Love Island fans say same thing about Tanyel and Ekin-Su in striking Instagram pic

Love Island fans were in disbelief as they compared Winter series star Tanyel Revan to Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

The new series of the ITV2 show, which is hosted by Maya Jama, is returning this evening and fans are preparing to watch the new stars for the first time.

One of the many beautiful contestants entering the South African is Turkish beauty Tanyel.

As none of the stars are allowed to post during their stay on the show, fans have opted for commenting on old photos.

Under a few stunning photos of the 26-year-old hairstylist, people discussed her similarities to last year's winner Ekin-Su.

"WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE EKIN SU," one user said while another added: "giving me ekinsu vibes."

One follower posted: "omg @ekinsuofficial twin" and another commented: "Ekin-su?"

Before heading into the villa, Tanyel revealed she 'won't bite her tongue' while finding love.

Speaking to the Mirror, Tanyel explained: "I'm a very calm person, but I feel like if someone's a bit disrespectful or a bit too much when they cross the line I can switch and just... start yapping.

"I'm quite confrontational and I'm very direct. Whatever it is, I know that even if it's something little or big, I'll have to say what I'm thinking.

"There's no way I can just bite my tongue, I can't it's just not in me."

Tanyel is set to join Olivia Hawkins, Tanya Manhenga, Lana Jenkins and Anna-May Robey alongside the girls in the villa.

Meanwhile, the guys in the lineup are Ron Hall, Kai Fagan, Shaq Muhammad and Haris Namani.

This series of Love Island has a huge twist this year as fans will get the chance to vote for which bombshell they want entering the villa.

Viewers can choose between 25-year-old Ellie Spence, a Business Development Executive at a law firm from Norwich, or Tom Clare, a 23-year-old semi-pro footballer from Barnsley, who will then enter the villa as a bombshell.

Ellie is looking for a husband on the show after a "dry" few years.

"I’ve been single for three years and the roster is pretty dry, it’s been dry for the last year, I don’t know what happened, it’s just not been a great time for me so I’m ready to find my husband," she said.
