Love Island series two star unrecognisable as he celebrates first Christmas with new wife
A LOVE Island star looked unrecognisable while celebrating his first Christmas as a married man.
Javi Shephard was only in series two of the ITV dating show for a matter of days before he became the first star to get dumped with the villa.
The 32-year-old clashed with Scott Thomas as they ended up fighting over the same girl.
Javi showed interest in Kady McDermott as soon as she arrived on Love Island, but his pal beat him to the pull and the pair snogged after she told him: "Javi's too nice for me."
After failing to hit it off with any of the other girls, he begged Zara Holland to couple up with him so he could stay on the show.
Sadly she chose Daniel Lukakis instead and he was sent packing.

It seems this was for the best in the end as the reality star shared that the dramatic environment in the villa wasn't right for him after exiting the show.
He told : "I’m chilled in the real world, I meditate and love life! The pettiness and fake characters in there wasn’t what I wanted to experience.
"I’m all up for fun, adventure and to actually find the right girl, the money was never the goal."
He also managed to find love without the programme, and is now happily married to his wife Amy.

He captioned the photo: "FIRST CHRISTMAS AS THE SHEPHARDS. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL."
While on the reality show he had long floppy hair and a well trimmed beard.
Now he looks completely different, as he wore his hair slicked back with gel but sported a huge biblical beard.
