Love Island 's Alexandra Cane has admitted she's struggling with her mental health less than a year after starring in the hit ITV2 dating show.
The make-up artist came in as a bombshell in the 2018 series, and has remained in the public eye since leaving the villa.
However, Alexandra has admitted that not having any "routine" or "structure" in her life has taken a toll on her physical and mental wellbeing.
She's vowed to turn things around and shared a motivational post on her Instagram page tonight, telling fans she's going to start taking better care of herself.
Alexandra wrote: "Today is the start of my transformation - both mental & physical...
"The last year has been a total rollercoaster & I feel like I’ve lost myself a little bit.
"I feel lethargic, demotivated, uninspired & just not really sure what my path is.
"I don’t have any sort of structure or routine which has taken its toll on my physical and mental health."
She went on to reveal she's suffered any inury that stopped her working out, and it's contributed to her struggle.
Alex went on: "I’ve been suffering with an injury that I’ve found training so difficult.
"I’m now on a mission to get some sort of routine back & do what makes me feel good - which is looking after myself by eating well, exercising & lowering stress levels.
"Stress can come in so many forms & plays a huge impact on your body & overall health. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all and hoping I can help & inspire others along the way if any of you are feeling like I am."
She has since been bombarded with messages of support from fans, who praised her for her honesty.
One wrote: "Thanks for being real gorgeous so many women/girls need this."
Another added: "Well said , and thank you for being such an inspiration to people."
Love Island bosses have vowed to provide better aftercare for contestants who struggle after returning to the real world following their stint in the villa.
The changes were brought in following the suicide of two former contestants, Sophie Gradon in 2018, and Mike Thalassitis, in March.
They both took their own lives in the year following their exit from the villa.
