The aunt of Love Island contestant Gabby Jeffrey says she "smashed" her time on the show and has helped inspire her to pen three books.
Geordie author Jo Lyons released her third romantic comedy at the same time her 24-year-old niece Gabby was entering the villa. The 52-year-old admits that she has previously observed Gabby's behaviour while creating characters in her novels.
Gabby, who works as an Assistant Creative Stylist for Pretty Little Thing, recently appeared as a Casa Amor girl on the ITV show. She wasn't selected during the recoupling and left on Wednesday.
