Love Island fans are buzzing over the latest drama in the villa following the arrival of Elicia Bailey. The new contestant turned heads as she stepped in on Thursday (July 9), making an immediate impact by choosing Finley Maddock for one of her first dates. Sparks flew between the pair, despite Finley's existing relationship with fan-favorite Ellie Chadwick.
Ellie and Finley had been a rock-solid couple, surviving the Casa Amor loyalty test with flying colors. Many viewers had pegged them as finalists. However, Elicia’s entrance shook things up, as Finley quickly found himself drawn to the newcomer.
While Elicia's romantic endeavors have been captivating, it's her striking resemblance to another public figure that's causing a stir. Fans have taken to social media to point out her uncanny likeness to adult entertainer Bonnie Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger. The comparison was first highlighted when an ITV fan posted a TikTok video asking, "Can't just be me who thinks the new bombshell looks like Bonnie Blue?"
Responses poured in, with many agreeing instantly. "Immediately thought that," one commenter wrote. Another chimed in, "Yes, I knew she looked familiar." The conversation continued to grow, with fans noting not only the visual similarities but also their similar speech patterns.
“Was bugging me then it clicked,” a viewer exclaimed, summing up the shared sentiment among many.
Comparisons among Love Island contestants and celebrities are nothing new. This season alone, Yasmin Hadlow has been likened to pop star Sabrina Carpenter, while Julia Majchrzak from Casa Amor has invited comparisons to Angelina Jolie.
Despite joining the villa late, Elicia has managed to capture plenty of attention. On July 10, she invited Aidan Murphy and Finley to the Hideaway for a cheeky game, continuing to make waves among the male Islanders. With Love Island currently streaming on ITVX, fans can’t wait to see what twists come next.
