Love Island star warned to 'cover up' by ITV bosses after 'boob flash' in villa

Abigail Rawlings says she was warned by ITV to 'cover up' after she 'flashed her boob' on Love Island.

The tattooist, 28, made her debut on the show in 2021 and lasted 19 days in the villa.

During her stint, Abigail said the girls were told by producers to 'never be fully nude'.

However, on one occasion she suffered a wardrobe malfunction.

She revealed: "I remember I was sat doing my makeup once and I had my towel and it just fell down a little bit.

"It's all girls so it doesn't really matter but over the speaker they were like 'Abi, can you put your towel on properly please?' And I was like 'Oops, sorry'."

Abi explained that despite the no nudity rule, "girls did it anyway", claiming a clip did air in which Faye Winter's boob 'could be seen in the mirror'.

"I think they [ ITV ] would just say don't because it's annoying for them if they miss anything as we would just chitchat all the time," she told the Daily Star.

Abi went on Love Island as a bombshell, saying she 'point blank refused' to be a Casa Amor girl.

Claiming she wasn't "cut out" for the role, the influencer said her "heart sank" when bosses suggest she make her debut in the second villa.

However, Abi says she 'kicked off' until she was given bombshell status and urged any other contestant not happy with their role to do the same.

After flirting up a storm under the Spanish sun, the tattoo artist hit it off with Toby Aromolaran, leaving Chloe Burrows dumped.

However, Toby ditched Abi for Mary Bedford, before changing his mind completely and reuniting with Chloe, leaving Abi with fellow newcomer Dale Mehmet.

They were dumped from the villa on day 46, and since leaving the show, Abi confessed the former couple were “not a thing” and never continued their romance.

Speaking to FUBAR Radio, she told hosts Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng that she was “just really good friends” with the Islander, and even tattooed him.

Millie Court also said she wanted Abi to tattoo her, telling the Daily Mail: "Yeah, I’m getting a red love heart on the back of my arm. Me and Mary [Bedford], Chloe was going to get one as well.

“If Abi can do it for us - 100%. She’s a great tattoo artist. I’d love that.”

After her rollercoaster ride on the smash-hit dating show, Abi concluded: “When people ask ‘what is your goal in life?’, one of mine is to meet as many people as I can and make as many friendships and connections with people and not necessarily just here but all over the world."
