Love Island Star's Body Image Battle Revealed
18 Nov
Summary
- Gabby McCarthy battled lifelong body image issues.
- She considered breast reduction at 15 due to insecurity.
- Gabby developed an eating disorder at a young age.

Love Island's Gabby McCarthy has bravely shared her extensive history of body image struggles, particularly in light of recent online commentary about her G-cup breasts. The 21-year-old Gold Coast content creator expressed how painful it is to have her body judged, stating that the accusations of her not being genuine about her physique have been 'awful.'
McCarthy disclosed that her insecurities ran so deep that she investigated breast reduction options at just 15 years old. The pressure to conform to certain physical ideals, stemming from her upbringing in theatre and dance, also led her to develop an eating disorder around the age of seven. Her body and breast size fluctuated significantly during this period.
Fortunately, Gabby has since sought help and embraced self-acceptance, crediting her support system for her newfound confidence. She humorously plans to get an X-ray post-show to prove her breasts are natural. Viewers have taken to social media to praise her authenticity and presence on the show.
