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(???)"
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.
Matilda Draper & Jess White: While Matilda arrived as a bombshell on Day 12, Jess was part of the original line-up. The two clashed in Casa Amor, over Jess' frustration that Matilda was talking to new hunk Hugo Godfroy - who Jess previously snogged.
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."

There's a dangerous type of narcissist you might have never heard of - but she's probably in your life
When most of us picture a narcissist, it's someone who works a room like a pro. The type of person who oozes charm, is dressed to kill, and is very good at making everything about them. Our minds may even pivot to images of slick, self-assured energy of a TV antihero or the big boss who thrives on being the centre of attention. But according to Perth-based dating and relationship expert Louanne Ward, there's another type of narcissist in our midst - and it's far harder to spot. The traits of 'vulnerable' narcissism (also known as covert narcissism), are a far cry from grand gestures, dominating conversations, and public power plays. No, this one hides behind a softer, more 'relatable' mask. 'They might seem shy, socially withdrawn, self-deprecating or even a little insecure,' Louanne told Daily Mail. 'They're the kind of person you'd never imagine could be manipulative. But underneath, the self-focus and hunger for validation is exactly the same as the classic narcissist - 'they just go about getting it differently.' Why women often display the 'quieter' form of narcissism Ward says gender norms play a big role in how narcissism shows up. 'We've been taught that being loud, cocky, or unapologetically self-promoting is unfeminine. So for some women, the drive for attention and approval gets wrapped in humility, sensitivity, or victimhood instead,' she explained. 'It's still about being noticed and valued, just in a package that aligns with what's rewarded in women.' The dating red flags you should never ignore In a partner, however, Louanne warns that vulnerable narcissists can come across as deeply sensitive. They can also trick us by seeming emotionally attuned and even fragile in the early stages of dating - which can make them hard to resist. According to Louanne, some early warning signs include fast-tracked emotional intimacy by sharing deep, vulnerable stories within days of meeting as well as the tell-tale love bombing and sharing endless praise about your soul, your energy, your 'rare' connection. She also listed 'guilt through fragility' which revolves around acting wounded or hurt if you make other plans without them. 'Subtle loyalty tests are also a way of manipulation,' said Louanne. 'They tell tales of past heartbreak and make you promise you'd never do the same.' Other traits include going cold when they don't get their way, feigning sudden 'emergencies' that derail your plans so you'll focus on them, and soft-gaslighting by using terms like: 'that's not how I remember it' or 'you misunderstood me' to make you doubt yourself. How it plays out behind closed doors Once in a relationship, Louanne says the patterns often intensify. Expect scorekeeping, stonewalling, withdrawing affection until you apologise, and rewriting history to make them the victim. Even gentle feedback can result in tearful meltdowns that flip the script and put you in the role of comforter. 'They can also create emotional dependency, convincing you they can't cope without you,' Louanne said. 'It makes you feel guilty or selfish for putting your own needs first.' The manipulation tactics to watch for One of the most common is a term called 'triangulation', which brings a third person into the mix to make you feel insecure or competitive. 'It might be a compliment about an ex, mentioning someone who flirts with them, or comparing you unfavourably to someone else,' Louanne explained. 'The goal is to make you chase their approval. Other tools in the covert narcissist's kit include guilt-tripping, playing the victim to divert attention from your concerns, and the silent treatment to force you to make amends. Why they're so hard to spot, and even harder to leave Louanne says the problem is these relationships don't start out looking toxic. 'They may appear misunderstood, unlucky in love, or just deeply sensitive. You feel needed, and that bond is intense. 'By the time you notice patterns, you've often explained them away.' And because they're often polite, shy or 'nice' in public, friends and family may struggle to believe your side of the story. Can they change? Vulnerable narcissism is often rooted in deep insecurity and shaped by early experiences of feeling unseen or unprotected. 'It's a defence system that says, 'I'll keep you close so you can't hurt me. But I'll still make sure I'm getting my needs met first,' Louanne explained. However she believes change is possible, but it is rare without genuine self-awareness and long-term therapy. 'Narcissistic traits are tied to a fragile sense of self, so feedback can feel like an attack,' she added. If you suspect you're dealing with one, Louanne's advice is clear: track the patterns, set small, firm boundaries, and reality-check your experiences with a trusted friend or therapist. 'It's not about diagnosing them, it's about protecting your emotional space and deciding what's right for you.'

