Love Island Fans Uncover 'Unrecognisable' Snap Of Young Faye Winter Before Reality TV Stardom

Let's be honest, with Instagram in our back pockets, most of us are online detectives these days. Match a guy on Hinge and you can almost guarantee he'll have been found by your bestie in two seconds flat, and start a new job we can bet you'll know everyone's name, age and marital status before walking in the door...

Which is why we're not surprised at all that fans have already rooted out old pictures of some of our favourite Love Island stars.

Yep, a Reddit user has caused a right online storm as they shared a clip which scrolled right back to the first picture on some of the islanders' Instagram pages.

And Faye Winter's was one of them, featuring a much younger looking picture from 2019, where she posed in a tight black one-piece, with curly hair and significantly less makeup than she wears now.

In place of Faye's signature brown lippy, she instead opted for a lighter gloss, and kept her face dewy and fresh.

And she wasn't the only one who was showcased in the post, as Chloe Burrows and Millie Court also looked young and carefree in old images from their Insta - though they seemed to have changed less than some of the other islanders.

Lucinda Strafford also made an appearance, as she posed with gorgeous dark brown hair in one of her older snaps.

Perhaps the most striking change was that of Liam Reardon. Seriously, without stubble you'll barely be able to recognise the Welsh heart-throb. He looks like a different person.

Meanwhile, Jake Cornish is also adorable in his first Insta from 2013, pre gym gains and bleach job...

Look how innocent he is!

Reacting to the videos, fans naturally lost their mind at some of the bigger glow ups.

"WHEN I SAW JAKE I SCREAMED," one Reddit user wrote.

As another penned: "Why does Liam remind me of a young Simon Cowell....". LOL.

"FAYE?!, a fellow fan wrote in disbelief.

Meanwhile, someone else commented: "Millie still being a baddie, per usual".

Anyone else feel like they know the islanders more intimately now? We practically feel like old friends!
