Love Island’s most dramatic glow ups – from bleached brows to hair transformations

LOVE Island 2022 contained some of the hottest contestants yet – and ever since they returned from the Mallorca villa, they’ve only sent temperatures soaring further. 

With megabucks brand deals winging their way to them, the already naturally stunning stars of the summer dating series have all had a glow-up, gaining new wardrobes, new looks and new styles as they become celebrities. 

As Winter Love Island kicks off this week, we take a look back at the stars and their incredible transformations in the months since their time on the ITV2 series.

The show’s first ever deaf contestant, Tasha was widely praised for spreading awareness on her “superpower”, educating fans since on cochlear implants and BSL.

But her confidence is her biggest transformation since the villa – becoming a sizzling model for Ann Summers, L’Oreal Paris and eBay, and taking centre stage on red carpets.

She’s admitted to having lip filler in order to get her pout as perfect as she pictured.

The couple also have matching tattoos, and have been travelling the world together.

Summer certainly caused trouble on the villa as she entered the show in Casa Amor, coupling up with Dami Hope when he was originally partnered with Indiyah Polack.

She was dumped on day 44 after landing in the bottom of a viewer vote, with the boys ultimately making the decision to boot her.

Since then, she has been working with brands FashionNova, PrettyLittleThing and Ego.

(She’s also taking swipes on podcasts, causing a fight with Indiyah who is now back with Dami.)

Eventually, they placed third in the finale and are still together.

Indiyah has been going from strength-to-strength ever since, working as an ambassador for PrettyLittleThing and launching their Marketplace service, Boots Beauty, and

Now, she’s returning to the Love Island world alongside Sam Thompson as the host of The Morning After official podcast, and will appear with Maya Jama on Aftersun.

Paige Thorne had a difficult time in the villa, pairing up with Jacques O’Neill who later left the series of his own volition after seeing Adam Collard express interest.

She did later couple up with Adam, and after they were dumped from the villa they continued their relationship in the outside world.

But they split at the end of October after Adam was seen with his arms around another girl on a night out.

Since then, Paige has been focusing on herself, sunning herself up on beach breaks and giving up booze after “struggling” after her break-up.

Professionally, she’s become an ambassador for Age UK.
