Love Islander's awkward case of mistaken identity: 'Kim...Kim!'

Watch: Kai mistakes one of the Love Island bombshells for 'Kim'

Love Island viewers were left in hysterics on Monday when one contestant awkwardly mistook a bombshell for someone he knows at home.

The ITV2 dating show has launched its Casa Amor week, which sees the group split into male and female islanders and introduced to some new bombshell contestants who try to tempt them away from their current partners.

But when the new female islanders lined up by the pool, Kai Fagan was absolutely convinced that producers had brought in a mystery woman named Kim who he knows from his life outside of the show.

However, viewers were left laughing and cringing when it became obvious that Fagan, from Manchester, had mistaken Lydia Karakyriakou, from Glasgow, for "Kim".

As the bombshells trooped in, Fagan shouted out: "No, I know her...Kim!"

But as Karakyriakou looked confused, he quickly added: "No, I don't know her. She looks exactly like a girl I know."

Later, his fellow contestants laughed at his mistake as he insisted: "Bro, she looks exactly like this girl."

One viewer tweeted: "Kai shouting ‘KIM’ might be the funniest love island moment ever."

Someone else added: "SHOUTING KIM AT THIS RANDOM WOMAN NOT NAMED KIM IS HILARIOUS."

Another person wrote: "WHY DID KAI JUST SHOUT KIM AT A RANDOM GIRL IM CRYING."

Someone else agreed: "The way Kai called out Kim literally has me in tears."

Others thought the show had stumbled across the perfect plot twist, as one fan tweeted: "Can we find Kim and get her in there as a bombshell."

Someone else agreed: "Petition to bring the real Kim in for Kai."

Some viewers thought it would be difficult for PE teacher Fagan to get over the embarrassment, as one person wrote: "Nahhh if I did that I’ll pack my bags and get next flight home. How embarrassing."

Another viewer tweeted: "No Kai shouting Kim has given me so much secondhand embarrassment."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
