Love Island fans compare Rebecca Gormley to Hollyoaks' Mercedes McQueen

"Rebecca must be related to Mercedes McQueen"

Author: Alex RossPublished 23rd Jan 2020

She's been in the Love Island villa less than one week, but already bombshell Rebecca Gormley is causing a stir among the Islanders. After Callum Jones told the her he's happy with Shaughna Phillips, Rebecca set her sights on Connagh Howard, despite the Welshman also having interest from Jess Gale and Siânnise Fudge.

And after giving Connagh a snog on the day beds, viewers of the popular reality show were quick to compare the former Miss Newcastle to Hollyoaks character Mercedes McQueen (AKA Jennifer Metcalfe).

Fans of Hollyoaks were quick to take to Twitter, comparing Rebecca's appearance to the iconic Mercedes.

One user wrote, '#LoveIsland Rebecca must be related to Mercedes McQueen 😁', with another adding, 'Is it just me or does the New girl Rebecca & Mercedes McQueen from hollyoaks look a like?! #LoveIsland'. sic

A third added, 'Can’t stop seeing or hearing Mercedes Mcqueen when I see Rebecca #LoveIsland', with another writing, 'All I see on love island is Mercedes McQueen!!! Rebecca who??'.

Another then wrote, 'Figured it out.. Rebecca looks like Mercedes McQueen 😂😂 #loveisland'. sic

With a recoupling looming, two brand new boys will enter the villa on tonight's show, in the form of semi-professional footballer Luke Trotman and heating engineer Luke Mabbott.

Viewers were asked to vote on the Love Island app last night, for which two girls they'd like to see go on dates with the new boys, and whilst the results haven't yet been revealed, Luke Trotman has set his sights on Rebecca and Leanne.
