Samie Elishi has jetted off to the Maldives for a relaxing getaway just weeks after undergoing thyroid surgery.
The former Love Island finalist, 23, shocked fans after sharing that she found a lump in her throat and became concerned that it could be a cancerous tumour.
She later revealed that the lump was found to be a benign tumour, which she has since had removed. And since recovering from the surgery, the TV star has jetted off on holiday.
Since arriving in the lush location, Samie has been sharing snaps with her 673k Instagram followers, the first of which saw her posing in a green bikini.
Looking out at the blue ocean, she penned the caption: "Long time no sea x" She followed this with some snaps of the sunset, in front of which she posed in a light brown two-piece beach coverup.
She captioned this: "Silence for the sunset" and her fellow ex-islanders were quick to compliment her, with best pal Claudia Fogarty writing: "Stunning lady [red heart emoji]"
While Tasha Ghouri wrote: "Wow!!! [heart-eye emoji]" and Tanya Manhenga simply commented with a trio of heart-eye emojis.
Sharing a clip of herself and a friend doing yoga on the beach, Samie revealed how she had been spending her relaxing getaway.
Over the video, she wrote: "The beginning of our sunrise yoga session this morning." She then followed this with a second clip of herself on a boat, to which she added: "Then spent the rest of the morning with the dolphins [dolphin emoji]"
Samie shot to fame in the recent winter series of Love Island, where she finished in third place with then-boyfriend Tom Clare, although the pair later split shortly after leaving the villa.
However, they later sparked rumours that they had rekindled their romance after being spotted together on numerous occasions.
The duo were spotted leaving a film premiere in June together and heading back into the same hotel, which had fans excited at the prospect of the pair being back together.
However, Samie has since revealed that they are definitely not back together, although they are now good friends.
Speaking to The Sun, Samie said: "I'm happy that we don't hate each other now. No, we're not back on, we're just really good friends."
She also addressed any chance of them getting back together in the future, saying: "I don't know, once you've been there and done it with someone…we had our run and it went well, but I'm happy that we don't hate each other now."
