Love Island fans have finally pinpointed why 2026 bombshell Yasmin Hadlow seems so familiar, drawing comparisons to global pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter. The 23-year-old recruitment consultant, who entered the villa as the series' first bombshell alongside footballer George Knight, quickly coupled up with OG boy Aidan Murphy before pursuing a connection with villa favourite Lorenzo Alessi.
Reddit Comparison Goes Viral
An ITV fan shared a side-by-side comparison of Yasmin and Sabrina Carpenter on Reddit, writing: "Was tryna figure out for ages why Yasmin looks so familiar/where I've seen her before. Is it just me or do her and Sabrina Carpenter share a lot of facial similarities?" The post garnered over a thousand likes and dozens of comments agreeing with the observation, as reported by OK!.
One viewer commented: "Yeah I've thought this from the second we saw her! They could be Polly pocket twins." Another added: "I've called her Sabrina Carpenter in my head from the moment she walked in." A third fan wrote: "Oh me and my bf just call her that [Sabrina Carpenter] out loud I forget her real name sometimes lol." Others echoed the sentiment, with one saying: "I said this a few days ago on here! I can't unsee it!" and another admitting: "Omg I couldn't put my finger on it, but yes."
Yasmin's Villa Journey
Yasmin's romance with Aidan Murphy was short-lived, and she has since set her sights on Lorenzo Alessi. However, the Casa Amor twist, which launched on Sunday (June 28), could spell heartbreak for the Kent bombshell. Lorenzo appears besotted with newcomer Julia Majchrzak, while Yasmin has yet to forge a strong connection with the new male islanders.
Lorenzo Also Draws Celebrity Comparisons
Yasmin's current beau Lorenzo has also been compared to a well-known celebrity. Fans believe he bears a striking resemblance to Sex and the City actor Chris Noth, who portrayed Carrie Bradshaw's contentious love interest, Mr. Big.
Love Island airs Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
