Zara Holland took part in the second season of Love Island all the way back in 2016.
The former model's time on the show was short-lived though, as she chose to leave the villa on day 22 after being informed that her mum was ill.
An ITV statement at the time said: "Owing to an illness in the family, Zara Holland has left the Love Island villa to return to the UK. Our thoughts are with her and her family and we send all of our best wishes.”
But despite her short time on the show, Zara made quite the impression. The former Miss Great Britain was famously stripped of her title after she had sex with Alex Bowen on the show.

Since leaving the show, Zara has criticised Love Island, telling the Daily Mail: “You think you're on a summer holiday and you might find love, but you are in a posh prison where you don't know what time it is and a voice in a wall tells you what to do.
“I honestly believe I was brainwashed.”
It’s now been six years since Zara’s stint on the series, her life since has been full of successes, but the former Love Island star also hasn’t been able to stay clear of controversy, here’s what she’s been up to.
Fined for breaching Covid rules in Barbados
Zara has been keeping a relatively low profile recently after she was fined last year for breaching Covid rules in Barbados.
Zara took the trip to Barbados with her partner Elliot Love over the Christmas period. The pair flew out on December 27.
Regulations at the time required people to quarantine in their hotels for a few days until they could be cleared after taking two Covid tests.
When Elliot tested positive for Covid after arriving in the country, the couple tried to leave the Island instead of remaining in isolation at their hotel, but authorities caught up with Zara at the airport.
She later appeared in court in Barbados and pleaded guilty to breaching Covid-19 Directive No 4.
Her breach of the rules meant that she was facing a possible prison sentence, but she was let off with a £4,417 fine instead.
Zara took a break from social media after her fine, but she returned to Instagram in March 2021.
Engaged to long-term boyfriend
This year, however, Zara’s life has taken a more positive turn as she got engaged to long-term boyfriend Elliot Love.
Zara met Elliot shortly after she left Love Island and the pair have been dating for six years.
Elliot proposed while the lovebirds were on a romantic getaway in Dubai in January.
But Zara kept the details of their engagement hidden until April, when she revealed to her Instagram followers that they were planning their wedding.
Speaking about their engagement, a source told The Sun: "Zara is over the moon, the couple are smitten with each other and are already planning a stunning wedding.”
What does Zara Holland do now?
Zara now runs a fashion boutique with her mum, Cheryl, called Mimi Boutique.
The boutique was founded in 2009 and now has two stores in Hessle and Beverly, East Yorkshire.
They also sell their women’s clothing and accessories online and Zara is regularly sharing pictures of herself wearing colourful items from her boutique.
