Kady McDermott is making a dramatic return to Love Island seven years after finding fame on the show.
And the stunner, 27, is getting ready to leave behind her luxury Hertfordshire mansion which she dubs ‘McDermott Manor’ to jet off and film the ITV2 show in Mallorca.
Kady, who bought the pad with ex partner and TOWIE star Myles Barnett in 2019, has spent millions to turn a ‘chalet’ into the now lavish six bedroom, three floor property that boasts a cinema room and pool table.
She often shares an glimpse into her lavish home on social media and even set up a separate account to document the renovation and decorating.
The sprawling mansion is decorated throughout in an ultra modern and monochrome style, with a mix of marble flooring and fluffy cream carpets.

Lucky Kady boasts her own dressing room with wall to ceiling cupboards and a Hollywood style mirror surrounded by lights.
Having designed the home with her ex, one of many bathrooms features a double sink with swanky silver taps.
She sleeps on a black modern four poster bed with stylish cushions piled high and modern art work on the walls.
Downstairs is the living room with comfy grey sofas and numerous throws and a quirky slate table in front of the modern fire place.
Kady’s kitchen is all white with floating island and breakfast bar alongside folding doors which open out onto her perfectly maintained garden.
Outdoors there is an ample seating area with huge cream cushions and sun loungers as well as a fire pit.
The former Islander finished in third place with ex-boyfriend Scott Thomas, 34, in 2016 while the now married couple Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde won the £50,000 prize.
After a string of failed romances including with Aston Villa footballer Matty Cash, ex-TOWIE star Myles Barnett, and Scott, who she lived with in Manchester until their 2017 split, Kady is hoping to find love once again in the villa, where she arrives this week as a shock bombshell.

She follows in Adam Collard‘s footsteps after he returned to the show last year following his 2018 stint, as well as Jessie Wynter, who starred on the Australian series but made an appearance on the UK winter season in February.
Bosses are hoping that Kady’s fiery personality and her desire to finally find a man now that she’s older and more mature will make her the perfect Islander to shake up the current series.
A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Kady was a fantastic Islander in 2016. She made brilliant television and bosses are hoping she can recreate the same magic in the villa this summer.
‘She’s also still looking for love so for Kady the hope is that she can finally find the man of her dreams.

‘Olivia and Alex and Nathan and Cara from her series are happy, in love, and even have families of their own. Kady, especially now she’s older and wiser when it comes to dating, is longing for the same fairytale ending.’
Kady’s Love Island series saw the likes of Olivia and Alex Bowen, who are now married and share baby Abel together, meet for the first time.
Love Island hit the headlines in season two when former contestant Zara Holland was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title after she had sex with Alex on TV, sparking controversy among the pageant community, who were accused of having outdated and antifeminist views.
Kady and Zara were love rivals in the villa after both vying for Scott’s attention but in the end, it was Kady who won over his heart.
The couple were together for over a year, with Kady moving to Manchester to be with Scott, whose brothers are soap actors Ryan, famed for his role on Coronation Street and Adam, who starred on Emmerdale.
Scott now runs his own talent agency, The Social PR, and he hasn’t publicly dated anyone since Kady.

Kady enters the villa hot on the heels of bombshells Charlotte Sumner and Leah Taylor, who dated the Islanders of their choice over a candlelit dinner on Monday night’s show.
Last week, George Fensom became the first Islander to be dumped after two of his ex-partners alleged that he exhibited controlling behaviour in past relationships.
Homophobic tweets were also found on George’s Twitter account that were posted when he was 15 years old, sparking further outcry from fans that he was not a suitable choice for the series.
Beautician Ruchee Gurung was second to leave the villa this week after the cast chose to save model Ella Thomas over her during a brutal recoupling.
During Thursday night’s show, footballer Scott Van Der Sluis entered the villa, dating Jess Harding after she won ‘woman of the match’ during a game of ‘She’s a Keeper.’
Scott is reportedly the ex-partner of 2022 Islander Paige Thorne, who last year fell for Jacques O’Neill and Adam Collard.
