Love Island All Stars’ Luca Bish is seemingly smitten in his couple with Grace Jackson as he recently closed off his relationship in the show’s latest episode.
But fans who have followed the fishmonger over the years may not be surprised as Grace, 26, shares an uncanny resemblance to one of Luca’s former flames, Saffron Barker.
Luca, 25, and Youtuber Saffron, 24, dated around 2021 after they met through mutual friends and attended the same school in Brighton.
And while Saffron previously shrugged off their romance as a ‘fling’, Luca seemingly gravitates towards a woman of a certain style as Grace and Saffron have a very similar appearance.
Looking through their social media pages, MailOnline uncovered an array of outings that saw the two blondes looking almost identical.
The most recent being in October when the pair both dressed up as Christina Aguilera during her Dirty music video.

At first glance, it would be difficult to pinpoint whose who in their Halloween-focused posts as they stepped out in bottomless leather chaps and striped bras.
And this is not the only time where the duo have looked very alike as they both channeled old Hollywood glamour.
Slipping into a set of sparkly golden dresses, the blondes were hard to tell apart side from the differences in hair styles.
In her typical style, Grace slicked her blonde tresses up into a sleek bun while Saffron, who is currently dating Josh Miln, styled her tresses into thick waves.
For their quick getaways, the two women also opt for a more soft aesthetic.
In one post shared to Instagram, Saffron posted a snap walking down a sunny street abroad while wearing a long white skirt and a matching strapless top which featured a stylish cut-out design.
And one in a similar fashion can also be found on Grace’s social media as she opted for a long white dress that had a similar design pattern to Saffron’s on the top.
Even when the pair switched it up and opted for full-black ensembles, they both opted for floor-length lace body suits.

With the only major difference being that Grace typically styles her hair up in a bun while Saffron rocks a big, bouncy blowout, the duo are almost the spit of one another.
When the pair go on a sun-soaked holiday they also opt for similar swimwear as Saffron stunned in a sunrise gradient bikini which she paired with a white linen skirt.
And Grace appeared to follow suit as she opted for a sunset gradient bikini which she also paired under a white sheer mini skirt.
When they are not topping up their tans in fiery red bikinis, the pair also both opt for similar summer dresses.
In one snap, Grace posed up a storm in a ruffle green two-piece which featured a cut-panel design and a knotted halter neck.
Meanwhile Saffron also opted for a similar look during one of her previous holidays as she posed in a very similar ensemble.
For a night out on the town, they have both previously opted for the more risky options.
For one night out, Grace and Saffron stepped out in a very similar black dresses which featured very wide cut-out panels.

These pictures are just a few of many snaps that highlight the pair’s very similar styles, confirming Luca’s taste in women.
Luca is currently on the second UK series of Love Island: All Stars and appears to be happy getting to know Grace.
But his journey with Grace in the villa has not been plain sailing as he had his head turned for a brief moment when bombshell Samie Elishi entered the villa.
After a few days, Luca chose to concentrate all his efforts on Grace and picked the blonde beauty for the recoupling.
Luca and Saffron dated ‘for a long time’ before they decided to stay ‘good friends’ and avoid the serious label of a relationship.
Saffron previously revealed on the Staying Relevant podcast that the pair were not actually official.
She told him: ‘To be fair, he wasn’t fully my ex. I was kind of just seeing him for a long time. No, we weren’t friends with benefits, but we didn’t quite get in a relationship.’
Luca, Saffron and fellow islander Harriet Blackmore have all been friends for years as they all attended the same school in Brighton.
And his connections with multiple women on and around the show have landed him in some sticky situations which has left ITV viewers flocking to his defense and accusing the villa of ‘ganging up’ on him.
Despite showing his commitment to Grace, the villa chose to put to the public whether he and Samie were a better match during Tuesday’s episode.
Given it nearly brought his romance with Grace to an abrupt end weeks earlier, Luca was visibly irked by the question, especially when the poll revealed 54 percent of the show’s fans felt he and Samie were better suited.
Things didn’t get any easier for Luca, as it was then revealed that Harriett and Ronnie Vint had asked whether he had his childhood friend’s interest at heart, despite the fact the pair had made amends hours earlier.
Harriett insisted she wanted to ask the question because she felt Luca ‘didn’t understand why she was upset,’ but he insisted her reasons were ‘rubbish.’
While the poll showed most of the public felt Luca did have Harriett’s best interests at heart, he was annoyed that the issue had been brought up again.

Viewers agreed, with some noting that much of the questions aimed were Luca were a rehash of issues that had already been quashed.
Posts on X included: ‘No why are they ganging up on Luca wtf;
‘Sigh unfortunately Harriett and Ronnie are making me side with Luca on this one;
‘Samie and Luca said 3 sentences to each other. A certain side of the public are dragging it;
‘Harriett is OBSESSED with Luca atp;
‘Luca and Grace are soo cuteeee, these questions about them are sooo wild! They don’t deserve this!’
Earlier in the episode, Luca did raise eyebrows among fans after hastily making amends with Harriett, after she and Ronnie were saved by the public.
The pair had clashed after Harriett moaned that Luca had failed to stick up for her when Casey O’Gorman claimed she and Ronnie shouldn’t have rekindled their romance on the show.

But in the episode, Luca and Harriett suddenly decided to make amends, with the childhood friends insisting they’d always share a close bond.
Luca told Harriett: ‘I do want you to have the best experience now, there’s been stupid stuff that’s been supposedly said or stuff that’s happened, if it wasn’t in this environment, there would have never been an issue….
‘I know we’ve had ups and downs but the one thing I’ve never questioned is you and Ronnie so it’s nice that everyone on the outside is seeing it too.’
Harriett added: ‘It’s nice when you think something and you want to trust in the process…I love you.’
As they make their way back to the group Luca joked: ‘You too, just don’t tell anyone to shut their f*****g mouth and I’ll have your back all the way.’
Given Luca had said just hours earlier he felt Harriett’s comments to Casey – when she told him to ‘shut his f*****g mouth’ – were out of line, viewers quickly called into question his change in view.
Some noted that Luca may want to stay close to Harriett, after she and Ronnie received the most votes to be saved from the last vote-off.
Posts on X included: ‘Luca conveniently making up with Harriett after the public saved her;’
‘Tired of Luca and his flip flopping tbh, your bird told you to stfu twice and you didn’t see any problem?? Harriet was wrong but so was Grace #LoveIslandAllStars #LoveIsland;
‘Luca did a 360 on Harriett cause he’s seen the public love her;
‘Call me a hater but Luca changing his tune with Harriett after finding out she’s liked by the public, feels calculated to me;’
‘Luca only clearing the air with Harriett only after she got the most votes, his game playing getting more obvious by the day.’
Love Island: All Stars continues on Wednesday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
