Samira Mighty writhes in the sea while lip-syncing ABBA

She shot to fame on the 2018 series of Love Island.

And Samira Mighty had a different island in mind on Wednesday as she took to Instagram to share a video while lip-syncing to an ABBA song.

The former Love Island star, 23, looked sensational in a sexy pastel pink two-piece as she joked that she awaiting a casting call for ‘a black Sophie Sheridan’ – the lead character in Mamma Mia. 

Samira looked incredible in the video as she frolicked in the pink one-piece with high-waisted bottoms while flaunting her tiny waist and taut abs.

She was mouthing and dancing to ABBA’s 1980 hit Lay All Your Love On Me.  

It comes after Samira admitted that her involvement in Love Island can prove ‘intimidating’ for potential suitors, as she explained her decision to keep future relationships private, and told why she no longer speaks to ex Frankie Foster.

She told MailOnline: ‘I think a lot of people could be intimidated by the whole Love Island title.’

Instead of feeling disconcerted by her single status, Samira feels empowered, as she focuses her attention on her singing and hopes to release new music next year.

During an interview to discuss her Virgin Media campaign, The Look of Love, she said: ‘To be honest I haven’t really thought about [dating] that much as there’s a lot going on at the minute.

‘I’m just trying to focus on my job and what I want to do in the future.

‘If anything happens in my love life now, I think it’s going to be extremely private. I don’t want to air everything anymore because if something goes wrong, then everyone will know about it.’

For the brunette bombshell, being thrust into the limelight hasn’t impacted her love life, however, she admitted that the Love Island brand can be intimidating for others.

She said: ‘I think a lot of people could be intimidated by the whole Love Island title, but I don’t think it’s done anything to my love life, it’s not changed a lot to be honest.

‘I’m not really a “dater” anyway, I don’t really go out and meet lots of guys.

‘Before Love Island I was working constantly in the West End so I didn’t really have time, and if I did have a boyfriend, it was for a really long time because my job didn’t enable me to go out and meet lots of people.

‘And especially this year with the pandemic, I’ve not met a lot of people!’ 

Samira hit headlines following her romance with Frankie Foster, who she met on Love Island, quitting the show for him when he was eliminated from the series.

The couple decided to go their separate ways in August 2018 after her beau was caught cheating.

She confirmed that she no longer speaks to Frankie, saying: ‘No I don’t talk to him, it’s been a long time since I spoke to Frankie, it’s almost three years since the show. He was part of my Love Island experience but that’s it.’

Samira then dated Ibiza Weekender personality Alex Dean, but the couple split before the start of lockdown in March, after spending 14 months together.
