Love Island’s Rebecca Gormley IS 21 and has not been lying about her age

LOVE Island’s Rebecca Gormley isn’t lying about her age as many viewers thought – with her birth certificate proving she really is 21.

Fans of the ITV reality show were convinced that the former Miss Newcastle was lying about her age, saying she looks much older.

The Sun Online can confirm that Rebecca was born on April 18 1998 at North Shields General hospital.

One sceptic had tweeted: “Rebecca and Finley are well suited since they’re both identity frauds claiming to be younger than their actual age of 37.”

Another joked: “Thought Rebecca pulled Finn for a chat to tell him that she’s lied about her age too.”

Others demanded to see her birth certificate to prove that her claim is correct.

Since joining the show as a bombshell, Rebecca has caused no end of drama, expressing an interest in Callum Jones, 23,  Connagh Howard, 27, and Finley Tapp, 20.

Her entrance during the Dirty Dancing challenge left the girl furious as she got close and personal with their men.

She ended up going on dates with Callum and Connor Durman, 25, after her surprise appearance raised their heart rates the most.

However Callum shot down any hopes of a romance in Wednesday night’s episode as he told Rebecca he was happy with Shaughna Phillips, 25.

Rebecca didn’t seem too disappointed as she pursued Connagh and ended up kissing him.

The pair shared a super-flirty exchange, with him telling the 21-year-old model: “When you first came in, I didn’t think you’d be interested in me at all, to be honest.”

She replied: “Really? You tick every box for me.”

After that, all it took was for him to say: “I think you’re proper fit” and the pair were hooking up on one of the day beds outside.

But her head is set to be turned tonight when new boys Luke Trotman, 22, and Luke Mabbot, 24, enter the villa.
