Love Island's Claudia Fogarty left devastated as brazen thieves break into her car

Love Island beauty Claudio Fogarty found her car’s windows had been smashed while she was on a night out.

The reality star, 28, posted a pic of her black SUV with its front and back windows caved in along with the caption “happy Friday.”

She is spending the weekend with fellow Islander Samie Elishi, 22, who appeared alongside her in a video posted the next day.

In it, Claudia says: “So, I went to put on my make-up this morning and realised my make-up bag was... in the car. So now I have no make-up and no car!' she said.

Samie says: “But you have make-up.”

Claudia responds: “Yeah, I borrowed some off Samie.”

She then explained that Samie had joined a Fogarty family road trip to pick up a replacement Porsche for her to drive.

Her dad Carl, 57, found fame as a motorbike racer before later appearing on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

While her sister Danielle, 31, previously dated Carl's I'm A Celeb co-star, Jake Quickenden.

Claudia said: “But the good news is that we are on our way with Danielle and Dad.

"Me and Dannielle are being gifted a Porsche, it couldn't have come at a better time - so we'll have that for a few days.

"We're going to have lots of fun this weekend."

Her positive mindset spilled into her Instagram Stories where she mused, “Every cloud has a silver lining. might not have make-up or a car but I'm on my way to @porschecentresouthlakes to pick up a car for a few days.”

Later she posted a snap of a £72,000 red Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo and a similar grey motor, and asked: “Who's is who’s?”

Claudia entered the villa on day 23 of the most recent series of Love Island but was subsequently dumped on day 45 alongside Keanan Brand after the pair were evicted by Maxwell and Olivia.

Before going to South Africa to star in the show, she didn't want to become the typical influencer and follow in the footsteps of other previous Islanders.

Ahead of entering the villa, Claudia struggled with her body image and initially rejected the offer from ITV bosses several years ago due to not feeling secure enough.

But now, she's more comfortable in her skin than ever before and believes the show is rapidly becoming more inclusive as they showcase a different variety of bodies.

She told The Mirror: "I'm not going to compare myself to people as much as I used to and it's nice to see people there that have got different shapes.

"Not everybody is the same size and it's nice to see that but knowing you're going to be in a bikini all day every day with millions of people watching you on TV, you are always thinking about that as well.

"I wanted to come out and follow my journey and get to grips with what I want to do," she added before going on to explain: "Fitness has always been a big thing for me and battling with my weight from time to time so I think it's good to come out there and be a little bit of an inspiration to people, hopefully."
