Love Island’s new boy Tom is unrecognisable in schoolboy throwback as pal jokes he ‘gives hope to us all’
LOVE Island newbie Tom Walker is unrecognisable in a schoolboy throwback, with a pal joking he gives “hope to us all”.
The 28-year-old star is hot property in the villa with Maura Higgins and Elma Pazar both fancying him.
However, Tom hasn’t always been the chiselled hunk he is today, with a friend sharing an old photo of the Leeds local to the Islander’s Instagram Story last night.
In the post, little Tom looks smart in a white shirt and patterned tie, beaming at the camera.
The pal also included a current snap of the model – with his prominent jawline fully defined.
They captioned the side-by-side: “Cannot wait for this to resurface @Tom9Walker – there is hope for us all yet”.
They then added the hashtags #TransformationTuesday and #LoveIsland.
Tom entered the villa alongside fellow newcomer Jordan Hames at the weekend, whisking singletons Anna Vakili and Maura on romantic dates upon his arrival.
Tom seemed to get on well with grid girl Maura – although he later upset the Irish beauty when he confessed that Elma had also taken his fancy.
Maura was left “fuming” when Elma admitted that she was keeping her options open and refused to rule out getting to know Tom despite being coupled up with Anton Danyluk.
The two girls clashed, with Maura accusing the Essex lash technician of breaking the “girl code”, whereas Elma accused Maura of being a hypocrite considering she’d actively pursued Tommy Fury despite him being coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague.
The pair appeared to make up after a heart-to-heart, with the love triangle coming to a premature end during last night’s show when Elma was booted from the villa.
Danny Williams, and Anna have also had their childhood snaps shared on Love Island’s spin-off programme, Aftersun.
