And images of beauty queen Sharon Gaffka prove she is a star in the making, as she modelled a bikini and range of dresses at a pageant in 2014.

Sharon was crowned the winner of the Crown & Glory European Pageant seven years ago, which took place at the Beaufort Park Hotel in the Flintshire town.
Pictures even show her in the bikini round during the competition, wearing a daring bright blue bikini in front of crowds.
In the old snaps Sharon looks noticibly different to her social media and Love Island promo images.
The budding reality personality has switched her long raven locks for a cropped ligher hair do, while also opting for a softer pallet of make-up
