The mother-of-two flaunted her figure in a Burberry bikini while paddle boarding with Nathan on holiday. 

The reality star looked to be having the best time as she sat on a paddle board while her fellow Love Island star beau Nathan snapped a selfie amid the family holiday at the Quinta do Lago resort.

It came just days before Portugal was removed from the UK’s ‘green’ and quarantine-free travel list amid concerns over the new Nepal Covid variant.  

Britons in Portugal were told to dash home before or face quarantine, with many claiming the sudden move to ‘amber’ list  was ‘unfair’ and ‘stressful’.

Cara recently claimed she’s not ‘pretty’ enough to appear on Love Island now and warns future stars to expect more trolling than her generation.

The former Islander has given up watching the show after being made to feel inadequate by the stars of more recent series.

In an exclusive interview, Cara, who won the competition in 2016 with husband Nathan, admitted she only went in the TV villa to avoid paying rent for six weeks, while contestants today have preconceived ideas and face ‘horrible trolling.

Cara told MailOnline: ‘I’ll be honest I don’t really watch Love Island anymore because the people on there, they’re just so pretty and everything and it just stresses me out watching these girls walk around and I think “I don’t look like that anymore.”

‘I think it’s a really difficult thing to go into now and I’ll be honest I don’t think I would want to go into Love Island now. It’s too big of an industry now for me. It would stress me out too much. 

‘With Nathan and I and the earlier series it was all about love – we had no expectations of what Love Island was.

‘I went in there because I didn’t want to pay rent for six weeks! I thought I’ll go in there, I’m a little bit of a weirdo and nobody is going to fancy me and I fell in love and met my husband!

‘Nathan and I are really lucky, we have never really been trolled or had any horrible people comment stuff but the amount of stress these lot get now, it’s crazy.

‘I’m not saying some of them don’t bring it on themselves because I reckon some of them do but the pressure now is crazy, especially for couples to stay together after the show.

‘Camilla and Jamie, Jess and Dom, those early series, there was a lot less pressure on people to stay together so relationships were more nature. 

‘I really don’t envy them. Back then it was all about love and now it’s a bit more of a holiday…’
