ONE of Love Island's most controversial stars has revealed she is getting married - nine years on from being kicked out of the villa for her violent antics.
Malia Arkian, was booted from the villa in Majorca after just a few hours during the show's second series in 2016.
She has become one of a very limited number of stars axed by producers for their conduct with the wannabe Islander's vicious scrap with Kady McDermott the leading cause.
Viewers of Love Island will remember how Malia sparked a violent clash with Kady after she accused her co-star of deliberately spilling a drink on her.
In fact, Kady had accidentally spilled some of her drink which went on to splash on Malia's leg.
However, seconds later, Malia squared up to Kady and began a fight.
Nine years on from her failed TV fame, she appears to have found love without the dating programme.
She revealed on Instagram that she had celebrated her hen do with her bridesmaids ahead of her impending wedding.
Malia posted a snap alongside her bridesmaids with the caption: "The best day #bridesmaidsquad."
She wore a white mini-dress for the occasion with her pals all donning party headbands emblazoned with the word "bridesmaid".
A balloon and floral decoration also appeared to give away that Malia will be tying the knot next June.
Malia is engaged to her footballer fiancé Hope Akpan, who plays midfield for Atherton Laburnum Rovers.

Love Island's big bust-up
Malia was removed from the villa after just a few hours in 2016 thanks to her fiery altercation with Kady McDermott.
The Manchester native had been on a date with Scott Thomas - who had been getting close with Kady in the days prior.
It left Kady feeling on edge as Scott failed to reassure her following his date with Malia.
Kady and Scott began to row but things later settled down as Malia went to chat to the girls.
Kady then made the effort to sit next to Malia to make her feel welcome and included but things soon went awry.
As Kady then accidently dropped her drink, causing it to splash on Malia's leg, Malia stood up enraged and asked: "Did you do that on purpose?"
Malia then began screaming to a bewildered group of Islanders as she insisted "you don't do that with me!"
As Kady began to defend herself and argue back, Malia soon got handsy as she turned the altercation physical before being thrown out.
