Love Island star looks unrecognisable in throwback snap as she’s separated from her family for Easter
A LOVE Island star has been spotted looking unrecognisable in a throwback snap, after being separated from her family.
The reality TV runner-up took to her Instagram to pose alongside her siblings in a series of photos from her childhood.
Australian native Jessie, 26, recently jetted off to the UK after starring in the latest winter series of Love Island.
She and her beau Will Young returned to his farm to live together, instead of the influencer heading back to her home Down Under.
As she celebrates Easter in the UK this weekend, the TV star took to her Instagram with a series of childhood throwback snaps.
Jessie encouraged to “give her family a hug” today as she appeared upset she was not “able to be with them” on Good Friday.
Showing two snaps of herself with her siblings, Jessie could be seen looking very different in the childhood snaps.
In one, the star posed in an orange jumper next to her sister Rachel and brother Brick, as they smiled together.
While a second saw her and Brick sharing a cuddle on the sofa, as she cheekily smiled for the camera in the snaps.
“Good Friday was one of my favourite days growing up as a kid,” Jessie penned to her Instagram fans. “Happy Easter everyone.
“Give your family a hug if you’re able to be with them today.”
It comes after Jessie revealed when she will be returning home to Australia – and that she won’t be going there alone.
Speaking exclusively to the Sun, she says: “I am looking to go back to Australia at the end of May because I think that’s when my visa is until.
“Will might be coming with me, which is really exciting, and then we’re going to look at what other types of visas I can have when I get back over here.
“I do see myself long-term in the UK, if Will doesn’t enjoy Australia too much. Everyone I know from the UK has been saying Will’s going to love Australia, so I’m concerned.”
Jessie’s been away from her family since the turn of the year, save for when she was visited in the South African mansion by her mum and sister.
Fortunately, she’s been warmly accepted into the Young family, which has helped to massively reduce her homesickness.
“I feel if I hadn’t gone back to the farm it might have been too overwhelming coming straight into a new country, the hustle and bustle,” she added.
“I know it’s different. It’s not the typical Love Island setting, but we’re so happy with how it’s worked out.
“There have been periods where I’ve felt so homesick, but Will and his family have been so comforting for me. I’d be lost without them, they’re so lovely.”
