LOVE ISLAND star Mary Bedford has ignored the freezing temperatures as she stripped down to her bikini while posing in the snow.

Much of the UK is dealing with the aftermath of Storm Goretti but that hasn’t dampened Mary’s mood as she took part in a photoshoot in the freezing temperatures.

The model took to Instagram to post two pictures of herself wearing a black bikini as she showed off her stunning bronzed up body.

She perched a matching fur coat on her arms and accessorised with some black ankle boots and fluffy ear muffs.

Mary had her blonde extensions straightened and went for a pretty make-up look complete with a nude lipgloss, mascara and some blush.

The ITV star was surrounded by blankets of snow as she sizzled in her gorgeous two-piece and seduced the camera.

She captioned the post: “snow barbie,” alongside a blonde girl emoji, a pink ribbon and a snowflake.

Her loyal followers flocked to the comments section to compliment her as one person gushed: “Too HOT to feel the cold.”

Another social media user enthused: “Absolutely beautiful,” with fire flame emojis.

Somebody else commented: “Snow queen baddie,” and yet another said: “Honestly, you look INCREDIBLE.”

A fifth follower added: “omg!! Way to just show us up girlie!!!!”

Mary shot to fame on the seventh series of Love Island back in 2021 and made her entrance on day 29 as one of the Casa Amor bombshells.

She struck up a connection with Aaron Simpson but the pair were dumped from the villa just six days before the final.

Despite attempting to make their relationship work on the outside, the two split not long after being axed.

Her series was won by Liam Reardon and Millie Court who called time on their four-year romance last year.

Mary also reportedly dated fellow Love Island star Chris Hughes prior to her stint on the ITV2 show.

Her career as a model reached new heights last year as she walked the runway at Miami Swim Week alongside Grace Jackson.

She wowed in a plunging blue swimsuit that featured a hip-skimming cut.

Mary took to Instagram to share videos from friends who captured her catwalk moment.

One clip showed the villa beauty wearing a lingerie inspired bikini with blue lace trim, matched with a sheer yellow sarong.

While the UK might be in the grip of a cold snap, there’s still plenty of sunshine to be found elsewhere. If you’re not one for the chilly and dark seasons in the UK, then there are numerous other destinations to consider.

Maria Hughes, a travel expert at Good To Go Travel Insurance, has revealed to the Express her top six winter sun spots that holidaymakers should check out.

From vibrant cities to expansive beaches and lush rainforests, there’s a world of options – and these locations all boast temperatures in the mid to high 20s, ideal for soaking up some rays.

6. Valletta, Malta

This majestic walled city is a popular holiday destination for Brits because it’s just a few short hours away. Not only does Malta have some gorgeous beaches, but it also has winding streets filled with cafes and bars, perfect for exploring.

5. Cape Town, South Africa

South Africa is in full summer splendour, and the views are spectacular. Dine alfresco at the foot of the imposing Table Mountain, or take a cable car up to it and see the landscape spread out beneath you. There are white sand beaches and a bustling harbour to sit at and watch the boats sail to and from.

4. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

White sand, turquoise seas and a gentle breeze rustling the palms as you sit back and relax. The Dominican Republic is a stunning place to explore, and this is no different. This resort town is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy a taste of luxury as the warm, balmy weather sweeps over you.

3. Tenerife, Canary Islands

Although this island is not as hot as some of the other places on the list, it’s still a popular winter sun destination for Brits because it’s so easy to get to. Tenerife has jaw-dropping black sand beaches, volcanoes and a bustling Old Town that makes for a fabulous day out.

2. Sri Lanka

January marks the beginning of Sri Lanka’s dry season, so it’s the perfect time to visit for the best weather. You can explore the misty rainforest highlands and drink tea, or just laze around on the beaches and relax.

1. Barbados, Caribbean

Just as in Sri Lanka, January in Barbados is the dry season. This island paradise is famous for its laid-back lifestyle, delicious food and beachfront resorts. You can swim with turtles, explore the coast by boat and experience true Caribbean hospitality.
