Love Island fans have pointed out the resemblance between Irish contestant Kaila Troy and RTÉ presenter Claire Byrne.
The Dublin native entered Love Island’s Casa Amor on Monday night, and Irish viewers think she’s Claire’s doppelgänger.
Comparing a photo of the two women on Twitter, one user wrote: “This new Irish girl Kaila in Casa Amor looks the spitting image of Claire Byrne and I can’t unsee it.”

Irish viewers went wild when one fan tweeted, “Poor Claire Byrne there getting no action,” after the Islanders played a raunchy game of truth or dare.
There were some hilarious reactions to the tweet, with one user writing: “I’m ROARING.”
Another wrote: “CLAIRE BYRNE ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜”
Appreciative of the Irish sense of humour, a third person commented: “I love Ireland hahahaha.”
