Love Island fans in disbelief over Molly Marsh's real age

Love Island viewers have been left in disbelief and questioning Molly Marsh's age. Series 10 of the ITV2 dating show returned on Monday (June 5).

But some of the ages of the contestants have proved a talking point - and this is especially the case for Molly Marsh, aged 21. But some viewers thought she looked older, the MirrorOnline reports.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: "how is molly 21???? " as a second said: "No way Molly is 21?!" A third fan tweeted: "Is Molly sure she’s 21?" while a fourth wrote: "molly 21? looks ab 26."

Poll: Is the government doing enough to help with the cost of living?

As the new series kicked off, the new islanders joined host Maya Jama in the villa as she revealed who had been paired up with who. The public had already voted to pair up the girls and boys, and Molly Marsh learned she had been paired up with Mitchel Taylor.

Both Islanders shared their happiness with being paired up with each other to other Islanders in the villa, moments after it happened.

Other islanders' ages also baffled viewers, with many of them 21, 22 and 24 years of age - but fans weren't buying it. One viewer said: "I want to see all their passports. 21? 22? Are they all sure?"

It comes after Maya confirmed a double twist to start off the series, with a show first too. Announcing she's "got some news", Maya revealed the decision of who the islanders would couple up with had already been made for them by the public.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain this week, Maya teased the shock twist, saying: "A very big surprise is that the public has all the power. For the first episode, you guys are going to decide who couples up. You vote and then we listen. It's a big decision to make, as soon as you see them."

For the first time ever, both boys and girls entered the villa as Ruchee Gurung and Jess Harding were joined by Mitchel Taylor, Ella and André Furtado as they got to know each other in one of the show's most flirtatious first episodes ever.
