Ex Love Island star Jordan Humes looks unrecognisable as he 'returns' to ITV2 show

Jordan Hames, who appeared on Love Island back in 2019, made an unexpected appearance tonight as the newest episode of the 2023 summer series aired.

Eagle-eyed fans were left baffled when they saw Jordan, 28, make a shock comeback to Love Island, four years after his unforgettable stint on the ITV2 dating show after his brief romance with Anna Vakili.

As viewers watched the adverts during the first half of tonight's episode, they were left scratching their heads after laying eyes on an actor in the advert who bore an uncanny resemblance to a former islander - but who also looked worlds away from him at the same time.

As it turns out, the actor in question was none other than Jordan, who appeared on screen as one of the models in the show's sponsor, eBay's, adverts.

Manchester native Jordan has undergone an incredible style transformation since his days in the Love Island villa.

His transformation is so epic that several fans were left in disbelief over his new look with many insisting that Jordan has had the 'best glow up' in Love Island history.

"Jordan Hames on the ad thooo, he's had a mad glow up since LI," one ITV viewer gushed.

"OMG I knew I knew him from somewhere and it was killing me!!! That's Jordan oh my days," another echoed.

While someone else swooned: "Genuinely the best glow-up in Love Island history! I follow him on Instagram now and his style has evolved like crazy. He could legit be a runway model for Gucci or something."

"Can't believe that's the same person that had a screaming match with Anna on Love Island!!! Fair play to him, he's come a long way," another Love Island viewer shared.

And another voiced: "The new eBay ad for #loveisland reminding me that Jordan Hames has had the BEST glow up of all Love Island contestants."

Jordan has put all of his passion into fashion since leaving the show in 2019 and regularly posts incredible style transformations on his social media accounts.

The savvy former reality TV star's hard work in the fashion industry has paid off as it has now landed him a top spot advertising pre-loved clothes for Love Island favoured brand eBay all summer long.
