Shaughna Phillips has had her placenta delivered to her at home following the birth of her daughter last week.
The Love Islander, now 29, received her placenta in the post just a day after her own birthday.
The reality TV star announced the arrival of her daughter Lucia last week, with the newborn now just over a week old.
She took to her Instagram to share the "emotional" placenta delivery.
Sharing a photo of the box it came in, the 2020 Love Island contestant wrote: "Look what's arrived."

The company say they have already worked with Rochelle Humes, Coleen Rooney and Amy Childs.
Shaughna welcomed her baby on April 4, having weighted 8lb 8oz.
The media personality announced that she was expecting her first baby in October with boyfriend Billy Webb, sharing the news of her pregnancy with footage of her having an ultrasound scan as well as clips of a positive pregnancy test.
Yet, it has been a tough few months for Shaughna following Billy's arrest.
Shaughna revealed last month that Webb "isn't around" after he was arrested and charged with drug offences in January.
She previously said that people "don't know what to say" to her since the news of Webb's arrest broke - describing the awkward fact as "the elephant in the room".

She wrote in the caption: "Happy birthday to me & happy one week old to my dream girl Lucia, the only present mama could ever wish for. Lucia also became an official person today! Life is so much more now, I'm obsessed."
Shaughna later shared the photo of herself and baby Lucia where she wrote about no longer caring over her appearance.
"Insta is so much easier when you don't care what you look like anymore ".
Shaughna recently spoke about her appearance after sharing photos of herself on a walk and being praised in the comments for being "completely real".
"I can honestly say for the first time in my life I truly realise how you look is the least important thing about you!," she replied to the fan.
"I have never looked so rough but I've also never been this happy and in love in my entire life."
