She posted a string of pictures on Liam's 16th birthday back in 2015 - meaning he really is 21.
The new Islander was born in the year 2000 - but many fans weren't having it, with one writing: "Idk what Liam’s mum put in his milk but that boy is not 21."
Another joked: "Liam is 21???? He counting his age in dog years???"
A third tweeted: "Sorry I know the camera adds ten pounds but does it also add ten years? Liam is HARDLY 21!"
Faye, who is 26, made no secret of her shock at her age looking disappointed when he announced it on their date last night.
However, if she's willing to wait around he is going to turn 22 next month.
The news doesn't appear to have put her off too much in any case - with Faye saying tonight that she wants to MARRY the hunky new arrival.
She gushes to the girls after their date: "He is so fit. It was a good date. The chat was there. He’s so tall, he is so handsome.
