Love Island stars are catapulted to fame as soon as they step foot inside the famous villa.
The group of sexy singletons are watched by millions of viewers each night and become household names over the course of the eight-week series.
While some cast members are unfamiliar with the world of showbiz before joining the reality show, others seem to have had a taste of life in front of the camera beforehand.

Love Island 2022 star Tasha looks stunning as she poses with a baby bump in modelling snaps before finding fame on the show.
The blonde beauty posed for photographs for a well-known fashion retailer.
In one picture for ASOS Maternity, Tasha can be seen wearing a cold shoulder plunge mini dress in beige.
She styled her trademark tresses in loose waves and completed her look with an oversized clutch bag and a pair of white sandals.

Like Tasha, former Islander Arabella has also posed for glam snaps sporting a baby bump as part of a ASOS Maternity photoshoot.
The 2019 star can be seen wearing a pink minidress as she poses up a storm for the camera.
In another snap, Arabella can be seen wearing a floaty light blue with a tie detail place on top of the bump.
Liam Reardon
Liam was crowned the winner of the 2021 series alongside girlfriend Millie Court.
However, the Welsh hunk knew all bout what the ‘big day’ was like before joining the cast of the dating show.
He was seen getting suited and booted for a romantic wedding photoshoot last year.
Liam can be seen looking seriously dapper in the professional shots for Carolyn Louise Weddings.
As well as being shared on a range of Instagram accounts, Liam took to his own Instagram page to upload a series of his favourite shots from the shoot.
Shannon Singh

Shannon was the first contestant to be given the boot from the Love Island villa in the 2021 series.
She was already a familiar face to some viewers due to her career as a glamour model.
As a Page 3 girl, Shannon decided to go by the pseudonym “Ruby”.
Though Shannon was scouted aged 18, it was her mum who encouraged her to do Page 3, and her dad used to work as a stripper.

Danny modelled for River Island before entering the villa back in 2019.
The star can be seen posing in a series of different outfits on the retailer’s website.
However, all fans are going to see of Danny are his pecs as the shop has cut off his head in every single photograph.
Despite only around three quarters of his body making it in the modelling world, Danny bragged about his career to the girls in the villa.

Lucie shot to fame on Love Island back in 2019 but she had a taste of stardom before appearing on the show.
Taken in 2017 for the launch of boho jewellery brand Bloody Mary Metal, the pretty up-close snaps were taken for the brand’s official website.
Fresh faced Lucy looks the epitome of surfer chic in the stunning snaps.
The blonde beauty also appeared in Wed, High Tide and Coast magazine before joining the cast of Love Island
Jamie Jewitt
Love Island fans were sent into meltdown when Jamie’s Calvin Klein modelling shots came to light when he was inside the villa back in 2017.
Fans flocked to his Instagram account to take a look at pictures of him in his underwear.
Jamie spent a decade as a male model in New York before appearing on the reality show.
Early in his career as a model, Jamie stripped off for famous fashion designer Tom Ford for a series of raunchy adverts to promote one of his perfumes.
The pictures see a naked Jamie romp with a female model and pose suggestively together in a swimming pool, though the two models are covered up to protect their modesty.
In other pictures brave Jamie let it all hang out for a series of magazine shoots and underwear adverts.
Love Island airs nightly on ITV2 and ITV Hub at 9pm
