One former Love Island star that definitiely won't be taking part in the ITV2 show's All Star series later this month is Rachel Finni - for the 32-year old has revealed she is pregnant for the first time.

Rachel rose to fame in the 2021 edition of the show, appearing as the third bombshell tasked with a choice of coupling up with Brad McClelland or Oliver 'Chuggs' Wallis. After opting for the former, a romance failed to blossom though leading to her embarking on a date with Teddy Soares.

Teddy later turned down the chance to pursue things further - instead coupling up with Faye Winter - resulting in Rachel heading home to work as a sales manager for Treehouse Hotels with a spot of social media influencing on the side. Now in an Instagram video, she has proudly showcased her blossoming bump.

In the clip shared to her 82,000 followers, Rachel is seen holding the bottom of her tummy before zooming in and appearing to show the baby moving around. With Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World playing in the background, the reality star simply captioned her post with a white heart.

Responding to the news, meanwhile, one of Rachel's fans commented: "Congratulations Rachel, you will be such a lovely mum." Another agreed: "Omg congratulations hun your going to an amazing mother."

A third added: "Congratulations may you have a healthy and safe pregnancy." And a fourth wrote: "Congratulations Rachel this is lovely news. Hope you are feeling well xx."

Rachel previously revealed she was still being "bullied" by some of her co-stars a year after appearing on Love Island, and also hit out at the "control" bosses have over the contest's outcomes. It came after boys Brad, Jake Cornish, Tyler Cruickshank and Aaron Francis took part in an Instagram live in which they laughed that Rachel "certainly wasn't a bombshell". Brad then went on to cruelly suggest he "used" her to stay in the villa and was "never into" her.

Ranting in response on her own account, Rachel said: "Not the 4 f***boys of my series bringing little irrelevant me up... not surprised on the context which I was brought up. Half think Beyonce is the only black woman in this world whilst the other half act like they don't even have black women in their family. The lack of interest and respect is evident. Don't continue to highlight it. You only make yourselves look worse than you do."

And expressing her regrets about appearing on the show, she added: "TODAY a year later and I'm still being bullied/taunted openly for all to see. How do these actual idiots think it's ok to publicly discuss me like that? And not just today. Multiple, multiple and multiple times over.

"Despite EVERYTHING that happened till now, I still saw the experience as a blessing. No matter how awful and manipulated it was I just took it as part of the experience as it lead me to amazing things."
