Dani Dyer has admitted she doesn't catch up with her Love Island co-stars much since becoming a mother last year.
The star - who won the ITV2 series with ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham in 2018 - has explained how becoming a parent "changes your lifestyle" and doesn't leave her with much free time to hang out with her old pals.
Despite her admission, Dani expressed an interest in reunite with her former housemates once again in the future, and took the time to champion former co-star Samira Mighty 's music career.
Dani - actor Danny Dyer 's eldest child - became a household name thanks to Love Island, and even enjoyed an almost one-year romance with fellow winner Jack upon returning home to England following their victory.
Their season of Love Island also included Megan Barton Hanson, Dr Alex George, Laura Anderson, Wes Nelson and many more making appearances in the famous Spanish villa throughout the duration of the series.
Taking to social media on Saturday [July 23], Dani caught up with her 3.6million followers during a candid Q&A on her Instagram Stories.
"I know well being a mum changed life, so do you still meet up with any Islanders?" one fan took the chance to ask the star.
Replying honestly, Dani wrote: "I wish I met up with them as much as I did before! I think when you become a mum your lifestyle really does change and also everybody is so busy doing their own things."
"But they all hold such a special place in my heart. We had the best summer and one day would love to reunite and see everyone [love-heart emoji]."
Following her split from Jack in April 2019, Dani reunited with old flame Sammy Kimmence - who is the father of her 18-month-old son, Santiago.
The reality TV star parted ways with conman Sammy last year, after she discovered the full extent of his crimes when he was sentenced to three years in jail in July.
Sammy - whose crimes include posing as an investor and scamming pensioners out of thousands of pounds of their savings - had previously played down his offences to Dani prior to everything being revealed in court.
Dani is now loved up with West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen, after confirming their romance at the start of this year.
Elsewhere in her reply to fans online on Saturday, Dani took the chance to share a throwback snap with one of her old co-stars and praise their recent career developments.
Captioning a picture of herself alongside fellow 2018 Love Island alumna Samira enjoying a night out together in the past, Dani told her Instagram followers: "So proud of @samiramighty and her new song. If you haven't listened I suggest you do so."
Samira released her debut single I Love Your Smile with producer collective W.D.C earlier this month, and on Friday celebrated her record getting played on BBC Radio 1.
"OMG!!! ‘I Love Your Smile’ just had its very first play on @bbcradio1 ! Thank you so much @realscottmills @chrisstark - LEGENDS," the singer excitedly told her Instagram followers.
