Love Island fans spot Connagh does resemble Anthony Joshua's brother after Sophie's unexpected comparison

Love Island’s Sophie Piper left viewers puzzled when she said new arrival Connagh Howard looked like “Anthony Joshua’s brother” but it looks like she may have a point.

Thursday’s episode saw the 21-year-old getting rather excited about being chosen to go off on a date with the newbie.

When she returned, she excitedly told the other ladies that Connagh resembled the famous boxer, but there’s one small problem - he doesn’t actually look anything like him.

Her unexpected comparison sparked many bemused tweets from fans who could not see the resemblance at all:

However, it seems Sophie may have been onto something. As many fans pointed out, her exact words were: "He looks like Anthony Joshua's brother."

And a little bit of digging on social media soon unearthed pictures of Joshua’s brother, Jacob, who does look at least a little like Connagh:

While its still very early days, Sophie has struggled to find a match in the villa after initially being coupled up with Connor Durman.

The couple initially got on well but a series of small bust-ups, mainly over Connor’s revelations about his relationship history - there’s some distance between the pair.

Tonight’s (Friday, January 17) episode will the first official dumping take place and one Islander will be left packing their bags.

Love Island airs nightly, apart from on Saturdays, on ITV2 at 9pm.
