A couple have revealed that they get comments about looking like an ‘Aldi version’ of Love Island couple Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury wherever they go.
Charleen Murphy and boyfriend Daniel Mandroiu, both 23, are based in Dublin and posted a recent TikTok video of their date night at The Fitzwilliam hotel in the city, as they celebrated Daniel’s birthday.
Social media influencer Charleen recorded it as a bit of fun, taking part in the recent ‘I know it ain’t the Stallion’ trend – but it blew up for an unexpected reason.
The clip has over 2.7m views and the comments were flooded with people comparing them to the Love Island stars.
“I recorded it on a whim and thought it was funny and it blew up instantly,” Charleen told Jam Press.
“People have non stop been comparing us to Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury.
“They also call us the ‘Aldi’ or ‘Wish’ versions of them which isn’t nice as I see it as people calling us a cheap version or a knock-off when realistically we don’t try to look like them! People can be horrible on TikTok.”
One comment said: “Who else thought this was Tommy Fury and Molly Mae.”
Another added: “When you order Molly Mae & Tommy Fury from Wish,” referencing the online shopping platform.
Many of the comments were a play on the names of the stars, with one writing: “Molly june and tommy angry.”
And some were glad to see other people had spotted the similarities after viewing the video.
One said: “I knew what this comment section would look like and I can say I was not disappointed.”
Another wrote: “I’m glad the whole comment section was thinking what I was thinking.”
In response, Charleen said: “It is hurtful when they say mean things but the majority of the comments are funny and light-hearted. It just gets kinda annoying when it’s said too much.”
It’s not the first time an image of Charleen and Danny has spread online because of the likeness.
Charleen said: “We went viral on Twitter too, nearly two years ago for looking like them and I dealt with awful trolling at the time.
“Molly-Mae saw it and reached out to ask if I was okay.”
Despite the nasty messages, Charleen is a fan of the star and admits it is nice to hear there is a resemblance.
Charleen added: “She is the sweetest person ever!
“I’m flattered to think that people even think I look a bit like her, she’s so fab!”
