Eden Dally’s ‘secret girlfriend’ Stephanie looks just like Erin Barnett

He’s been hit by claims that he was dating a woman just days before striking up a romance with Erin Barnett on Love Island.

And it seems Eden Dally has a distinct type when it comes to girls, as his rumoured secret girlfriend Stephanie Lea bears an uncanny resemblance to his current onscreen lover Erin, both 24.

The two bombshells boast eerily similar qualities, including mid-length platinum-blonde hair, busty physiques and familiar facial features.

The blonde beauties are also fond of flaunting their incredible physiques on social media, littering their Instagram feeds with snaps of themselves posing in scanty outfits and skimpy bikinis.

Stephanie is a freelance make-up artist from Sydney – where prison officer Eden is based – while Erin is a nursing student and promo model living in Melbourne.

Scandal erupted on Thursday when a radio caller alleged that Eden Dally was in a relationship with Stephanie until just days before the show began filming.

Alashana Stead, who is apparently 24-year-old Stephanie’s best friend, called into The Kyle and Jackie O Show to make the sensational claims.

Alashana also claimed that Stephanie is the same ‘secret girlfriend’ kissing Eden in a photo shared to the Love Island Australia Memes social media accounts this week.

The image of Stephanie and Eden from the Love Island Memes page appears to be dated 31 March 2018, and includes the caption: ‘When you go on a dating show while you’re dating someone else.’ 

According to Alashana, the photo of Eden with his arms around Stephanie was ‘taken at his parents’ place over Easter’ this year.

After discovering reports about the meme, Alashana contacted The Kyle and Jackie O Show, claiming to have proof of the ‘secret’ relationship.

‘Eden didn’t actually tell Stephanie he was going on Love Island until the Wednesday before filming. He left for the Island on the Friday,’ she claimed.

Fears: The claims were made on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show. After hearing the story, co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson admitted she was now worried Erin (pictured) destined to have her heartbroken by Eden

Filming began on Saturday May 26. Eden had allegedly told Stephanie – his girlfriend of ‘several months’ – where he was going on May 23.

Alashana further claimed that Stephanie developed a ‘hunch’ something was up after Eden told her ‘he was going on a “trip to America with the boys”‘. 

Stephanie’s suspicions were ultimately confirmed on May 23, when Eden finally ‘confessed’ he was going on Love Island.

Afterwards, Stephanie allegedly told Eden: ‘You know what? It’s a good opportunity for you, so if you want to do that, then you do that.’

‘She didn’t leave it on bad terms,’ Alashana added.
