Love Island favourite Chloe Burrows has sent the internet into a complete meltdown after appearing on E4's Celebs Go Dating looking almost unrecognisable to her fans.
The 28-year-old reality star, known for her glamorous and polished appearance on the ITV2 dating show, debuted a shockingly natural look for the new series. Appearing bare-faced with her hair tied back in a simple ponytail, the transformation was so drastic that viewers at home were left doing a double-take.
Social Media Erupts Over 'Unrecognisable' Star
Fans immediately flooded social media platforms with their astonishment. One stunned viewer posted on X, formerly Twitter: 'Is that actually Chloe from Love Island?! I didn't recognise her at all without the glam.'
Another comment echoed the sentiment, stating: 'Chloe Burrows looks so different without makeup on Celebs Go Dating, it's actually jarring.' The sheer volume of posts and comments quickly turned the moment into one of the most talked-about events of the night.
Seeking Love Away from the Villa
Burrows, who found fame on the 2021 series of Love Island, has joined the agency's roster of singletons in a genuine quest to find love away from the structured environment of the Mallorcan villa.
She is joined by a host of other famous faces including TOWIE star Pete Wicks, Made in Chelsea's Miles Nazaire, and X Factor winner Sam Bailey. The show's expert dating advisors, Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson, are on hand to guide the celebrities through their romantic endeavours.
A Deliberate Departure from the 'Love Island Look'
The dramatic shift in appearance is seen by many as a deliberate move by Burrows to distance herself from the highly manufactured and filtered world of Love Island. It presents a more authentic and relatable version of herself as she embarks on a new chapter in her search for a real connection.
Whether this raw and unfiltered approach will prove successful in her dating journey remains to be seen, but it has certainly succeeded in capturing the nation's attention and sparking a major conversation about beauty standards in reality television.
