While Love Island contestants may be known for their incredible looks, the show has become notorious for its official pictures of the Islanders. Over the years, fans have been left baffled time and time again when the show has released a picture of a new contestant, only for the snap to look completely different to the person’s Instagram profile. And season seven star Abigail Rawlings knows the feeling all too well.
After appearing on the show as a bombshell in 2021, which saw her couple up with Toby Aromolaran, the star has opened up about what actually happens behind the scenes of those Love Island pictures. From shipping containers to cringe-inducing poses, tattoo artist Abigail reveals all to OK!... “I was never that desperate to go on Love Island.
It was always something that felt like something fun to do, but I wasn’t someone who’d always dreamed of going on the show. As a result, when I was told that I’d be entering the villa as the first bombshell I was over the moon. But 23 days later, I was still in my holding villa.
I was only interested in going after Toby but he’d been in a solid couple, so up until that point there hadn’t been a good time for me to enter. As I’d been waiting for so long, it was suggested that I enter during Casa Amor. I said that I’d rather go home than continue to wait, so I started looking at flights back home until my chaperone told me I was entering the villa that day.That morning, I was taken to Love Island HQ and got myself ready and packed all of my belongings into a branded Love Island suitcase.
