Love Island: All Stars winner Samie Elishi has signed a deal to become W7 Cosmetics new brand ambassador as she distracts herself with work following her split from Ciaran Davies and amid her blossoming romance with Tyrique Hyde.
The British beauty brand worked with Samie following her first time on Love Island in 2023, so already had their eye on her for a bigger ambassadorship and were in discussions with her team while she was in the villa earlier this year.
The influencer, 26, put on a leggy display in a black blazer dressed as she posed for glamorous promotional shots to announce the new partnership.
In another shot, Samie wowed in a pink mesh £330 babydoll dress from Gilda & Pearl.
The photoshoot took place on her first week back from South Africa and included her favourite products from the brand including their Golden Glow Drops, Honolulu Bronzer and Sweet Dreams Overnight Lip Mask.
Sources tell Daily Mail that Samie’s W7 deal could get even bigger as talks are already taking place for her own product collection for later this year.

Samie told the Mail: ‘I’m really excited to be the official Ambassador for W7 Cosmetics. I’ve worked with the brand for around a year now and absolutely love their products, so it felt like the natural next step.  Â
‘The whole team is so lovely and we’re really excited to be working on some very exciting product launches together which will be revealed later this year!’Â
She will celebrate her new partnership with a lavish dinner party in London on Tuesday.
Samie has been in high demand since she won Love Island: All Stars series three with Ciaran, 23, but the pair split just three weeks after winning the £50,000 prize money.
And things have turned sour between the pair following Ciaran’s appearance on the Not My Bagg podcast this week.
Ciaran claimed that following a trip to Wales, where Samie met his family, that things became one-sided.
Then, just two days into Samie’s New York brand trip with Olivia Attwood, Ciaran claimed she called him, and that was the end of their relationship, with Ciaran insisting the split did not come from his side.
Samie has since hit back, stating in a video shared to her Instagram: ‘I want to start off by saying it’s actually a bit sad that someone who you once had a lot of respect for and saw in a certain light would go on a podcast and say you said things that you categorically did not.
‘We all know that they’re rumours and everyone that knows me knows that them things wouldn’t have come out of my mouth. So I wanted to clear that up for a start.
‘Secondly, girls it’s okay to call things off with someone that you’re talking to or dating.’

Samie and Ciaran received the £50,000 cash prize after winning All Stars but just three weeks after leaving the villa, the couple called time on their romanceÂ
Finally, Samie added: ‘Me and Ciaran were in the very early stages of dating and we got into the real world and it just didn’t work.
‘And that is absolutely fine, I don’t think anyone should be getting sick for it not working.’
Samie, who first appeared on the ninth season of Love Island in 2023, has since been growing close to fellow alum Tyrique, 26, from season ten.
They have been on several dates and according to sources are planning a trip away together.
Daily Mail’s Molly Clayton revealed that Samie’s connection with footballer Tyrique may have been brewing long before she ever decided to try her luck again on the All Stars version of the show.
Indeed, according to a source close to the situation, the cracks between Samie and Ciaran appeared almost immediately after the show wrapped.
‘Samie and Ciaran came out of Love Island and went to visit Wales almost instantly,’ the source said.
‘When they got there, Samie decided Ciaran wasn’t for her as he came from a small town. She realised their lives were too different.’
