Jess' Love Island co-stars gushed over the glamorous snap as she had a mini photoshoot in her lavish garden.
She slicked on some lippie as she posed in a sultry way for the camera.
"Check the link in my bio," she penned next to the jaw-dropping photo.
The star used her saucy image to promote the Black Lives Matter movement as she directed her followers to a 'Ways You Can Help' post.
Jess' incredibly racy photo comes after Ched confirmed he and his former flame have split, with lockdown being the blame for tearing them apart.
After coupling up later on in the first winter series, the pair became fan favourites and made it all the way to the final in February.

thedailymirror--2020-06-08--Priti Patel brands BLM protests illegal as 135 arrested and 35 police hurt

Home Secretary Priti Patel has said that Black Lives Matter protests are `` illegal '' as she updated MPs on the Government 's response to protests .
Ms Patel said that 135 protesters had been arrested and 35 police officers injured during protests .
Mostly peaceful protests took place in cities across the UK over the weekend , but a small number of rallies saw clashes between campaigners and police .
Ms Patel , making a statement to MPs , said any large gatherings of people are `` currently unlawful '' before adding : `` We can not afford to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of an unprecedented national health emergency that has tragically claimed more than 40,000 lives .
`` So the severe public health risk forces me to continue to urge the public not to attend future protests .
`` The Government 's scientific and medically-led advice remains clear and consistent - no matter how important the cause , protesting in large numbers at this exceptional time is illegal and doing so puts everyone 's lives at risk . ''
But MP 's clashed over the Government 's response to the protesters .
Labour 's Flo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said the government did not understand racial inequality .
Ms Patel rejected the claim and spoke about her own experience of racism .
She added : `` Well , on that basis , it must have been a very different Home Secretary who as a child was frequently called a Paki in the playground , a very different Home Secretary who was racially abused in the streets or even advised to drop her surname and use her husbands in order to advance her career .
`` A different Home Secretary recently characterised , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so , in the Guardian newspaper as a fat cow with a ring through its nose - something that was not only racist but offensive , both culturally and religiously . ''
Labour 's Nick Thomas-Symonds told the Commons said that MPs could n't ignore the demands of protesters for change .
He said : `` We can not allow this moment of global demand for justice to pass without action and we on these benches will be at the forefront of calls for change .
`` What is never the solution , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` The vast majority of protesters are peaceful , but some of the actions we have seen from a minority are unacceptable .
`` I condemn those who have attacked the police and I want to pay tribute to the police officers putting themselves in harm ’ s way over the weekend . ''
Ms Patel said that people responsible for criminal damage or attacks on police officers would face repercussions .
She said : `` As the ugly tally of officer assaults show , some protesters regrettably turned to violence and abusive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is utterly indefensible .
`` There is no justification for it . ''
Ms Patel linked those who tore down a statue of a slave owner in Bristol with those who had attacked police officers , describing them both as a `` mob '' .
She said : `` The criminals responsible for these unlawful and reckless acts are betraying the very cause they purport to serve .
`` These protests are about injustice but by attacking our courageous police , they are acting in a wholly unjust way . ''

"The Government's scientific and medically-led advice remains clear and consistent - no matter how important the cause, protesting in large numbers at this exceptional time is illegal and doing so puts everyone's lives at risk."
But MP's clashed over the Government's response to the protesters.
Labour's Flo Eshalomi challenged Ms Patel's account and said the government did not understand racial inequality.
Ms Patel rejected the claim and spoke about her own experience of racism.
She added: "Well, on that basis, it must have been a very different Home Secretary who as a child was frequently called a Paki in the playground, a very different Home Secretary who was racially abused in the streets or even advised to drop her surname and use her husbands in order to advance her career.

Labour's Nick Thomas-Symonds told the Commons said that MPs couldn't ignore the demands of protesters for change.
He said: "We cannot allow this moment of global demand for justice to pass without action and we on these benches will be at the forefront of calls for change.
"What is never the solution, though, is violence and vandalism.
"The vast majority of protesters are peaceful, but some of the actions we have seen from a minority are unacceptable.
"I condemn those who have attacked the police and I want to pay tribute to the police officers putting themselves in harm’s way over the weekend."
Ms Patel said that people responsible for criminal damage or attacks on police officers would face repercussions.
She said: "As the ugly tally of officer assaults show, some protesters regrettably turned to violence and abusive behaviour at the weekend. This hooliganism is utterly indefensible.
"There is no justification for it."
Ms Patel linked those who tore down a statue of a slave owner in Bristol with those who had attacked police officers, describing them both as a "mob".

According to StepChange, people with an income of less than £30,000 are particularly likely to have fallen behind or borrowed to make ends meet.
The charity said that while temporary measures are in place to give relief to borrowers, longer-term measures are needed to protect struggling households against unaffordable repayment demands.
StepChange Debt Charity chief executive Phil Andrew said: "We were already dealing with a debt crisis, but Covid has so far added another four million people and counting to the number who are going to need help finding their way back to financial health.
"With £6 billion of additional household debt directly attributable to the effects of the pandemic, this is a problem that isn't going to solve itself."
Iain Porter, policy and partnerships manager at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, said: "Rising costs and increased bills, combined with disruption to food banks and advice teams, mean some families are really struggling to keep their heads above water."
It came as a seperate study found around two-fifths of high-income working-age families have strengthened their household budgets since the coronavirus crisis started, compared with just one in eight households on low incomes, research has found.
Some 38% of those on the highest fifth of incomes have seen their spending reduced while their incomes have remained the same or even grown, enabling them to strengthen their overall household budget, the Resolution Foundation said.
In what the Foundation described as a "big divide" in how families' household budgets are faring, just 12% of those in the lowest income fifth have been able to strengthen their budgets.
More than half (57%) of the richest fifth of families have been able to reduce their spending since the crisis began, including one in 10 (10%) who have cut their spending by more a quarter.
By contrast, less than a third (30%) of the poorest fifth of households have managed to cut their spending.
People in the low income bracket are nearly as likely to have increased their spending during the crisis (27%) as they are to have reduced it, the Foundation said.
Poorer households are much more likely to say that their ability to manage financially has worsened than improved (37% compared with 10%).
Those in the top fifth meanwhile are about as likely to say their position has improved as they are that it has worsened (23% compared with 22%).
The research was based on a survey of more than 6,000 people in May.
Laura Gardiner, research director at the Resolution Foundation, said: "Many high-income families have reduced their spending in recent months.
"Those on lower incomes, however, have found it far harder to reduce spending which, when combined with income falls, means many are seeing their ability to manage financially deteriorate.
"As policymakers prepare their plan to support Britain's recovery, they must prioritise strengthening the family finances of low- to middle-income households."

