Love Island star looks unrecognisable five years after appearing on show
A LOVE Island star looks worlds away from their appearance on the ITV2 show five years later.
The former reality show contestant shot to fame when she first entered the villa in 2018 and coupled up with Dr Alex George.
Now, 5 years later Grace Wardle looks unrecognisable as she posed for an adorable selfie with her partner in the countryside in her latest Instagram post.
These days she rocks a short pink bob and lives a quiet life with her boyfriend and their adorable pooch Ralph.
She captioned the sweet post: “Heart and belly well and truly full.”
Unlike many of her Love Island co-stars, Grace hasn’t pursued a life in the spotlight and instead returned to working as a hairdresser.
Before she entered the villa Grace said of her type: “I don’t think I can say. I can’t put my finger on it and usually can’t until I have met and been around someone.
“I’m 25 and it would be nice to meet someone that wanted something long term. Until we gel though, I can’t really say what I want. I’m quite open minded.”
Following her brief time on the show Grace opened up about being subjected to cruel comments from social media trolls over her Love Island promo shot.
Grace said: “I was a bit upset by the photos that they decided to put forward because I’m pretty sure there were nicer ones and they chose the worst ones.
“So when I came out and I saw the memes I thought ‘OK, that’s making me feel a bit s***’.
“But at the same time I know myself that’s not what I look like.”
Before taking part in the show Grace worked at her own salon – Head Masters in Crystal Palace – and it didn’t take long for her to return.
