The new mum said her furniture would be getting cleaned before it gets shipped to the United Arab Emirates. Arabella then shared a photo of the view from her flat in Battersea, before sharing a photo of her empty flat. She captioned it: "Onto the next chapter," with a flag of Dubai. The reality star has always enjoyed the jetsetting lifestyle and often shares snaps of her sunkissed getaways. Just last week, Arabella showed off her incredible post-baby figure in a crochet bikini - just three months after giving birth. Last month, the new mum stunned in a white floral maxi dress with a thigh split, before sizzling in a backless mini dress. Arabella recently opened up on facing her first parenting struggle after being left home alone by her partner just days after giving birth. Confirming Billy had jetted off to work, the star revealed she'd found it "challenging" having to look after the tot on her own. Cradling Gigi in a mirror selfie, the ex of Ruben Dias declared: "One tired mumma." Pregnant Love Island star Arabella Chi shows off huge bump as she lifts weights in the gym She added: "Billy has been away for work this week which has been challenging but has also given me so much confidence in getting out the house alone. "Can't wait for another pair of hands and to have a long shower when he's home."

They begun dating just weeks after she took part in the first ever All Stars edition of Love Island early last year.

Arabella had chronicled her fitness journey throughout her pregnancy and clarified that her post was a means of continuing her regular content and not to be insensitive towards women struggling with their bodies just a few days after giving birth. She said online: "I was amazed that my body did bounce back as quickly as it did and I am proud of myself." "I was proud that all that training I had done had paid off and to inspire other people that if you train safely throughout your pregnancy it does make a difference." Arabella concluded by writing: "Don't get me wrong, post partum isn't always glamorous, most days I'm covered in sick, milk, blood or poo. But it's also nice to share the small wins on here."
