Love Island fans mock Haris after he compares himself to Cristiano Ronaldo
LOVE Island fans have brutally mocked Islander Haris Namai after the reality star compared himself to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The singleton - who was introduced to the ITV2 dating show last night - compared himself to the world-famous footballer.
Haris, 21, a TV salesman from Doncaster, was seen introducing himself on last night's show, as the new series kickstarted.
He told fans he was hoping his time in the villa would help him find "the right one", as he admitted he "never found love" before his time on the show.
However, as he described himself and what the girls might be attracted to, he made a comparison to footballer Ronaldo.
The reality star said that his mum thinks he looks like Cristiano, 37, thanks to his tall, dark and handsome complexion.

Despite promising that it would help him with the ladies, Haris' lookalike comparison ended up in him being mocked by fans watching at home.
Taking to Twitter, some fans cruelly compared the star to a statue of the footballer at Madeira International Airport.
"You don't look like Ronaldo..." one wrote, as another chimed in: "Who the f**k told Haris he looks like Ronaldo?"
"Haris your mum is a true liar. Ronaldo?" a third added, while a fourth said: "No one is telling Haris he looks like Ronaldo, unless they mean a caricature."
