Ellie Jones from Love Island confuses pork and lamb, viewers react

Love Island contestant Ellie Jones had viewers in hysterics after revealing she didn’t know hotdogs were made of pork and thought lamb came from a cow.

Fans branded her “the new Hayley” as she revealed yawning gaps in her knowledge about food and animals.

“Cow is beef,” Sam replied, before Ellie said: “Is that like lamb? Like mince?”
