Former Love Islander Molly Smith has shared a striking festive photo, braving the sub-zero temperatures of Lapland in nothing but a vibrant red bikini. The 31-year-old fitness model showcased her impressive, gym-toned figure against a backdrop of deep snow during a pre-Christmas trip to Finland.
A Frosty Festive Display
Molly Smith proved she is never one to shy away from the cold for a great picture. The reality TV star posed confidently in the snow, wearing a busty red two-piece complemented by fluffy white boots, a matching hat, and warm gloves. She captioned the seasonal post simply: 'Merry Christmas Eve'. Her fiancé, Tom Clare, 26, was quick to comment with enthusiastic support, writing: 'MERRY FRICKEN CHRISTMAS.'
From Villa Victory to Lasting Love
The couple's romance began on the 2024 series of Love Island: All Stars, which they went on to win together. Both had previously appeared on separate seasons of the hit dating show. Their relationship has proven to be one of the most enduring from the spin-off series. In a romantic development this autumn, the pair announced their engagement during a trip to Dubai. Tom sweetly lifted Molly into the air in the announcement photo, which she captioned: 'SHE SAID YES!!!'
Molly looked stunning in a white silk dress, showing off her sparkling new ring surrounded by candles and flowers. Fellow Islanders including Liberty Poole, Paige Thorne, and Luca Bish rushed to congratulate the couple in the comments.
Life After Love Island
Since their All Stars victory, Molly has secured several lucrative brand deals. Her portfolio now includes partnerships with clothing retailer boohoo, US fitness supplement brand Alani Nu, jewellery label Abbott Lyon, and cosmetics giants L'Oréal Paris and Maybelline.
Speaking about her relationship with Tom, Molly previously told the Daily Mail: 'You know sometimes when you think, 'Is this too good to be true?'... Tom for his age, shows so much maturity and he's actually treated me better than anyone I've been with.' The couple plan to tie the knot in 2026.
Their Love Island journey captivated viewers, particularly as Molly entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell, surprising her ex-boyfriend Callum Jones. While fans speculated about a reunion, Molly pursued a connection with Tom instead. Callum and his All Stars partner Eve Gale, who finished in second place, split shortly after the series ended.
