Mal is the ex of last year’s Islander and Scottish hunk Jay Younger – who ended things before he jetted off to find love in the villa but now it is her turn to find romance.
Jumping straight in, the new arrivals had to go on dates with recently single Islanders Jess, Mitch, Sammy and Leah.
Jess and former partner Sammy were voted as one of the least compatible couples by their fellow Islanders, along with Mitchel and Leah.
But viewers of the show couldn’t help but point out Mal’s resemblance to the former contestant and 2023 Winter series star Layla.
Rushing to Twitter, one person proclaimed: “ngl but Mal reminds me of Layla from last season.”

A second agreed: “Is it just me or is she a double of Layla from winter season??”
“They could be twins,” said someone else, as a fourth quipped: “I think Mal looks like Layla from the winter series.”
Echoing their thoughts, another person chimed in and penned: “Mal is a copy and paste of Layla from Casa Amor last year.”
Layla shot to fame on the show when she entered the villa during Casa Amor with five other bombshells.
There she famously had a fleeting romance and got close with Will Young – who was coupled up with Aussie babe Jessie Wynter.
As for Mal she and Mitchel seem pretty smitten after their date – with Mitchel telling his co-stars that the date went well.