Bollywood-inspired 'A Christmas Carol' will feature an anti-refugee Scrooge - and star Boy George, Eva Longoria and Danny Dyer
A Bollywood-inspired adaptation of A Christmas Carol will star a version of Ebenezer Scrooge who 'despises refugees', the director has revealed. The musical, which is directed by Gurinder Chadha and based on the 1843 novella by Charles Dickens, will feature a 'British-Indian' man named Sood as the lead character. He is described as a wealthy man who hates poor people and refugees on the basis they 'haven't worked as hard as him to get where he is'. The film, called Christmas Karma, is due for release in November this year and will star Kunal Nayyar, Boy George, Eva Longoria, Hugh Bonneville and Billy Porter. EastEnders actor Danny Dyer also has a part in the musical as a London cab driver and was spotted wearing a red Christmas jumper during filming in May last year. Ms Chadha said according to The Telegraph: 'Our Scrooge, called Sood, is a rich British Indian who despises poor people and refugees in particular. 'Sood has decided that immense wealth brings him status and standing, so to hell with the poor, unemployed and disenfranchised who didn't work as hard as him to get where he is.' The director, who is known for Bend It Like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice, said the inspiration for the modern-day musical came from politicians in Britain today. She added that Christmas Karma, which is set in London, is a celebration of 'all of modern Britain's communities and cultures'. Ms Chadha explained that her version is 'very true to the original text and sentiment' and aims to teach viewers how prejudice in society still exists. 'A hundred and eighty-two years later, Dickens' novella still resonates globally in today's sometimes harsh world,' she said. A Christmas Carol traditionally recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge - a miserable old man who is visited by a series of ghosts. He is subsequently transformed into a kinder and more empathetic character. Nayyar, who will play the protagonist in Ms Chadha's musical, is known for his role as Raj Koothrappali in the US sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Meanwhile, Boy George will play the Ghost of Christmas Future and Paddington's Hugh Bonneville will take on the role of the Ghost of Jacob Marley. The film, called Christmas Karma, is due for release in November this year and will star Kunal Nayyar, Boy George (left), Eva Longoria (right), Hugh Bonneville and Billy Porter Nayyar, who will play the protagonist in Ms Chadha's musical, is known for his role as Raj Koothrappali in the US sitcom The Big Bang Theory Christmas Karma is the latest in a series of controversial remakes of Dickens' work. In 2019, the BBC's version of A Christmas Carol was slammed by viewers for tampering with the traditional dialogue. Those tuning into episode one of the three-part drama were shocked when lead character Ebeneezer Scrooge [played by Guy Pearce] dropped the F-bomb. The mini-series was written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. It shocked fans from the off, opening with a scene in which a young boy urinates on the grave of Jacob Marley, calling him 'a skinflint b*****d'. Claire Tomalin, who wrote a celebrated biography of Dickens, said at the time: 'I don't think he would have been very pleased. 'Dickens didn't need people urinating on graves. He reached people through the power of his words and his imagination.'

Pregnant Pixie Lott showcases her blossoming baby bump in a plunging red gown as she steps out in London - just weeks before her due date
Pixie Lott proudly displayed her baby bump as she stepped out in London on Wednesday - just weeks before her due date. The 34-year-old singer, who recently announced she is expecting her second child with husband Oliver Cheshire, turned heads in a plunging red gown. She completed the ethereal look with red velvet heels and delicate jewellery. Pixie was spotted gently cradling her blossoming bump as she walked through large metal gates on her way to her next destination. Her outing comes after the singer, who is already a mother to son Bertie, 23 months, revealed exactly when she is set to welcome baby number two. Speaking to The Sun earlier this month, the Essex-born beauty revealed that she is just four weeks away from welcoming her newborn, with her last gig being Friday's Flackstock. She said: 'I think the last gig [Flackstock] is going to be four weeks before the due date. So yeah, I think it's going to be fine... 'I did it last time and I've checked with the doc and he said that it's fine to keep doing it as long as you feel good. So hopefully, I mean that last show, four weeks, I don't know how long... Woo!' Pixie also discussed how she feels while being pregnant, working and looking after an under two-year-old all in one go. She divulged: 'It's more tiring being pregnant, waking up early and running around after him than the shows, because with the shows I get like an adrenaline that takes over so I don't even think about it... 'The tiring bit is the running around after the toilet fight.' Last month, Pixie announced live on stage that she was expecting her second child at London's Mighty Hoopla. After revealing her pregnancy, Pixie cradled her blossoming bump and she flashed a radiant smile for the cheering crowd. Her very public announcement came in contrast to her first pregnancy, which she kept a secret until she was 31 weeks along. Pixie was spotted gently cradling her blossoming bump as she walked through large metal gates on her way to her next destination The pop star took to Instagram to break the joyous news in June 2023, showing off her bump in a black sports bra and leggings, while Oliver planted a kiss on her stomach. While the hitmaker has previously revealed her desire to have a 'big family', telling The Sun in 2021: 'I'm a big family girl, a very big family girl. 'It is everything to me so I would love to have my own when I can find the time. It's such an amazing thing to have.' Pixie and Oliver met for the first time at a Select Model catwalk show back in 2010 and quickly struck up a romance. The model then popped the question in November 2016 on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral in London. The couple finally tied the knot in June 2022 at Ely Cathedral after they were forced to cancel their wedding several times due to the Covid pandemic.
