Love Island's Shaughna Phillips "feels like an ogre" after refusing to take any photos of herself on a trip to Los Angeles.
Shaughna, who is heavily pregnant, felt so self conscious during her holiday that she hid away from the camera - adding that she's "struggling to get out of this funk".
The mum-to-be headed to America with her boyfriend Billy for their babymoon.
Sharing some graffiti in the street she added the caption: "I'm having an existential crisis and have not got in a single photo in LA because I legit feel like an ogre.
"Was planning on taking sooooo many pics and having so much to show you guys and it's just not worked out like that yet, hopefully I snap out of this funk," she added.

"I've noticed how big my belly is now and the first thought on your mind, for me anyway, isn't, 'Oh my god, I've got a baby in my belly'. My first thought is, 'Oh my god, I'm huge'."
"But if somebody else said to me, 'I feel really big,' I would be like, 'Shut up, you're growing a human, give yourself a break'. I'm just so hard on myself.
