Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips made her return to social media with a very glamorous snap following her villa exit.
The stunning Essex-native, who has largely been silent on Instagram since she was sent packing from the show, sent her online followers wild when she posted the smouldering selfie on Wednesday evening.
In the snap, she sported Hollywood curls, a sun-kissed glow and fake eyelashes as she thanked her fans for the “overwhelming support”.
She covered her modesty with a silky black dressing gown.

Writing to her 1.2million followers, she explained her Love Island appearance was “opportunity of a lifetime” and she “can’t wait to start the next chapter of my journey”.
She began: “I have been so scared to do my first post, but mainly because I have been so completely overwhelmed by all the amazing love and support I have received both in the villa, and since I’ve been back.
“Can I first just say thank you from the very bottom of my heart to everyone who has spent their time watching my journey, and reaching out with support, it means more than you’ll ever know!
The bombshell admitted she was ‘overwhelmed’ with support she has received since leaving the villa
“It is a very surreal world I am living in right now, I am just your average everyday girl who was lucky enough to be offered the opportunity of a lifetime, and I will forever be grateful.
“If I have learnt anything from my time in the villa, and from the reception, I’ve received since leaving, it is that being yourself will always be enough.
“I can’t wait to start the next chapter of my journey with you all, and once again, thank you all so much. I love you!”

Shaughna coupled with Callum Jones on the first day of the winter Love Island, and things were going swimmingly for the duo.
However, their romance hit the skids when the scaffolders decided to pair with newbie Molly Smith during the Casa Amor twist in the show.
Despite not finding romance on the show, Shaughna admitted she’s found a lasting friendship with new gal pal Paige Turley.
