Love Island legend Sharon Gaffka stuns in see-through dress at Miss Universe pageant
LOVE Island legend Sharon Gaffka looked incredible as she took to the stage at Miss Universe.
The 27-year-old, who appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2021, recently took part in the pageant.
Back in May Sharon revealed that she was competing for Miss Universe Great Britain and said she is proud to take part because it “holds a special place in her life”.
Over the weekend the star shared bits from the competition on social media.
Sharon was all smiles as she posed on stage in a green cut out diamante dress.
Despite her best efforts it was Jessica Page who was crowned winner.
Sharon has previously enjoyed beauty pageant success in her teens – but it came at a cost.
The Sun previously revealed that she “wasn’t taken seriously” in her civil servant job, because she was “always off doing beauty pageants”.
Before the show, Sharon worked in the corporate sector as the Department for Transport operations manager.
But Sharon’s passion for beauty pageants left her colleagues unimpressed, and she was “looked down on” by her co-workers.
A source told us at the time: “Sharon was a lovely girl to work with but she wasn’t really taken seriously by the rest of the team.
“She was always off to do her beauty pageants and colleagues would take the mickey and look down on her.
“They didn’t think that she fitted in with the corporate world – especially a government job – and they’d often make comments about it.”
Sharon’s beauty pageant past is no secret, and she was regularly crowned queen at many of the competitions she took part in.
An old photo showed the Islander looking fresh-faced after she won the Miss Crown & Glory UK in 2014.
She also won Miss International UK 2018, and even had the same pageant director as former Love Island favourite Molly-Mae Hague.
