Love Island stars who look unrecognisable after the villa…bombshell's bodybuilder transformation to shocking eye surgery
LOOKING for fortune, fame and occasionally romance, a steady stream of ultra glammed-up stars have graced our screens on Love Island over the past decade. And while some indulge in a few tweakments prior to heading into the villa, a shocking number have undergone dramatic transformations after leaving the show. 26 26 This week Love Island's first disabled contestant, Patsy Field, 30, revealed the jaw-dropping results of a cat eye facelift, which she had in a bid to 'feel prettier'. The Kent admin worker, who has Erb's Palsy, went under the knife in Turkey after becoming hypercritical of her appearance while trying to make it as a social media influencer. She admitted her first reaction on seeing the results of the "gifted procedure" was "what have I done?" and later said she "wouldn't recommend this" to her fans. Patsy said being on TV made her more self-conscious, and she was "egged on" to have the op because she's constantly looking at pictures of herself and had always had an "insecurity" about her eyes. She is far from the only Islander to be tempted by surgical 'enhancement' after the show - especially because, as one former star revealed, there's a 'daily influx' of emails from firms offering free surgery. Here we take a look at some of our ITV show alumni favourites who now look completely unrecognisable. Nicole Samuel Last year's Love Island runner-up Nicole Samuel looks noticeably different since her time in the villa. The Welsh beauty has been working hard in the gym and keeps fans up-to-date with her incredible transformation, recently showing off her toned frame in a barely-there swimsuit. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Daniel Barrett told MailOnline he believed Nicole had 'a little filler' and Botox. Unfortunately he believed the 'tweakments' had aged her, making her look 11 years older than she actually was, as he wrongly believed she was 35 instead of 24. Love Island's Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies hints at marriage just TWO months after leaving the villa 26 Additionally, since leaving the show, Nicole has had Emax Laminate Veneers from a firm in Turkey and still sports wrinkle-free skin and slightly plumped-up cheeks and lips. Millie Court 26 Series seven winner Millie Court was forced to deny having a boob job after fans confused her 2st weight gain for going under the knife. The 29-year-old went up two dress sizes from a size 6 to a 10 after leaving the villa and said she was lucky the weight "goes to all the right places". She added: "It goes to my bum and boobs mainly, so my boobs are really big at the moment". Last year Millie, who has been getting lip filler since she was 17, spoke about having clearer skin after battling with acne flare-ups for years. The former fashion buyer said she planned to have micro-needling - which smooths the skin by using small needles to increase collagen production - to mask her acne scars. Millie, is still dating her Love Island partner Liam Reardon from 2021 - they split in July 2022 but got back together in April 2023 - also switched her signature peroxide blonde locks for a darker shade. Lavena Back 26 Flash in the pan Love Island star Lavena Back vowed to 'steal the other girls' men' when she entered as a Casa Amor bombshell in 2019. While she was booted off just days later, after failing to win over any of the boys, she's now turning heads for another reason. Lavena, 29, is now a bodybuilder, who just this week revealed she finished runner-up in a competition in a post flaunting her slim, muscular frame and natural curls. While she didn't walk away with a trophy, the mum-of-two, who tied the knot two years ago, said the 'journey lit a fire in me' online, hinting she will be returning for more. Tyne-Lexy Clarson 26 Post her 2017 show appearance, Tyne-Lexy Clarkson claimed she had a 'daily influx' of emails offering free cosmetic procedures from firms desperate for publicity. Later she would claim to be 'too scared' to have plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures due to fearing needles so badly she would 'faint at a blood test'. However last year fans were double-taking after seeing snaps of the Brummie bombshell, 28, looking unrecognisable on a Majorca holiday. Tyne-Lexy hasn't addressed whether she's had any procedures done but has spoken about lifestyle changes and taking supplements. Back in 2018 she shed a stone and dropped two dress sizes in six weeks, admitting she "let herself go' after the show when she went back to university. She also spoke about having clearer skin thanks to a herbal supplement after suffering acute acne breakouts on-and-off for years, which left her 'really depressed'. Harley Judge 26 26 In arguably one of the most dramatic post-villa transformations, Harley Judge is now a man mountain. The bodybuilding gym fanatic, who has gained a whopping 30kg of muscle, has participated in multiple competitions. He previously said he was "absolutely gutted" to be the first person voted off Love Island in 2017. Harley recalled working out five times a week and spending "half my life hungover" prior to the show, revealing he would go out drinking multiple times a week before he "broke the cycle". Harry Young 26 Glaswegian Harry Young was the first Islander to be recruited through the dating app Tinder - and said he applied because he "didn't have the chance to date' during the pandemic. He was among the mass culling of contestants four days into his stint when six were kicked off in an especially cut-throat episode in 2021. Six months on from his TV appearance fans said the car salesman, 28, was unrecognisable after switching his quiffed flowing hair for a sharp fade with a flat fringe. The transformation became apparent after he shared a selfie on Instagram, captioned: 'Ring light making eyes go mad,' showing off his brightly coloured irises. Jess White 26 26 26 No-nonsense northerner Jess White debuted a striking new look in August last year, not long after departing the villa. Rather than her usual slicked-back look, Jess, 26, framed her face with new thick bangs and had layers sliced into her glossy locks, leading some fans to brand her unrecognisable. She's since gone a step further and lightened her do, adding blonde highlights. Jess has also been open on social media about having filler in her lips. Faye Winter 26 26 Since leaving the villa in 2021, Faye Winter has gone in the opposite direction to most Love Islanders by undoing cosmetic treatments she'd previously had. She also shed nearly two stone, which she put on during the show due to 'sitting around eating' all of the time. Upon leaving the show, Faye had her lip filler completely dissolved, which she admitted was a 'shock to the system' because she believed it made her teeth and nose look bigger. Later, in an emotional plea to dissuade others from experimenting with injectables, the Exeter stunner, 30, told fans: 'I've ruined my face through over-filling and not getting the correct advice.' Sharing snaps of her 'lumpy' lips, Faye admitted having had 4ml of filler injected and admitted to being 'full of embarrassment and regret' seeing snaps of herself back on the show. Two years on from the emotional posts, she hasn't addressed whether she's continued to undergo cosmetic procedures but her lips appear plumper again in recent snaps. Olivia Attwood 26 Olivia Attwood has never shied away from spilling the tea on all of her nips, tucks and 'tweakments'. But in recent years she's exposed the problems of appearance-altering ops and has openly recognised her own fixation on them, which started from a young age and led her on a 'dangerous road to nowhere'. Two years on from leaving the villa in 2019, she spent £2,500 on chin liposuction and contouring and revealed she had been having fillers for six years. She had them dissolved after realising she had gone 'too far' and noticing her lip had 'come out of the lip line and started to look really puffy'. That same year Olivia had breast reduction surgery, having first had giant implants inspired by Katie Price and Jodie Marsh when she was 19 years old. She told Heat magazine: 'They were really heavy and too big for my body, so I was starting to get some really bad aching. 'I can't wait to be able to wear more clothes now without my boobs falling out, putting people off their dinner.' Last year, Olivia - who is a fan of a slightly more natural look now - launched her ITV2 docuseries The Price of Perfection, which follows people undergoing drastic transformations. Inspired by her own body-altering mishaps, she said: 'I think what I've learned - and a lot of people have learned - is that with our bodies, we've got to be so careful not to follow fashion.'

