Molly Smith was rushed to hospital with a mystery illness just days before she headed to Dubai with her boyfriend Tom Clare.
The Love Island star sparked concern after fans noticed she was “missing” from social media for five days.
The Sun has since revealed she suffered a health scare in the early hours of the morning last Tuesday.
The source said: “It was a worrying night for Molly. She was taken into hospital in the middle of the night, but thankfully it was just a scare.”
“She’s now doing much better. Her trip with Tom couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s been a busy few weeks and she’s excited to relax and recuperate ready to come back fighting fit.”
In a post shared on Instagram, Molly revealed to her fans: “Sorry for being MIA. I ended up in hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning so I’ve been a bit of a write off.”
She added: “Finally had a little TLC and got my hair done so starting to feel a little more like me again.”
“I will catch up with properly with you all soon.”
During a Q&A en route to Dubai, Molly also told fans: “I’m getting there… slowly. Thank you for asking.”
“This holiday couldn’t have come at a better time. Relaxation and some sun is very much needed.”
The 29-year-old won the first series of Love Island: All-Stars this year alongside her now-boyfriend Tom.
Molly was joined in the South African villa by her ex Callum Jones, who she had split from just six months prior.
Fans were left disappointed at the end of the season, as the public had hoped for a “fairytale reunion” between the exes.
However, its clear Molly has moved on from Callum as she’s now archived or deleted all her Instagram posts featuring her ex.
