Zara McDermott looks like Lola from Shark Tale

Lola is one sassy fish, just like Zara. That hair, those eyes, the pout - they basically share the same face. Hang on, how can a human look EXACTLY like a beautiful fish?

Megan Barton Hanson looks like a snake

Many fans have pointed out her likeness to Hollywood star Margot Robbie, but most think she's got secret snaky scales under that FLAWLESS face.

Sam Bird is basically Matt Terry

We don't even need to explain this one. Just look. The X Factor's Matt Terry and Sam are the same person and we won't hear anything otherwise.

Eyal Booker looks like Mr Tumnus

Awww, wee Eyal and his cute curly locks has been compared to A LOT of celebs and characters. Our favourite (and most accurate) has to be Narnia's Mr Tumnus.

Niall Aslam looks like Zayn Malik

We were so sad to see Niall Aslam leave the villa after just a few days, especially as he shares the same suave, boyband looks as former One Directioner Zayn Malik.

Rosie Williams looks like Catherine Zeta Jones

OK, maybe it's mostly because they're both dark-haired, Welsh beauties - but we totally think Rosie has a very similar look to actress Catherine Zeta Jones. Fans missed this one, but what do you think?

Need we say more?

Adam Collard looks like Bruce from Finding Nemo

Another predator high in the Love Island villa food chain, Adam has shown some sharky behaviour. However, like Bruce here, he did show some remorse about his bad ways.

Samira Mighty's sunglasses icon is Mrs Lovett

Samira loves these Victorian style glasses. Each time we see her wearing them (which is a lot) we can only think of Helena Bonham Carter's character Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd.

Kendall Rae-Knight is twins with Kady McDermott

Ok, this one is FREAKY. Former Love Islander Kady McDermott has the same face as Kendall, right? We can't stop looking. It's too much.

Alex George is a pink salmon

Alex is a posh salmon blini with a big smear of sun cream (well, cream cheese). It's the canape no one wants a bite of.

Paul Knops and Ricky Rayment are basically the same person

Has anyone ever seen our great, lost Towie love and Paul Knops in the same room at the same time? That's all we're saying.

Joking aside, fans were overjoyed that the Scottish starlet found love with the Season 1 golden boy, after her shock split with co-star Paul Knops earlier this year.

And now it seems like the two are settling into the new normal of being coupled up.

"I just saw we got papped the other day buying a pumpkin. Did not know that was happening," she said at the awards ceremony, adding that she had "no idea" how the paparazzi know where to find them.

The new couple first set the gossip columns alight when Laura posted a steamy video of the two snogging in the back of a cab after a (boozy!) night out. With his new girlfriend sat on his lap, Max is seen chanting about his love for Manchester United before he goes in for the kill.

She's also previously revealed that she had in fact first contacted Max online before she even joined the Love Island cast. "I actually messaged him last year when I was going to apply," she told Metro.co.uk last weekend. "I was like, 'Max, would you recommend going into the villa?' And he replied and said: '100% go for it'. I knew he was on the show years ago."
