Love Island’s Kendall Rae-Knight looks unrecognisable on the beach in new bikini shot

LOVE Island star Kendall Rae-Knight has stunned fans with a new snap of her looking unrecognisable in a bikini on holiday.

The reality TV alum - who rose to fame on the ITV2 dating show in 2018 - stunned in the tiny swimwear as she posed under a palm tree.

Former beauty queen Kendall, 29, was the first girl to be evicted from the villa in her series of Love Island, after she was dumped by Adam Collard.

The Miss England finalist has since found happiness with new beau and footballer Andrew Hughes, who she headed to the Caribbean with this week.

The brunette beauty took to Instagram to pose in a number of holiday snaps, including one bikini close up where she donned the white swimwear.

Looking glamorous, she appeared to have donned a full face of make-up for her beach club outing, tying her hair up into a messy bun.

"Sweet escape," Kendall captioned the post, which saw her perched on the end of a sunbed next to a bright pink coloured cocktail.

A second follow-up shot saw her in a darker coloured bikini, brightly-printed trousers and holding onto a designer bag outside her hotel room.

Kendall looks to have been hitting the gym, as she shwoed off her incredible toned middle and natural curves in the collection of pictures.

Fans went wild over the holiday snaps, and took to the comments to brand the Love Island star "so pretty" and "totally gorgeous".

Last year, Kendall went public with her new footballer boyfriend, Andrew Hughes.

Wearing a figure-hugging pale pink dress and high heels, Kendall placed her hand on Andrew's torso as he wrapped an arm around her waist as they posed.

She captioned the sweet Instagram snap: "He got me. We’ve had the longest run at keeping us private but here I am ruining it!

"Thanks for making me the happiest I’ve ever felt and also irritating me for what feels like forever.. don’t worry I plan on being just as annoying for the foreseeable future."

Kendall was immediately congratulated by her Love Island co-stars, with Hayley Hughes writing: "Yay finally!!! So happy for u", while Ellie Brown shared dozens of loved up emojis.

Kendall went on Love Island after having her heart broken by ex-fiance Michael Clark, who dumped her just three months after proposing.

The former beauty queen, who hails from Blackpool, was with "soulmate" Michael for five years by the time he popped the question but the engagement only lasted 12 weeks.

He proposed on the beach at sunset during a romantic break in the Dominican Republic but three months later she was forced to move out of the home they shared and find her own place.

In a poignant post on Instagram following the end of her engagement, Kendall shared: "Everything is going to be alright.

"Maybe not today, or tomorrow, or even a month from now. But eventually, everything will fall into place and you'll find that peace and happiness you deserve."
