She returned from a sun-soaked getaway to St Tropez, France earlier this month, before the UK Government’s air bridge with the country was scrapped. 

And Francesca Allen looked ready for autumn in a black jumper and skin-tight mini skirt as she drove to pick up a coffee in Loughton High Street, Essex on Tuesday, after avoiding a 14 day quarantine. 

The Love Island star, 24, kept things simple by opting for an all-black ensemble for her afternoon outing with her mum.

Francesca strolled along in thigh-high boots as she went shopping with a coffee in her hand. 

The reality star teamed her cropped jumper and stretchy mini skirt with semi-sheer black tights. 

The raven-haired beauty left her locks to hang down, and enhanced her natural beauty with a bronzed make-up look. 

Francesca finished her trip to the shops by helping her mum with a food shop and hopped in her car for a lift home.

Aside from her frequent getaways, Francesca was spotted cosying up to a new man during a boozy night out in London last month. 

She looked to be on cloud nine as she got up close and personal with Edward Crossan, vice chairman of London-based waste management company Powerday.

The TV personality, who is family friends with Edward, put on a very affectionate display with the hunk who was previously been linked to TOWIE’s Amber Turner.

In May last year, Edward was seen enjoying a jaunt on a yacht in Ibiza with TOWIE star Amber, 27, who is currently dating Dan Edgar. 

The accomplished businessman was named vice chairman of his father’s company in January and is featured on the company’s website.

His working title is described on the website as: ‘Edward joined the family business in 2007, starting as a machine driver and has worked in various roles within the company to now being a director overseeing the development of the business.’

MailOnline contacted Francesca’s representatives for further comment at the time of publication.
