Love Island viewers are convinced that new bombshell Mal Nicol looks like a carbon copy of a previous contestant.
Scottish lass Mal sashayed into the villa along with fellow bombshell Montel McKenzie this week.
She made herself at home as she got to know the boys and girls of this year's competition.
New arrivals Mal and Montel took recently single Islanders Jess, Mitch, Sammy and Leah on dates.
However, fans couldn't help but notice that the stunning picture researcher looks similar to the winter series star Layla.

"Ngl but Mal reminds me of Layla from last season," one user said on Twitter.
Mal Nicol entered as a bombshell (ITV)One shocked viewer posted: "Mal is a copy and paste of Layla from Casa Amor last year."
"Is it just me or is she a double of Layla from winter season??," a viewer added while one commented: "They could be twins."
Before entering the villa, Mal opened up about what she thinks of the girls in the villa.
Mal, 25, hails from Edinburgh (ITV/REX/Shutterstock)"I think they are all very different. Jess says it how it is and has good banter and I like her humour. I like Molly’s energy – it seems very contagious and very positive. I think I would vibe with them. And obviously Ella is from Glasgow so we have that in common!," she said.
She also said she was excited to take part in the challenges, adding: "I am such an attention seeker, so I will love that. It’s going to feel so euphoric – that’s why I want someone who is playful and fun.
Fans think she looks similar to last season's Layla (ITV/REX/Shutterstock)"Someone who is unapologetically themselves. Life’s too short – no-one cares."
Meanwhile, fans might remember Layla from the previous season. She entered the villa this winter along with five other bombshells.
Before she entered the villa, she had her eye on Casey and Ron, but ended up having a moment with farmer Will Young.
Will, who is currently dating Jessie Wynter, ended up kissing Layla at one point and broke down crying when his cheating came to light.
