Love Island winner Jess Harding put on a stylish display as she enjoyed a night out at Sakku Samba restaurant in Manchester on Wednesday.
The beauty salon owner, 22, who won the ITV show with now-boyfriend Sammy Root, 22, looked sensational in a black crop top and cargo pants.
The reality star kept comfortable in a pair of black and red Nike trainers, accessorising with a black shoulder bag and silver stud earrings.
Jess’ appearance comes after she revealed she recently underwent a ‘belly tuck’ procedure after gaining weight in the Love Island villa.
The beautician claimed she was just ‘eating and not moving around’ during her time on the ITV2 dating show this summer.

Taking part in a question and answer session in August, one fan admitted that Jess ‘looked fab’ as they asked if she had lost weight.
‘No, I put weight on when I was in the villa. We were just eating and not moving around, just sitting in the sun,’ Jess laughed.
In another video, she revealed that she had a ‘belly tuck’ as she walked her followers through the process.
The clip showed Jess laid down with a belt and machine wrapped around her tummy.
In August, Jess hit back at critics after the dress she wore in the final came under fire, despite winning over the public with her romance and personality.
After she was faced with a slew of cruel comments about the cowl neck white slip dress, she has now spoken out about the slurs, saying: ‘It wasn’t very nice to read, but I think I looked alright for the rest of the Love Island time…
‘I’m not losing any sleep over it. The dress was ruched at the side. It didn’t sit quite right on my boobs so it made me look bigger than what I am – I’ve actually got a diddy little waist. But you can’t have boobs and a bum and not hips.’

Jumping to his girlfriend’s defence, in their joint interview with OK! Sammy insisted he ‘loves’ Jess’ figure and her natural beauty.
The winner determinedly said: ‘The whole way through Love Island I’ve said to Jess that I think she is so beautiful when she’s completely natural. I love everything about Jess’ figure – I’ve made that very clear.’
Jess went on: ‘To be honest, I’ve heard there’s all these negative comments out there but I’ve not really seen anything, so I’m quite happy…
‘I’m sure if I went fishing for the negativity it would be there, but the support is crazy. I didn’t actually realise how many people love me – remember that, Sammy!’
