Love Island fans have compared the burgeoning relationship between Laura Anderson and Paul Knop to that of Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt.
The duo are the only pairing from the last series of the ITV2 show to remain together, after coupling up late on in the run of the show when it seemed Camilla would never find a suitable match.
Laura has already been dumped by Wes Nelson and Jack Fowler, who have ended relationships with her in favour of other girls.
