Lauren Wood is already hanging out with Love Island alumni as she joined All Stars winner Gabby Allen to host a fitness event at Frame in Shoreditch on Saturday.
The fitness influencer, 26, was brutally dumped from the island when new bombshell Angel arrived last week, with her partner Harrison Solomon, 22, voluntarily exiting the villa to be with her.
And after just days out of the villa, she is already rubbing shoulders with Love Island legends as she stepped out alongside Gabby, 33.
Lauren showed off her incredible figure in a black bralet and matching leggings, which she paired with Nike trainers, a cream tote bag and a simple bracelet.
Alongside her, Gabby stepped out in figure-hugging blue gym shorts and a matching top, which she teamed with chunky beige trainers.
Gabby no doubt had some words of wisdom about leaving the villa for Lauren, having featured on both the third series of Love Island and the All Stars edition.

Lauren had a dramatic time on Love Island as she was in a love triangle with Harrison and Toni Laites, 24, which saw the footballer go back and forth between the two women, causing weeks of upset and conflict.
Harrison’s actions were condemned by viewers and, to his dismay, Women’s Aid also criticised his actions by releasing a damning statement claiming his behaviour ‘reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls.’
However, after leaving the villa, Lauren clapped back at Women’s Aid and declared the charity’s statement was ‘blown way out of proportion’ as she insisted Harrison ‘just made a mistake’.
The dog walker told Cosmopolitan: ‘Erm obviously, I think it was blown out of proportion like he’s made a mistake but everyone makes mistakes.
‘Like, he’s gone about it the wrong way, he knows he has done wrong. I think it was just the timing of everything.
‘It was literally just the timing of it but like he said, he isn’t a bad person and everyone in the villa knows that.’
MailOnline contacted Women’s Aid for comment at the time.
The Derby-born Islander had a relationship with US waitress Toni before embarking on a new romance with Lauren after meeting her in Casa Amor, with the couple becoming the first to have sex on the ITV2 show this series.

But Harrison sparked outrage by convincing Toni, who was unaware he had slept with Lauren, to rekindle, leaving the distraught influencer in floods of tears.
Shortly after their bedroom antics were exposed, Lauren was dumped from the villa and followed out the door by Harrison, who was quickly informed of Women’s Aid’s criticism, which left him dumbstruck.
Fans on X shared their concern for Lauren’s disagreement with Women’s Aid and wrote: ‘She forgive Harrison everything. Let’s c once they have split up’,
‘setting women back omg’, ‘Standing up for someone is one thing, but brushing off a real issue as “just a mistake” can do more harm than good’,
‘To think they were trying to support her as well. They literally made that statement to support her’,
‘Mind you Women’s Aid were backing HER and were fuming about how she was treated and she’s saying this? This girl has set women back 1000 years’.
Harrison has also revealed what he really thought on the Women’s Aid statement in an exclusive interview with MailOnline.
He insisted the charity was wrong to call him out and claims the nature of the statement upset his family.

He said: ‘I have seen the backlash and it’s hard to digest. I would disagree with a lot of it in terms of my respect for women, I do respect women.
‘The worst has been from Women’s Aid. I know myself and the girls on the show too, Toni said she knows I’m not a bad person, just went about situations in the wrong way, but the Women’s Aid statement wasn’t nice… it’s not nice coming out of the villa to my mum upset by that so I would say that’s been the hardest.’
He added: ‘To the women I have hurt, I am obviously sorry. I got it wrong and the back and forth between the two connections caused more harm than I ever intended.
‘It wasn’t ever an ego thing. I am not proud of how I handled things and I’m not going to make excuses.
‘I just want to own it. If people can give me the space to grow from it, I will do everything I can to be better and that’s the only thing I can do.
‘There is no handbook for how to be on a show like Love Island. It’s instincts and intentions. I got some of it right, but I know I got a lot of it wrong, and I know that now.’
Harrison said the statement issued by Women’s Aid, which commented on women being ‘lied to, slut-shamed, and laughed at behind their backs’ was particularly detrimental given the close relationship he shares with his mother and younger sister.
American contestant Toni believed she had found The One in Harrison, but after realising she deserved better than to be an option, she told him: ‘You treated me like s*** repeatedly’

However, the pair have overcome their turbulent time in the villa and have pursued things on the outside since Harrison’s voluntary exit
Harrison says leaving Love Island was a decision he made himself, telling MailOnline: ‘I have seen a lot of this online and I feel like I am my own man and I’m going to make my own choices.
‘I wouldn’t have left one of the biggest TV shows in the UK if I didn’t see a future with Lauren. It was a very emotional conversation because she was just dumped, she was acting on emotion, she just wanted to get across to me how much she was into me and wanted to give me a second chance.
‘I understand where people are coming from, but Lauren found a proper connection, of course she wanted me to leave with her. Lauren didn’t make the decision for me though I followed my heart.’
American contestant Toni believed she had found The One in Harrison, given he was Miami based and in her age range, but after realising she deserved better than to be an option, she told him: ‘You treated me like s*** repeatedly and I tried to walk away multiple times. Please don’t treat Lauren this way.’
