Love Island's Abi has revealed she's had a few big name celebs slide into her DMs since going on the show.
While she didn't find love on the ITV2 dating show after getting dumped by 'Messy Mitchel' and then friend-zoned by Scott, Abi smiled as she said her love life is certainly looking up now she's back in the real world.
Asked by TV host Sam Thompson: "Have the DMs been popping? Have you been feeling the love since you came out?" A laughing Abi replied: "Do you know what to begin with, it was a load of love from a load of girls having my back and it was unreal."
She continued: "But yeah, now I've got a few like blue ticks sliding into the DMs." But she stopped short of saying who the famous people were when Sam urged her to "name them".
Holding her hands up, Abi told the audience: "No, no, no - no kiss and tells." Then in a surprise confession, she then turned to her co-star Jess, who won this year's summer Love Island series with boyfriend Sammy and said: "But I do know someone who is a member of the audience - Jess, you're little brother! A smiling Jess hit back: "Yeah, I know."

A fifth chimed in: "Nah Abi ATE that up tonight, had Mitch steaming up like ramen." While a sixth added: "The reunion didn't give much tonight but one thing it did give was Abi having her time to SPEAK, as our girl deserves."