Lucy and Martha signed up to the Pick For Britain campaign, which is helping to save the farming industry
British girls reveal the REAL story about being a fruit picker in the UK right now
The UK’s farms are crying out for fit and healthy temporary workers to keep them going and to help deliver the best quality fruit and veg to the UK.
Pick For Britain is a national campaign, bringing workers and employers together to match skills and need to help save the farming industry.
The campaign brings all recruiters and those seeking work in one place, from pickers and packers, to plant husbandry and tractor or forklift drivers.
Pick for Britain is the perfect chance to pass the summer months and earn money if you’re a university student, a way to continue working if you’re on furlough and a great way to meet new people and be part of an extraordinary national effort to get seasonal food on people’s plates.
One British worker who has signed up to work is Lucy, who lives in London. She was travelling in sub-Saharan Africa when the coronavirus crisis began to unfold so returned home and is now doing her bit to Britain in the need for food.
She said: "I’m working on one of the iceberg lettuce rigs. I’m staying on site and it’s great - really really enjoying it.
"it’s a great team atmosphere. You move with the rig across the field, you have to keep up with the pace that the guys are picking it at – it's great fun and I’m glad to be doing something useful with my time.
"I would 100% recommend it to somebody else. I’m having a really good time, the people are really nice, and it’s nice to be out in the open air and doing something physical."

Pay depends on your employer and the job you do. You may be paid a set hourly rate or a piece rate which varies depending upon how much you pick. However, you will always be paid the national minimum/living wage for the average of the hours that you work in a pay period. This is government advice for England only.
Martha, 19, from Cambridge, is another Brit who has joined the Pick for Britain initative. She was on a gap year trying to save money when the chance to work came up.
She admitted she was apprehensive at first - but found a great atmosphere on her farm.
She said: "It’s nice after spending weeks alone not doing anything. I'm meeting new people.
"I was tired at the end of my first day. I was exhausted a lot more than I thought I’d be – but that's a positive.
"I’d definitely recommend it - people here have been really enjoying it and doing a really good job."

5 clever tricks to get your picky child to eat fruits and vegetables
There’s huge range of delicious in-season fruit and vegetables available at the moment just waiting to be eaten.
You can dine like a king on fresh apples, pears, berries, plums, damsons and gooseberries.
Or feast on tasty veg such as asparagus, cucumbers, mushrooms, courgette, spinach, tomatoes and radishes.
They're all fantastic, healthy choices which are perfect for creating yummy meals that should appeal to the whole family.
But if - like many parents out there - you've got a pint-sized picky eater on your hands, it isn't always that easy to persuade them to tuck in at meal times.
So we've pulled together five great hacks which should help to get your little ones eating fruits and vegetables in no time. This is government advice for England only.
1. Add this one thing - a bit of butter
Almost everything tastes better with butter, right? But there's actually some science behind this trick.
Lots of vegetables are bitter and young palettes are actually extra sensitive to this kind of flavour.
A small knob of butter can take this away and turn your veg into a triumph.
And believe it or not, butter is actually a good source of vitamins A, E, and D3, which are important for growing kids.
2. Serve things which are in-season - they taste sooo much better
Marion Regan is managing director of Hugh Lowe Farms, a family run soft fruit farm established more than 125 years ago in Mereworth, Kent.
She says: “Eating seasonally makes sense from a sustainability and environmental point of view.
"Really seasonal food is about quality food. When something is ‘in season’, it is at its absolute best, from the point of view of flavour, texture, sweetness and usually price too. Freshness is key to flavour – seasonal fruit is fresher and less travelled.”
Knowing where to start with seasonal fruit and veg can be daunting if you’re not used to it so it’s worth looking around for easy recipes to start with. Look for a list of seasonal veg at www.vegpower.org.uk/seasonalveg and get creative.
3. Turn vegetables into a starter
We're never hungrier than when we've just sat down at the table and are waiting for our food to arrive - and the same goes for kids.
Take advantage of that famished frenzy by serving a first course of vegetables.
Serve raw or roast to bring out their natural sweetness, and consider serving with a dip to spice things up.
4. Tell them where their fruit and veg comes from
Knowing where your food comes from and supporting those who provide it is important - for both parents and kids alike.
Make meals times interesting by showing your children where the items on their plate come from on a map - such as the one above.
There are so many reasons why supporting local producers is important, from the way the landscape works, to the need to reduce food miles and the importance of keeping the local economy strong.
5. Try blending fruit and veg into smoothies
A recent US study found children aged three to five can almost DOUBLE their daily veg consumption if served them pureed rather than whole.
You can either serve these in a glass - or blitz them and add to recipes. Some parents have had joy blending carrots to put in spaghetti sauce or popping sweet potatoes into pancake mix.
Your little ones won't suspect a thing...
