PREGNANT Love Island star Rachel Finni tried to treat herself to a mummy makeover day – but opted out of some of the more ‘terrifying prep’ of giving birth.
Rachel, who appeared on the 2021 series, has been very honest about the ups and downs of her pregnancy – and as she waits for her first baby to arrive.

In new posts on Instagram, Rachel shared a picture from an elevator, covering her face with an emoji as she declared she was having a “mummy makeover day”.
With her hair wrapped up in a towel, Rachel’s baby bump was on clear display as she wore an oversize hoodie and tracksuit for her trip to the salon.
She jokingly wrote alongside it: “TMI: Words cannot express how terrified I am to get waxed again.”
Unfortunately, her plans to get a wax, manicure and pedicure were eventually scrapped, with Rachel saying she was “too tired” after getting her hair done.
She wrote on a selfie on her resting her head in her hands: “I’m headed home to have a bowl of cereal, hot water bottle and a nap instead.”
Rachel later added: “I feel so unproductive and like I’ve wasted the day, and it was nice to have one day to myself considering the last month sorting out my flat, putting together furniture at nine months pregnant.
“One day for myself, and I couldn’t even do it because of so much physical discomfort I’m in.”
Determined to stay positive, Rachel said: “This isn’t ‘woe is me’, it’s like… I just hate how my mind works.”
Rachel officially announced online she was expecting her first baby in January – and was already far along in the pregnancy.
She shared an adorable video of her baby bump alongside the music What A Wonderful World.
While Rachel is clearly excited about welcoming her baby, she’s also been open to discussing the unexpected highs and lows she’s faced while her baby was growing.
Among the symptoms, Rachel has dealt with hypersalivation – which left her constantly drooling – and struggling to deal with the smell of apples, hair loss and near-constant nausea.
Rachel has opted to keep her baby daddy away from the public eye, and has not revealed the tot’s gender.
