Love Island star Katie Salmon has turned to God after flashing her boobs at Cheltenham Festival.
The 28-year-old reality star earned herself an alleged “lifetime ban” from the annual races in 2016 when she and former Love Island winner Jessica Hayes bared their breasts at the event, which is back this week. The pair shocked race-goers when they popped out their assets in front of the cameras.
Katie defended her X-rated antics at the time, asking the public: “have you guys not seen a nipple before?”. She also flogged racy snaps on OnlyFans and once got questioned by police following an alleged fight that put her in hospital.

But now, the TV star has ditched her rowdy lifestyle and has become a born-again Christian. Last year, she announced to fans on Instagram that she’d been baptised in July after reaching her “breaking point”.

The Love Island star had a rough year in 2023, having battled post-natal depression following the birth of her daughter Thiaga. She also split from her fiancé Harry just six months after Thiaga was born.
Alongside a series of racy snaps, she revealed she’d found God who she says ‘loves her for who she is’. She said: “3 months since I was baptised… From being at breaking point in my life to finding hope and peace in the storm I won’t stop speaking his name or what he’s done with my life.

“God is my saviour and in a world that’s dark, covered with evil people and pain I want every soul to know theirs a way out, whether you understand it or not. Theirs hope and glory in his name.
“I want to make clear this isn’t a post or trend to say how God stopped me dressing provocatively, exposing my body online or covering my face in makeup. He didn’t stop me doing anything, he simply loved me just for who I am and made me look at myself the way he looks at me.

“I found a relationship with the Lord himself not a religion but a deeper meaningful relationship. I want to honour him, his word and his people.”
She continued: “Everything has changed inside and around me so my posts may have changed. My look, my bank balance and my clothing BUT I am more me than ever before.
‘Even on days I don’t know what’s coming or why things are happening in this world, I will praise you for you never leave me and always love me even when am wrong. Thank you Jesus [sic]”.
Katie made Love Island history in 2016 by pairing up with the late Sophie Graydon. They were the first same-sex couple on the ITV dating show.
