The former Les Quennevais pupil made the news earlier this year when after she swapped the temperate climate of Jersey for the sandy, tropical shores of the Indonesian island and set up her own business selling the mermaid- styled fins online last year.

The sequined creations work underwater and allow wearers to swim like a mermaid.

Since Miss Etienne, who creates the fins by hand and sells them worldwide through her website, set up the company, the business has gone from strength to strength.

During a recent visit to the Island to see friends and family the business woman got her friend Nicola Booth to model the fins at Portelet Bay.

She said her business is doing well and has recently been given an Indonesian license that allows her to rent the fins in Bali to holiday-makers who can then have their own photoshoots done.

‘I think by end of next high season it will be the biggest thing in Bali,’ she said.
