Love Island star Matilda Draper sizzles in a skimpy black bikini as she soaks up the sun in Greece with boyfriend Roman Hackett
Matilda Draper looked sensational in a skimpy black bikini while cosying up to boyfriend Roman Hackett on holiday together. The Love Island star, 24, and her TOWIE personality partner, 22, shared snaps from a sun-soaked week away Rhodes, Greece, where they enjoyed a lavish boat trip. And the couple looked as loved-up as ever as they shared a kiss and hug on the plush boat. Matilda, who entered the Love Island villa last year as a bombshell, put on a busty display in a black bikini which showed off her toned physique for the outing. She sent temperatures soaring as she posed in the two piece, which she accessorised with bracelets on her left wrist and a stylish pair of black sunglasses. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The 24-year-old captioned the post: 'Boat attire.' Other pictures shared during Roman and Matilda's week away together revealed that they had jetted off to Greece with fellow season 11 islander Jess Spencer and her boyfriend Braydon Hackett - Roman's cousin. Jess and Matilda struck up a friendship on the show last summer and have remained besties on the outside. While Jess was in a couple with Ayo Odukoya during series 11, Matilda had been coupled with sweet-shop owner Sean Stone. During the first episode of her new podcast with Roman this week, titled Raw and Reality, the reality TV star opened up on her time in the villa and with Sean. Roman read out a question from a fan: 'Do you ever get icked out that Sean existed with Matilda?,' before the couple burst into laughter. Matilda later added: 'That's such a juicy one! 'I think that when you're in Love Island you're in a bubble and I sort of went in there and didn't massively fancy anyone to be completely honest. Her and Roman looked as loved up as ever while soaking in the Greek sunshine 'When I was in there my options were sort of Omar and Sean, but me and Omar didn't get the chance to speak in there really - we kept getting pulled apart. 'You then have to work with what you've got and Sean was a lovely guy and we got on well, but in my head I always think of us as being friends rather than being romantic. 'So when I got out I knew it was definitely a friend thing,' as Roman again burst into laughter.' While playing a game of 'say it or shot it', Matilda was also asked whether she 'actually liked' Sean, which she refused to answer. The opening episode of their new podcast sparked backlash from supporters however, with some claiming Matilda 'used' Sean during her time on Love Island.
