She was dumped from the island three weeks into the competition, which was eventually won by Kym Cetinay and Amber Davies.
Crowhurst dated season 1 contestant Jon Clark prior to appearing on the show. She shared earlier this year that it was a last-minute decision for her to agree to be on Love Island.
"I called the producers three hours before the flight, quit my job and they was at my house packing my bags for me before I even got home," she said on Scott McGlynn's Celebrity Skin Talk.
"I had no underwear packed or bikinis."