Love Island star moving to Australia over 'embarrasment' at normal job in UK
The former islander says that she has become more self conscious after growing an audience on social media and thinks it would be easier to get a '9 to 5' Down Under Love Island alum Patsy Field has a big change coming up, and it's not a stint on another reality show or a brand deal. Instead, the 2023 contestant is heading Down Under, admitting she feels "too embarrassed" to go back to a regular 9-to-5 job in the UK. A year after her brief stint in the Love Island villa, Patsy has shared some reflections on what her life is like after a stint on telly and the difficulties she has come up against while readjusting to everyday life outside of the spotlight. She told The Sun that she feels the need to move to a different continent, explaining: "I probably will be looking for a job soon, but I'm planning on moving to Australia. A year post-show… I don't know if it comes with a little bit of embarrassment of looking for a normal 9-to-5 job. So I feel like if I move to the other side of the world and maybe find one over there, I might feel a bit better about it." Despite building up a strong social media following after being dumped just two weeks into the ITV dating show, Patsy has admitted she doesn't see herself as a traditional influencer, jokingly referring to herself as "fun-employed" instead. Patsy is hoping that it will be easier to restart her career in Australia, far away from the expectations that come with being a former islander. "I'll just have a look on Indeed in Australia and see what's going on. I used to work in administration, so I wouldn't mind doing that again… if they'll take me back into that industry," she added. One of the reasons she wants to move away is because of the pressures she has faced while trying to keep up with new fans on social media. She admitted: "In a normal 9-to-5 job, the only people who know how you're doing are your boss and some colleagues. But with social media, it's the whole world. You see how many views, how many likes, and people comment on your performance. That anxiety… I wouldn't mind being away from that." The beauty from Kent is pragmatic about the levels of success she expected after being featured on Love Island, and said she never aimed to become "the next Molly-Mae". She is also realistic about how long cast members will actually receive public attention for. "All the new Love Islanders come out and then the spotlight moves on. That's just how it is," she shrugged. However, after noticing herself start to become self-conscious about her disability again in Instagram posts after gaining more followers, Patsy is ready to go back to living more of an attention-free life. She added: "I just think doing that in Australia, far away from all the Love Island expectations, might just feel a little easier." Patsy's explanation of her experience as a former islander has come as Maya Jama hit back at recent claims that producers are too involved in what happens in the villa. During a recent appearance on The Chunkz Show she defended the real-life element of Love Island, saying: "The most they can do is encourage them to have a little chat, but it has to be real because it's reality." Maya explained that even she doesn't find out who gets dumped until the last possible second, adding: "Literally as I say it, I find out one second before anyone else."

Patsy also spoke about body confidence and how her appearance on the show impacted how she feels about her disability.

She recently noticed herself starting to hide her arm again in photos, something she hadn't done during her time on the show. It's a reminder of the pressure to maintain a certain image online — and another reason she's considering stepping away from the influencer space. As she prepares for her next chapter, Patsy says she's ready for a change. 'I'm quite happy to go back to a normal job at some point. I just think doing that in Australia, far away from all the Love Island expectations, might just feel a little easier.'
