‘I need to see his ID’ say Love Island fans as Casa Amor boy reveals his ‘real age’
LOVE Island fans have demanded to see Casa Amor’s Lionel Awudu’s ID after fans accuse him of lying about his age.
The 24-year-old financial advisor from Reading entered the villa last night as one of the Casa Amor bombshells.
But fans were left gobsmacked as the hunky singleton revealed he’s in his early 20s.
Many took to social media to say we need “proof” after fans claimed Lionel looks much older than his age.
One wrote: “Sorry but Lionel is about 47, no way he is 24 , absolute MACHINE.”
A second posted: “I wanna see Lionel’s ID there is no way that uncle is 24.”
“LIONEL 24??? More like 44,” a third joked.
A fourth asked: “Do we believe Lionel is 24 tho?”
Someone shared a meme with the caption ‘somebody…..lying’ and wrote: “Lionel you aint 24 mate more like 38.”
Another shocked viewer added: “Lionel is only 24. What!!!”
He said he joined Love Island as a bombshell to “find the love of his life”.
Lionel told ITV: “I’m trying to find the love of my life, who can appreciate me and I can appreciate them.
“There’s no better place than Love Island.
“I’ve tried traditional dating methods, but it hasn’t really worked out for me.
“In life I feel like it’s better to try something new.”
He’s already got his sights set on Mimii – saying her reserved and chilled nature to be a perfect match for him.
“Mimii is more the reserved, chilled type. That matches me,” he explains.
On the other hand, Uma’s bubbly and energetic personality brings out a different side of Lionel.
He said: “Uma brings in that energy.
“She’s very bubbly, and that brings out the energised side of me.”
Last night the girls headed to the secret Casa villa and met six sexy single lads hoping to win them over.
An insider told The Sun: “The Casa bombshells are going to make the biggest bang yet.
“We always say Casa Amor is the ultimate test and this year’s troop are going to be some of the lads’ Everest.
“There’s some girls the lads will recognise — for good and bad reasons.
“There’s exes, situationships, conquests and affiliations.
“There’s already more drama in the villa than on the Euros football pitch, but bosses are expecting plenty of red cards from the OG girls after Casa.”
