She may not have struck gold when it came to winning Love Island, having placed third on the popular reality ITV2 show, but Ella Thomas has landed herself with another pretty sweet deal as she has been announced as fashion brand PrettyLittleThing's latest brand ambassador.
Having made a name for herself on the show for her honesty, confidence and roller coaster relationship with footballer Tyrique Hyde, the Glaswegian model fast became a social media star and has now signed a six-month partnership with the brand - whose ambassadors include Love Island alumni Molly-Mae Hague and Indiyah Polack.
The Love Islander, who starred in the tenth series of the show, will be creating social content for the online fashion mogul and will even be putting her stamp on the brand with her own clothing edit in the next few weeks.
Speaking about this exciting new venture, Ella said: "To be an official PLT girl is an absolute dream come true – a real ‘pinch me moment’. I cannot contain my excitement so I am thrilled I can now shout about the news! I have such a strong love for fashion and I take so much pride in my outfit choices and combinations.
"Working as a full-time model before Love Island has meant I have an eye for detail, and importantly I have curated my own style. The PLT ‘Ella-Edit’ is coming very soon - watch this space."

PrettyLittleThing added: "We’re really excited to have Ella on board. She’s smart, confident, ambitious, and has a much-loved, relatable style. We’re very excited to have her joining the PLT family and securing ‘The PLT Deal’. We look forward to sharing lots of exciting content and edit with our customers and her fans."
Sharing the news on her own social media over the weekend, Ella told her fans alongside a snap of her at the PLT headquarters: "5 ft 7 AND STYLISH The secret is finally out… I am so excited to announce that I am @prettylittlething ‘s latest Brand Ambassador I can’t wait for you all to see everything we’ve been working on Watch this space, big things are coming."
And celebrity friends couldn't wait to congratulate her on this next step.
Fellow ex-Love islander, Kaz Kamwi, said: "Congratulations gorjjj," while Indiyah Polack wrote: "Congratulations girl!!"
Scott van-der-Sluis, who also appeared on this year's show but wasn't as lucky in love, added: "Shut it downnn!! congrats Ella."
Tyrique also weighed in on this news and congratulated his partner: "Only right! Proud of you."
