Ex-Islander Reveals Villa's Hidden Emotional Toll
29 Jan
Summary
- Gabby Allen shared insights into the intense emotional pressure within the Love Island villa.
- She explained how the isolated environment heightens emotions and stakes for contestants.
- Allen has moved on from Love Island, focusing on fitness and upcoming TV appearances.

Gabby Allen, winner of a past Love Island season, has offered her perspective on the current All Stars series, highlighting the often-underestimated emotional intensity of the villa.
Allen, who recently completed Celebrity SAS, noted that the isolated nature of the Love Island villa creates a unique environment where emotions are significantly heightened. She described how contestants are fully immersed in this 'bubble,' leading to elevated stakes and a strong desire to avoid being disliked, which can result in deeply humiliating experiences when things go wrong.
While sympathetic to the current cast, Allen has firmly shifted her focus away from Love Island. She is now dedicated to her fitness program, 'Shape Up with Gabby,' which offers tailored workout and diet plans. Furthermore, Allen is preparing for her next television appearance on the upcoming 15th series of Celebs Go Dating.
