Taking to Twitter, fans demanded the show to "check birth certificates" of some of its stars, including PE teacher Kai Fagan as many were adamant he couldn't be 24 years old.
"Nahhh Kai is not 24. Check that birth certificate now," tweeted one critic as another wrote: "Kai is 24???? Was he born in a leap year?"
A third believed Kai was in his 30s, penning: "No way is Kay 24, more like 32, mate."
Another islander under fire was bombshell Tom Clare, 23 – who Maya introduced in the show's last few minutes – as fans also questioned his age online.
"The age of these contestants blows my mind sometimes, especially Tom and Kai," commented one viewer.
