Ben from Love Island has a famous ITV star uncle who he parties with in Ibiza – and they look just like each other
LOVE Island star Ben Holbrough has a famous ITV reality star uncle - but can you guess who it is?
The taxi driver and mode from Gloucester, 23, is in the villa hoping to find his dream woman.

But before heading into the villa, Ben would have likely got advice from his identical-looking reality TV star uncle.
Have you guessed who it is yet?
Ben's uncle is Warren Phillips, who starred on ITV's Survival of the Fittest 2018, presented by Laura Whitmore.

Survival Of The Fittest saw a group of hot young singles sent to the South African Savannah to take part in the ultimate battle of the sexes, involving mental and physical challenges.
Throughout the series, the contestants have the opportunity to romance the opposite sex - but only at the expense of their team's chances in the competition.
The 36-year-old was part of the Boys Team on series one.
He ended up finishing in fifth place being a part of the runner-up team, alongside James, David & Tristan.
Ben has previously shared snaps of him and Warren together on social media and the pair seem to have a pretty tight bond.
In one photo, the lads showed off their muscular physiques by going topless for bathroom selfies in Ibiza.
Another photo saw them hanging out with a group of mates at Wayne Lineker's famous beach club O Beach Ibiza.
Ben appears to have turned it around after fans demanded he was axed for his brutal chat with Toni.
He is now coupled up with Shakira.
Last week fans ranted "get him out", after they claimed he was showing "scary red flag behaviour".
Ben randomly got annoyed at a comment Toni made about the "prospect of the boys not being safe" when any male bombshells enter the villa.
Things then escalated, when Ben admitted that he thought she gave him "ick".
When Toni tried to ask him about this, he immediately got defensive and dismissive of her feelings.
Things quickly turned sour and he told her: 'I don't feel like me and you have got that spark if I am being honest.'
Looking taken aback Toni replied 'okay' as he continued: 'That is just me being honest but I know when I have got it with someone. That I feel it straight away. But yeah I don't feel like you and me have got it.'
Toni then said: 'I mean I don't think that technique is going to work for you here.'
He asked what she meant and she replied: 'Right away off the bat.'
Smirking, he responded: 'You'd be surprised. I feel like sparks have already been made.'
An unhappy Toni hit back: 'Good luck pal.'
But Ben's bad attitude towards Toni, and also how he had snapped at her earlier in the episode, has not gone down well with viewers, with some claiming this is a "red flag".
There were even calls for him to be removed from the villa.
Taking to X/Twitter, one said: "What is Ben's problem? Can't be dealing with this guy for next two months get him out!"
While another added: "Ben's an insufferable man child. hope the next make bombshell sends him packing."
