The former Islander in question is Lavena Back, who is now a mother and fitness influencer.
She was briefly on Love Island during the dreaded Casa Amor stage six years ago, but failed to steal one of the boys so didn't make it in the main villa.
Since then, Lavena has got married, had two kids and now is a body builder.
Showing off her muscles in her latest Instagram post, she revealed she had just competed in a body building competition.
"Didn't walk away with the trophy, but walked away with so much more," she told fans.
"The line-up was insanely strong, and I'm honestly so proud of myself for even getting this far.
"This journey lit a fire in me, and I already know I'll be back, better than ever thank you to my legend of a coach @jase_eliteresults for getting me here!"
FINDING LOVE
Prior to going on Love Island, Lavena had an on-off relationship with Premier League star Wilfried Zaha.
But the influencer failed to find love on the ITV2 reality show and didn't make it out of Casa Amor.
Now, times have changed for the star as she's certainly found love and is married to her 'soul mate.'
Love Island star Lavena Back reveals she's pregnant with second child
Lavena revealed the sweet news in April 2022, as she posed in a wedding dress.
The reality star wrote: 'When you want something so bad you've just got to go for it… so we tied the knot.'
BECOMING A MUM
Lavena and her husband had their first child in August 2022.
She announced her second pregnancy in June 2023, with a scan picture and the words: "When 3 became 4.'
Lavena then welcomed baby number two the following year.
The star uses her social media to share videos about motherhood.
In her bio she writes that she's 'just a mum,' and she often shares videos with her little ones.
Lavena has TikTok too, where shares mum hacks and playful videos with the little ones.

Two Emmerdale favourites rushed to hospital in horror emergency
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TWO Emmerdale favourites will be rushed to A&E after dramatic car scenes. Emmerdale viewers will be left stunned as two villagers are taken to hospital in a dramatic turn of events that no one saw coming. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Gabby goes on a diet to lose weight before her engagement party Credit: ITV 3 But her dangerous diet makes her faint and put another villager's life at risk Credit: ITV Next week on the ITV soap, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) risks it all as she faints behind the wheel of a car - but who is in the passenger seat? Determined to drop a few pounds before her big engagement bash, Gabby's all smug as the early days of her risky diet seem to pay off. But as the week goes on, the hunger games catch up - leaving her tired, cranky, and totally wiped out. In the run-up to her engagement party, Gabby ditches proper food and downs a mega quadruple black coffee - buzzing on caffeine but starving for real fuel. Later, she drags herself to the garage to check on her dodgy motor. Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) - who is recovering from major surgery - offers to join her for a spin to spot the fault. But, neither has a clue the terrifying drama that's about to hit the road. Actress Rosie teased: "Gabby wants this picture-perfect day, and her insecurities are coming out. "She starts crash dieting and drinking a hell of a lot of coffee, and putting exercise at the front of her mind. She takes things drastically. "It's a recipe for disaster. Gabby hasn't been eating so feels very tired and dizzy, and faints behind the wheel – which causes her to swerve." Emmerdale star makes shock return - after mysteriously disappearing months ago Sarah is forced to slam on the brakes and pull over quick, even though it could rip open her fresh stitches from her surgery. With both women in a bad way, they head to A&E - will they be okay? Rosie shared: "At the hospital Gabby is diagnosed with low blood sugar. "The women in her life tell her how ridiculous it is she's risking her health and her life for one day, one dress. Soap's most harrowing teen storylines We take a look at other harrowing teen soap storylines from soaps Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. Belle Dingle's schizophrenia in Emmerdale - Belle's (Eden Taylor-Draper) traumatic journey in Emmerdale took a dark turn when, after accidentally killing her best friend Gemma at just 16, her mental health began to spiral. The storyline, which saw Belle struggling with her grief and guilt, showcased her battle with hearing Gemma's voice inside her head, leading to a dramatic decline in her well-being. Hannah Ashworth's anorexia in Hollyoaks - Viewers were horrified as they watched Hannah (Emma Rigby), a seemingly innocent teen, spiral into dangerous behavior, starving herself in an attempt to achieve what she thought was the ideal body. As Hannah's condition worsened, the storyline became more intense, culminating in her being hospitalised for two months as she fought for her life. Bethany Platt's grooming ordeal in Coronation Street - Vulnerable schoolgirl, played by Lucy Fallon, was at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines to date when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator. The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her. Whitney Dean's abuse from Tony in EastEnders - Since the age of 12, she had been in a twisted relationship with her stepmum Bianca's boyfriend, Tony King. The predator had groomed young Whit (Shona McGarty), making her believe she was in love and planning to run away with him. On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years. "Then Vinny comes in and talks some sense into her. "It solidifies their desire to get married and put their priorities right." Will Gabby stop her irresponsible diet?

The comedian joked about a dumped islander returning - but it didn't go well. 'I'll be honest, it was, perhaps, a misjudgement by me'. Love Island wouldn't be the same without the wry commentary from Iain Stirling. In fact he is such a fixture that he is also pulling double duty this summer - and offering his witty narration on the American version. ITV2's iconic reality show has been such a hit since it debuted a decade ago that it has unsurprisingly led to plenty of spin-offs. It includes Love Island USA, which is now in its seventh season. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Iain Stirling took over narration duties for the show back in its fourth series - and has been a fan favourite. However one of his recent jokes did not go down well and he has had to apologise. But what exactly happened? Here's all you need to know: Love Island USA narrator apologises to fans over joke Love Island narrator (R) Iain Stirling |for MTV The action may have kicked-off in the Mallorca villa for the original ITV2 version of the show - but the American spin-off is also taking place at the same time. The Peacock series started in June and is continuing right now. Unlike the British version, it is filmed in Fiji instead of on a Spanish island. But it does have a familiar voice in the form of narrator Iain Stirling. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He is equally beloved for his witty comments and jokes about the islanders, but he ruffled feathers of fans with a fake-out recently. Stirling joked that beloved-but-dumped islander Jeremiah Brown was returning as a waiter for two other contestants who were on a date. Fans were not happy when this didn't turn out to be the case, as they were hopeful that he was about to make a comeback. Speaking to E! News, Iain said: 'I'll be honest, it was, perhaps, a misjudgement by me. 'I genuinely thought people would appreciate the nod to him, because we very rarely talk about it, but if you think about it, it's an unwritten rule that I never really joke about the islanders once they've gone. I'll maybe do a joke as they're leaving. So it's a big deal.' He continued: 'It was a genuine statement of love that I mentioned Jeremiah after he'd already left the show. I thought people would be, 'Oh, that's funny.' He was such an intrinsic part of the show. Some people did take it as such, and then some people sadly didn't, and I apologize to those people.'
