Former Love Island star Joanna Chimonides looks unrecognisable in new snap

Former Love Island star Joanna Chimonides looks unrecognisable from her days in the Spanish villa in a new snap on social media.

Posting a photo of her relaxing in a restaurant in London on Instagram, Joanna stunned her followers as she had completely overhauled her look since making her debut on the ITV2 dating show back in 2019.

Wearing casual leisurewear from the Boohoo Man collection, Joanna’s long blonde hair can be seen tumbling down her back - a stark change from the chic brunette bob she rocked in the villa.

“World of my own,” she captioned the snap.

“My forever friend,” fellow Love Island star Georgia Steele commented.

“Abs,” one follower wrote, referencing Joanna’s enviable figure that could be seen beneath her crop top.

“Stunner,” wrote another adoring fan.

The ex-recruitment consultant from London shot to fame after she arrived at Casa Amor and immediately stirred up trouble.

Joanna caught the wandering eye of Michael Griffiths, who was already coupled up with Amber Gill, and sparks flew as they got to know each other away from the main villa.

But viewers were gobsmacked when the lothario decided to couple up with Joanna when they returned from Casa Amor, leaving Amber heartbroken - and furious - after being betrayed.

Michael and Joanna’s romance was short-lived, as she was sent home in a shock dumping from the villa.

The couple found themselves in the bottom two alongside Anna Vakili and Jordan Hames following a public vote, and their fellow Islanders were told to pick one couple to save.

They opted for Anna and Jordan, but in another surprise twist, the Islanders were asked to save either Michael or Joanna.

When Joanna was handed her fate and told to get packing, she unleashed a furious tirade aimed at Michael, when he decided to stay in the villa and wouldn’t be leaving with her.

“If you found what you want then you better leave mate. But you clearly aren't so you're a f***ing snake,” she fired.
