Love Island star looks completely different after reinventing himself as a serious model

Love Island’s Jordan Hames is nearly unrecognisable in a photo posted on his pal Dom Lever’s Instagram stories.

The reality TV stars were in London last night to attend Sky’s Next Up event at the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden.

But Jordan – who appeared on the ITV dating show back in 2019 – looks totally different these days.

Gone is the blonde hair he sported on the show and he is no longer clean shaven and baby faced.

Instead the 27-year-old, who now works as a model, has embraced his natural hair colour, grown a beard and rocks a high fashion look now.

On the way to the star-studded event, Dom shared a series of snaps on Instagram with his 694,000 followers.

He is now married to Jess Shears, who he met on Love Island back in 2017.

Jess is currently pregnant with their second child, due this summer. They already have a two-year-old son called Presley.

The couple travelled up to London from their home in Devon, where Jess is originally from.

Dom shared a photo of him and Jess waiting at a train station with the caption ‘London bound’.

A few hours later he posted another shot of them dressed up for the night, writing: “Quick change and we out.”

Dom wore a smart white shirt, dark trousers and beige blazer, while Jess looked summery in a black and white polka dot mini dress.

Giving fans a glimpse inside the event, the camera then cut to his pal Jordan who smiled and flashed a peace sign.

The next morning the expectant parents decided to have a jaunt around the capital while they were in town.

Posting a sweet family snap to his Instagram stories, he wrote: “Mum, dad and bump exploring.”

In another snap as Jess looked on her phone – possibly for directions - Dom said: “Not a clue where we’re going.”

Dom and Jess are one of Love Island’s biggest success stories so far and have been together since meeting on the show.

The pair caught each other's eye after Jess walked in as the first week bombshell.

Dom went on to stray from partner Montana Brown to couple up with Jess and the pair have not looked back since.

A year after their season of Love Island , which was won by Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies, the pair tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Mykonos.

The following year the lovebirds welcomed their a baby boy together, whose name they chose to keep private at first.
