Jess Harding underwent a ‘tummy tuck’ procedure after arriving at the Love Island mansion, she has revealed.
The beauty salon owner, 22, who won the show last month with now-boyfriend Sammy Root, also 22, said she was just “eating and not moving” during her time on the programme.
A fan took part in a Q&A session this week and admitted that Jess “looked amazing” when they asked if she had lost weight.
‘No, I arrived when I was at the villa. We were just eating and not moving, just sitting in the sun,” Jess laughed.
In another video, she later revealed that she had a “tummy tuck” as she walked her followers through the process.

Earlier this week, Jess hit back at critics after the dress she wore in the finale came under fire despite winning over audiences with her romance and personality.
After being confronted with a slew of vicious comments about the white turtleneck slip dress, she has now spoken out about the slander, saying: “It wasn’t much fun to read but I think I looked good for the rest of the season.” the Love Island time…
‘I don’t lose sleep over it. The dress was pleated on the side. It didn’t sit quite right on my breasts so it made me look bigger than I am – I actually have a small waist. But you can’t have breasts and buttocks and no hips.’
Jumping in defense of his girlfriend, in their joint interview with OK! Sammy insisted that he “loves” Jess’ figure and her natural beauty.
The winner said firmly, “All the way through Love Island I’ve been telling Jess that I think she’s so beautiful when she’s completely natural. I love everything about Jess’s figure – I’ve made that very clear.”
Jess continued, “To be honest, I’ve heard there are all these negative comments, but I haven’t really seen anything, so I’m pretty happy…
“I’m sure if I started fishing for the negativity it would be there, but the support is insane. I actually didn’t realize how much people love me – remember that, Sammy!’

Angry fans protested: “Jess has the most beautiful curves, but they decided to put her in a dress that has the same shape as a garbage bag. They got Jess dirty with that dress, she’s had so many more flattering outfits this season…
“Jess that white dress is horrible who is responsible for this environment… Why on earth did they put #Jess in that baggy dress…
“She is a beautiful girl and has worn beautiful dresses. She deserved better!.. Whoever dressed Jess hates her. I hate that white dress on Jess. Jess looks beautiful apart from that butter dress.’
