April, 32, who was seen preparing to marry financial advisor George earlier this week on Married At First Sight UK, revealed her strange hobby on the show.
She hinted at being part of the Women's Gliding Association during her introduction, as she explained her unusual pastime.
After revealing she had won the Miss Great Britain pageant title, she said: "I'm learning to fly a plane! I believe that we've got one life, so live it. I want to do as much as I can."
Pinning an old post she made to her social media followers, the beauty queen gave fans a closer look at her passion for aviation in a video clip.

"In what is predominately a male dominated industry I found a love for aviation after my first flight," she wrote under the video, which saw her flying and performing loops in the air.
"The adrenaline I got from it made want more, especially as women are rarely spoken about in aviation. I can't wait to hopefully have my licence by the summer time."
Fans took to the comments of the post to gush over the "amazing" skill - with one writing: "Oh this is brilliant! So cool."
Another chimed in alongside clapping emojis: "This is so inspiring and incredible April. Such an amazing achievement."

Elsewhere on the first show last night, April revealed her reasons for taking part in the dating experiment on E4.
"I never get chatted up in a bar," she said. “Men do not approach me ordinarily, which is why I turned to online dating.”
The Ms GB winner - who was crowned in 2020 - has also appeared in The Cabins as well as The Bachelor in her quest for love.
She first began her career as a bridal dress designer, but left her job after the coronavirus pandemic cancelled weddings.
April explained: "Always the bridal designer, never the bride! I feel like that's the common thing that's always said to me. I want to be the bride!"
Last night, fans were left shocked after April and George's wedding - when he revealed he already had FOUR children.
After they tied the knot, the besotted couple had a chat in the garden during their wedding photos, as she asked if he had kids.
"I have four, " he said, nervously as April was left in a stunned silence. "Three girls and a man."
