She took part on series 11 of Love Island and impressively made it to day 38.
Jess, 26, famously sported raven hair and pretty, girl-next-door looks.
But she's since debuted a much more glam appearance, a sculpted face and golden tan.
The influencer shocked fans when she showed off her fuller lips, highlighted hair, and a fresh face in snaps from Ibiza last week.
She's now admitted it's not just make-up and colour that has made her look totally different.
Jess hit back at a fan who wanted to know if she'd had a nose job, after she shared photos posing on a pavement in faded jeans, a white bra top and black sandals.
One follower asked her: "Did you have a nose job?" and Jess replies: "No! Just filler from the best ..." tagging her aesthetics practitioner.
Jess revealed she'd ditched her darker tresses last week.
She posed for a series of sunkissed snaps accessorising her look with round rim sunglasses, straw sun hat and a sheer beach dress.
Jess captioned the post: "Summer has been good to me."
I was on Love Island this year - one girl is delusional while another is a BULLY
Her former Love Island pals were quick to compliment Jess of her new look, with Olivia Hawkins writing: "Wow," with a heart eyes emoji.
Eve Gale commented: "Unreal."
Jess' getaway comes after she spoke about a worrying health scare in May.
The brunette told how she feels "sick all the time" in a candid video taken from her bed.
She said: "So this is a genuine question, is it just me or is it normal to feel sick ever day?
"I actually swear 'I feel sick' probably comes out of my mouth once a day.
"And I will feel fine and then I just get that wave of I feel sick for hours, and that's it.
"Then it will just clear. I am never ever sick but I just feel sick all the time, it's bizarre.
"To the point that now if I don't feel sick I'm like, why don't I feel sick?"
The TV star then told how she had put a pizza in the oven, but felt too unwell to eat it.
She finished her clip by asking fans: "What does that mean?"
Her fans were quick to offer a variety of suggestions for the sickness, including anxiety and contraception, yet the underlying advice was to see her doctor and get blood tests.
LOVE ISLAND JOURNEY
Jess was in last summer's original Love Island line-up, yet was dramatically dumped from the ITV2 show in a mass cull ahead of the final.
She was embroiled in a love triangle with Harriett Blackmore over Ronnie Vint during much of the series and they came to blows on several occasions.
Jess was repeatedly branded a "bully" by Love Island fans.
But the former retail manager insisted she has been a pal to ALL of her fellow islanders.
Jess was later tipped for a spot on the spin-off All Stars series - yet never ended up featuring.
Though her ex Ronnie did - and Jess then revealed the truth about claims he "kisses like a washing machine".
In the All Stars spin off, Ronnie was labelled a bad kisser after Elma Pazar blasted his kiss for having a bit too much tongue action at high speed.
Reacting to Ronnie's mistake by comparing her own experience, Jess said: 'I mean I can't speak for all his conquests…but he wasn't as bad as a washing machine!
"Definitely not the best kiss I've had though."
Jess added: "I'd rate Ronnie's kissing as a 6/10…but maybe I need to jog my memory?'
Jess, who failed to find lasting love on the show, has previously admitted: "I think I'm single because I don't underestimate the fact that I'm hard work.
"I know what I want and I'm not easily pleased. When you're a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men…"

Vicky Pattison shares fears over 'Strictly curse' rumours as she names dream partner
Vicky Pattison, who will appear on the 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing alongside Dani Dyer and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, was asked if she had her "eyes" on any potential dance partners Vicky Pattison has named her dream dance partner as she shared her fears about falling victim to the so-called Strictly "curse". In a recent chat with co-host Angela Scanlon on the Get A Grip podcast, the Geordie Shore star admitted that she was "scared" as she gears up for her upcoming appearance on the hugely popular BBC dance competition. Vicky, a former I'm A Celeb winner, is just one of 15 stars to be announced for the 2025 series. Some of the famous names include Love Island's Dani Dyer and football legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. As she shared details about her preparations, Vicky was asked if she had her "eyes" on any potential dance partners, and it seems that she's keen to avoid the show's reported "curse". It refers to an unusual phenomenon whereby contestants enter the show with strong relationships away from the dancefloor, only for them to end - seemingly due to their participation. She said: 'No, so obviously I'm newly married, and the press are just, like, wild, aren't they? I feel like the whole, like, chemistry between couples can easily be, like, misrepresented.' She added: 'For that side of things, I would absolutely really love a gay partner, just because I don't want any of the rumours. But, like, you can't go around requesting things like that.' Vicky said she loves Johannes Radebe, to which Angela wholeheartedly agreed. However, her co-host shut down any prospect of the two being paired up as she claimed he was "too tall" for Vicky. Vicky replied that she'd been told this previously, as Angela, who appeared alongside Strictly pro Carlos Gu in the 2023 series, admitted that she'd "kinda" had her eyes on him for a partner. In response, a laughing Vicky dubbed Johannes a "popular fella" and noted that she might not be "waif-like" enough for Carlos. The 'curse' has reportedly led to upheavals in the personal lives of contestants and dancers alike, occasionally resulting in new relationships — such as Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg, and Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton. Meanwhile, Vicky married The Only Way Is Essex 's Ercan Ramadan last year, after being in a relationship with him since 2019. Ercan proposed to the reality star in 2022 while they were in Dubai. On August 24 last year, they tied the knot in Marylebone Town Hall in London, later travelling to Puglia, Italy, for another wedding at Castle Elvira. At the time, Vicky took to Instagram, saying: "I have honestly never felt happiness like it - the most special day of our lives." Speaking to OK! about the couple's potential baby plans, she revealed that they intended to "enjoy being married" for "at least a year" before she opened up about their sleeping arrangements. She said: "I'd love a honeymoon first! A little week in the Caribbean would be lovely. We're just desperate to sleep in the same bed together. I sleep with the dogs [they have two] and he sleeps in the spare room!"

