So, former islander Jordan Hames just made a cameo in the Love Island eBay ad and let's just say, the reactions from viewers are pretty priceless...

With the return of one of our favorite dating shows (here's how to watch Love Island UK if you need to catch up) also came the renewal of the partnership between ITV and eBay, to dress the islanders in pre-loved gems to encourage second-hand shopping over fast fashion. This collab has therefore seen a number of former islanders join the eBay ranks, including Tasha Ghouriwho was named the first-ever 'Pre-Loved' ambassadorand of course, Jordan Hames from season five.

Starring in arguably one of the best Love Island UK seasons ever, Jordan's just appeared in one of the first eBay ads for season 10, and let's just say, it's caused something of a stir among fans...

What fans are saying about *that* Jordan Hames eBay ad

For anyone who didn't have the pleasure of watching Jordan's series, he was the source of many a Love Island meme, especially after his clash with Anna—we can still hear "Two days?!" in our heads (IYKYK).

Since then though, he's gone a little under the radar focusing on his modeling career, rather than going down the influencer route that many other islanders pursue. That is, until his recent appearance in eBay's Pre-Loved ad...

The adverts premiered throughout the first episode of Love Island season 10, with many viewers spying Jordan and being shook by just how different the former islander looks from his days in the villa.

One viewer quipped: "Jordan has glowed up so well whew," while a second added: "Jordan’s rebrand was actually crazyyyyy".

While another tweeted: "Jordan is stupid hot now, I don’t need eBay rubbing it in like this."

A third user again tweeted similar sentiments: "Jordan lookin a little too fine in these eBay ads."

We also couldn't not include this gem of a tweet: "Wait what? Jordan is an Ebay ambassador? Will their clothes also last just for TWO DAYS". Great work, everyone.

With eight weeks still to go of Love Island, get used to seeing the former islanders on your screens and fingers crossed that this season blesses us with memorable Love Island moments to rival some of his...
