CARA Delahoyde-Massey has revealed that she's planning on pulling her kids from school to live abroad in a shock move.
The 34-year-old appeared on the second series of the ITV dating show, and won alongside now husband Nathan Massey, but has now had enough of UK.
Speaking on The School Runway podcast, the former reality star said she's planning on moving to Portugal by next summer with her family.
The-mum-of-two said she is "so done with this country" and wants a better life for her kids.
"It's not just a random place," Cara said, explaining that Nathan already having family there helped them make their decision to move.
"I know nowhere is completely safe and nowhere is idyllic," she continued, but noted that Nathan's cousins found it to be very safe as teens.

"It's not like here where you'd be terrified to let your children go out," she said.
The mum confessed that after going over there this summer they're already planning another trip for November to look at schools and different areas.
The family originally stayed in a friend's house when they visited and loved it so much they knew they wanted to put down their own roots there.
"It's just a nicer lifestyle, outside the weather's nicer all year, they can come home from school and not be on Fortnite and go out instead," she added.
The move is another step away from the spotlight for Cara, who previously revealed that she "spiralled" saying goodbye to her glamorous Love Island life after the birth of her first child.
Cara and Nathan welcomed their first child, a son named Freddie, in 2017, not long after they won the show.

She described him as a "happy mistake", but said that she was 27 at the time, which she feels was too young to have a child.
"If I had my time again I wouldn't start having kids until I was 30", she told the Made By Mammas podcast.
Cara revealed that after becoming pregnant, she began to "spiral", after learning that she would have to leave her glamorous lifestyle of wearing bikinis behind.
"I felt quite lost for a while", she said.
Cara said that she had to mute a lot of people on Instagram, as she felt upset seeing pictures of people all glammed up at events.
However, she revealed that one day she had an "epiphany".
"I thought, why am I trying to compete with all these people because that's not where I am in my life", she said.
During her pregnancy with Freddie, now 7, Cara and Nathan split up, as Cara was feeling lonely after moving to Essex, and she said that Nathan didn't understand her.
However, she said that this was the best thing that ever happened to them.
She said that they had just stayed together for work purposes and had been arguing a lot.
Cara felt that the baby had come to her for a reason, and was determined to keep the baby, even if it meant doing it alone.
However, after a baby scan the pair ended up sleeping together, and decided to get back together in secret.

Since then, the couple haven't looked back, and in 2019, they tied the knot.
A year later, in 2020, they welcomed a daughter named Delilah.
How easy is it to move to Europe after Brexit?
Moving to Europe from the UK post-Brexit is not as simple as it once was.
British citizens now need to apply for a visa to live and work in most EU countries, meaning it requires additional steps and paperwork compared to when the UK was a member of the EU.
According to Advance Moves, those considering moving to aboard from UK in 2025 ''will need to obtain a visa in order to be able to live in Spain after Brexit'''.
Currently you can only stay in Portugal for up to 90 days in any 180 day period, before you have to leave the EU zone.
You can then return again once the rest of the 180 day period has ended.
Although this may be ok for living in a holiday home over the colder winter months, anything more permanent will require a visa, the experts warned.
