Jessy Potts, 26, rose to fame on the eleventh series of Love Island in 2024, where she was coupled up with former Towie star Joey Essex.
Just seven weeks after leaving the infamous Love Island villa, the pair called time on their romance.
Now the star has taken to somewhat desperate measures to find her Mr Right.
Taking advantage of the viral Jet2 Holiday advert campaign, Jesy recorded a video of herself boarding a plane from the holiday operator.
But as the voiceover blared out on her TikTok profile, she made strange faces at the phone camera as she walked on the tarmac.
The caption on top of the video read: "Just a girl on her way to a different country to spend a week with a man she met for 48 hours.
Almost immediately, droves of her loyal followers flooded the comments section with concerns for the former reality personality.
One fan exclaimed: "That's abit dogey!"
A second stated: "Good luck gf !! Blink twice if you need help," alongside a concerned emoji face.
"911 on dial just in case, noted a third social media user.
Love Island's wildest and sexiest terrace moments
While a fourth suggested: "Sounds like the start of a perfect love story, or a horror film. Love you my girl be safe."
While someone else sarcastically asked: "Do you watch true crime at all Jessy(???)"
And a sixth stated: "I live this for you, just please be careful."
This comes after she previously revealed that her sister was brutally axed from the Love Island line-up in a major U-turn by bosses.
Love Island series 11 - feuds in the villa
No edition of Love Island is complete without its fair share of drama - and series 11 is no different. Here's a look at some of the most fiery feuds so far. Joey Essex & Samantha Kenny: Samantha entered the villa on Day 1 and was initially coupled with Sam Taylor. However, Samantha was 'stolen' by Joey, the first bombshell of series 11. She was 'dumped' on Day 16 - with the make-up artist saying she had been brutally snubbed by Joey in the villa - although it never made it to air.

Harriet Blackmore & Jess White: The two women were caught up in a love triangle for much of their time on the programme. The pair were fighting over Ronnie Vint, 27, from Greenwich, who wound up being dumped alongside Harriett.
She revealed to fans on Snapchat: "Yeah so when I first had an interview with Love Island we didn't know what it was for we just knew we were doing a call with ITV and they wanted sisters, they were looking for siblings.
"Then I don't think it went anywhere because I don't think they could figure it out."