Ulrika Jonsson hits out at Andy Carroll for 'gallivanting across the Mediterranean' with Lou Teasdale while his ex Billi Mucklow 'chooses to put their children first'
has criticised Andy Carroll for 'gallivanting across the Mediterranean' with his girlfriend Lou Teasale while his ex Billi Mucklow is at home with their children. Billi and Andy have three children together - Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae - and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship. The footballer is now in a relationship with make-up artist Lou, recently confirming they had got back together after a brief split earlier this month. Ulrika has been distinctly unimpressed with Andy's loved-up social media snaps with Lou from their travels while TOWIE star Billi looks after his children. In her column for The Sun, she wrote: 'Billi is at home with the three children she shares with Carroll and the two children he has from a previous relationship. She's been going about her business quietly, diligently, with unwavering dignity. Choosing to put the children first. 'She has understood that children need continuity, connection and a daily routine, so while their father has been gallivanting across the Mediterranean with his tongue attached to Lou Teasdale's tonsils, she has chosen to prioritise those she loves the most.' Ulrika asked why is it often the mother who stays at home taking care of the children while the father finds it easier to 'leave his family behind'. 'The mother is the one who remains at home with the children; who doesn't rush into another relationship; who understands she needs to get her ducks in a row before embarking on a new life?' she wrote. 'Why is it that it's so much easier for a man to just leave his family behind and go and satisfy his own needs?' Ulrika added that Andy and Lou's 'summer of love' has been so relentless, she's 'exhausted' just watching their antics. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Andy Carroll for comment. It comes after Andy revealed he is back with Lou following a brief split earlier this week. The couple split after a series of rows, with initial reports claiming the footballer dumped the make-up artist after becoming fed up with her high maintenance behaviour. However, Daily Mail exclusively revealed on Wednesday it was in fact Lou who called off the relationship. Andy has now vowed to cut down on alcohol in a bid to save their relationship after boozy rows as he confirmed the pair are trying 'to work through their difficulties'. He told The Sun on Sunday: 'I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple.' Referring to his divorce from wife Billi Mucklow, who he shares three children with, Andy added: 'Things have been difficult for me and I'm going through a divorce. 'Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it's not a problem in my life. 'We're better off together and we're trying to work through our difficulties.' The pair, who were together for just over a year, unfollowed each other on social media and Andy wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram. They now follow each other on Instagram and have added their loved-up snaps back to their pages. On Wednesday, a source told the Daily Mail: 'It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance. 'She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. 'Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through. 'However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she's staying. 'He will think it's a romantic gesture but for Lou, she's unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she's not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation now. 'All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.' The pair began dating last year after he separated from wife Billi last September. Andy and Billi called it quits divorce after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year. In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Andy was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do. Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened. Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple's marriage was over - with Andy confirming they had started divorce proceedings after 'a hard few months for our family'. Andy said in a statement at the time: 'Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings'. 'It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children.' The former couple have three children together Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship

Mum easily saves herself £400 by DIY-ing the perfect baby wardrobe using £60 B&Q basic buy
DI-WOW She's even got a plan to make the wardrobe work when her daughter is older too A MUM has shown how she saved herself a whopping £400 by turning a basic £60 buy into a gorgeous baby wardrobe. Nikole, who welcomed a baby girl into the world four months ago, admitted she'd been looking at different wardrobe options for the tot, but didn't want to spend loads. 4 4 4 So, she came up with a clever way to use an B&Q unit instead. "Turn this Kallax unit into a wardrobe for my four-month-old with me," Nikole wrote over the top of a picture on TikTok. She then shared a snap of the inspiration, as well as the final product. In another video, she detailed how she completed the transformation step by step. She began by taking out the centre sections of the top two shelves, before replacing it with a curtain pole. She then used some drawers, also from B&Q, to put in the third shelf down, before using fabric containers to go in the bottom two sections. Nikole finished off the transformation by adding some plastic baskets for extra storage at the bottom of the top part, which she got from TikTok Shop. "They're actually quite handy because you can stack them on top of each other but I think it all matches," she added. "It makes it all look really girly and I love it!" Nikole concluded by saying she's "very happy" with how it turned out, and is "obsessed" with the finished look. 'I can't wait for my kids to move out in September – I'm celebrating getting my life back with £2,000 party' "Swear I'd never seen anyone do this before and I did this for my little boy a few months back!" one person commented on the TikTok. "Now we've all had the same idea! Great minds think alike!" "It's such a quick and easy way at to add a little bit of extra storage," Nikole replied. "You literally saved my storage problem!" another praised. "I did this when my son was born, best thing I ever did," a third exclaimed. "So creative, love it!" someone else said. "That;s actually a really good idea!" another wrote. While someone else praised Nikole's "amazing work", another called it "so smart". "Dammit I got rid of ours! Wish I thought of this!" someone else sighed. However, there was another mum who said that while the wardrobe works "brilliantly for when they are tiny", it's harder as they get older, as the "clothes got bigger and it just didn't work". But Nikole had thought of that too, as she replied: "When she gets bigger I'm planning to remove the pink boxes, move the drawers down and make the wardrobe part longer to get more use out of it." 4
