Winter Love Islanders and their 'twin' lookalikes from previous seasons

It's less than a week until Winter Love Island begins and the cast has big shoes to fill after the summer's season of secret balcony snogs and cringey - yet iconic lines - such as the infamous "I licked her tit or whatever."

On Monday, the latest batch of contestants on the hunt for love, and a lucrative fashion deal, were unveiled, with many viewers pointing out they looked incredibly similar to stars from previous seasons.

One person even said on Twitter: "Do they just press ctrl+c on contestants each year? I forget people's names because they all look so similar to the years before. Give us something newwwwwwwwwwww."

Let's take a look at this season's contestants and their glam 'twins'.

Anna-May Robey and India Reynolds

With her long brown hair and dimples, payroll assistant Anna-May Robey is a dead ringer for India Reynolds, who finished third in the 2019 series with fan favourite Ovie Soko.

Anna, 20, says she is looking for someone who makes her laugh as she has been single for "quite a while".

She went on: "my mother is bugging me, she's like, ‘You need to find a boyfriend.’ I’m just excited to try something new and I think going on Love Island is a good way to meet someone."

Tanyel Reven and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu

Hair stylist Tanyel, 26, and last year's winner Ekin-Su could be sisters with their caramel coloured tresses and flawless skin. Tanyel's Instagram page shows she is also partial to a cut-out dress just like actress Ekin.

Their looks looks might not be their only similarities as as Tanyel describes herself as "funny, loud, feisty, charismatic."

When asked for her elevator pitch on why someone should want to date her, Tanyel said: "I’m hard to get, confident, funny, charismatic, good looking and happy. I’m also a very loyal person, what is there not to love?"

Rising social media star Tanya, 22, and 2019 Love Island star Yewande are not only similar in looks but interests too.

Yewande was a scientist before she entered the villa and went to university aged just 16. As well as being an influencer with more than 11,500 followers on Instagram, Tanya is studying biomedical science at uni.

When asked why she is going on Love Island, Tanya said: "I’m looking for a boyfriend and I think being in a Villa with lots of different people will help me work out who it is I may want."

Charlie failed to impress the ladies with his worm last year after entering as a bombshell, so let's hope his blonde haired double Will has more luck.

Will, who like Charlie rocks a quiff, is a farmer from Birmingham, and looking forward to spending some time away from his animals to focus on finding the one.

When asked why he's single, Will candidly answered: "Probably commitment issues. I self sabotage myself sometimes when I’ve got a good thing going. I do like my own space and my own time; I haven’t got to stress about anything and just worry about myself."

Kai Fagan and Danny Williams

With their cheeky grins, Kai and exercise coach Danny bear a striking resemblance.

It seems Kai like Danny is keen on fitness as he is a PE teacher, and both are from Manchester.

Finding a match might prove tricky as Kai revealed he is "single by choice" as he has "high expectations" when it comes to love.

When asked what he will bring to the villa, the teacher said: I’m pretty lighthearted, I love a laugh. I’m really calm and chilled as well, pretty level headed, quite mature… but not too mature.
