Love Island fans are convinced they've spotted Simon Cowell in the villa

Has 'Cowell' come to give Tommy Fury a record deal after his acapella performance of The Climb?
Lookalike: The talent show judge appeared to make a cameo in the villa
ITV2

Love Island viewers were left baffled during last night’s show as Simon Cowell appeared to make a surprise cameo appearance in the villa.

As the islanders worked out in the outdoor gym area, eagle-eyed fans noticed someone who bore a suspiciously strong resemblance to the Britain’s Got Talent judge lurking among the weights.

The Cowell-alike appeared to have the talent show empresario’s signature square hairdo along with his dark sunglasses, but admittedly looked a little more tanned than the X Factor king.

Upon further inspection, Cowell’s doppelganger was in fact revealed to be contestant Callum.

This didn’t stop fans on Twitter from having plenty of fun with the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment.

“When did Simon Cowell get into the villa?” one confused viewer asked, while a parody account wrote “Been working out with Simon Cowell today, it is what it is” alongside a photo of Sherif, Anton and ‘Cowell’ in the gym area.

“Simon Cowell enters the villa to snap up Tommy Fury after hearing his rendition of Hannah Montana,” one viewer wrote, referring to the boxer’s impromptu version of Miley Cyrus’s The Climb.

“Fair play to Simon Cowell for showing up,” another wrote, though some suggested that the shape-shifting contestant actually looked more like one of the Gallagher brothers.

“Nobody else spot Noel Gallagher training in the villa tonight then,” one fan asked, while another added: “When did Liam Gallagher enter the villa?”

The Welsh aircraft engineer is yet to enjoy much air time on the fifth series of the dating contest, making his accidental Cowell impersonation one of his biggest - or at least most meme-worthy - moments on the show to date.

Tonight’s episode will see the first major recoupling of the new series, leaving one unlucky islander packing their bags and heading home via Palma airport.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
