Love Island typically catapults its contestants into fame, and sometimes that means a massive transformation too.

The video was captioned: “I didnt see that coming! [sic]”
Jordan’s transformation proved so popular on TikTok that the video has received over a quarter of a million likes and counting.
Praising his new style, one fan wrote: “he looks cool as [sic]”
“He looks fly, ya don’t have to like the clothes to admit it’s well put together and suits him [sic],” added a second.
“BIGGEST GLOW UP OF ALL THE CASTTT [sic],” praised a third.
“His style is definitely daring, creative and different. I like it,” remarked a fourth.
A fifth gushed: “he looks gorgeous i love that he's confident in his style!! [sic]”
“Defo a ASOS model [sic],” a sixth said.
Multiple users also compared the former Love Island contestant to musical superstar Harry Styles.
Jordan very much brought the drama on the 2019 season of Love Island and his ex Anna Vakili said his behaviour was ‘the worst in the show's history.’
She said: “Who makes someone their girlfriend, then announces they have feelings for another girl and tells her in front of my face, without telling me?
“I think that's the worst thing that's ever happened on the show and trust it to happen to me - it's just my luck.”
Jordan was dumped from the villa with Amber after dramatic scenes reminiscent of Ekin-Su’s on this season (a comparison that’s been repeatedly made on social media).
He opened up about his behaviour after the show, explaining he decided to crack on with India Reynolds when he realised there were things missing in his then relationship.
"You know, with that one, I feel like when you really like someone you suppress certain things,” he said.
"I feel like there were situations in the villa where I was suppressing them, and when India came in we got on well and it did surprise me.
"I felt bad because I did just make Anna my girlfriend, but it did make me realise there were things missing with me and Anna.”
OK! Magazine reports that Jordan’s new look is a reflection of his current career as a model.
According to the news outlet, he’s worked with big-name designers including GO Eyewear, Diesel and Hugo Boss.
