and handsome' man with specific features like 'nice teeth, nice tattoos' and a pretty face, while acknowledging the classic appeal.
Robyn Langton's athletic physique and golden locks invite comparisons to Helena Ford from season 12 and All Stars, with Langton outlining a more observant approach to love, preferring to assess personality and interaction before committing. Further parallels are drawn with Lorenzo Alessi, the 'European hunk', who recalls the 'Essex cheeky chappie' Nathan Massey, a successful season two winner who later married and had children.
Alessi's type is described as traditionally blonde, with a preference for 'posh girls' and a peculiar focus on arms and necks, citing Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie as benchmarks. Model Samraj Toor mirrors season eight's Davide Sanclimenti, a fan favourite winner who later split from his partner. Toor expresses confidence, noting he is accustomed to women approaching him and plans to watch and wait in the villa.
Ope Sowande is likened to Aaron Francis from season seven, a contestant who coupled with five women before being dumped. Sowande projects immense self-confidence, stating he is not intimidated by competition and is focused on his own attributes.
Finally, Mica Harris is compared to last year's finalist Shakira Khan, whose relationship with Harry Cooksley endured post-villa, leading to them moving in together. Harris, new to the English dating scene, adamantly rejects egotistical men, seeking someone obsessed with her
