Love Island’s Abigail Rawlings has revealed she refused to enter Casa Amor.
The series seven star, 28, opened up about her time in the villa exclusively to the Daily Star during an Instagram Live.
Tattooist Abi announced that she was asked to be a Casa Amor girl in 2021, but refused as she “wasn’t cut out for it”.

The TV beauty said: “I am not made for Casa, I haven’t got it in me. No, I needed to be placed in there when I already have a spot.
“I really feel for the Casa girls, they really have to sell themselves and have to be so full-on as only have a short amount of time.
“But I hate the fact some girls put down the current girl they’re coupled with to make themselves look better.”
She continued: “That is not a bit of me and I would be there like ‘Hi, your girl is lovely, she’s beautiful.’
“I ain’t getting brought back, I would be giving them marriage advice.”
Abigail revealed that she told producers directly at the start that she would not go forward with her Love Island journey if she was going to be a Casa Amor bombshell.
She explained: “I said from the beginning ‘Do not put me in Casa Amor, do not waste either of our times.’
“So when they said it I was like ‘Get me a flight home’.”
The TV star went on to say how she “threw her toys out of the pram” and “kicked off” to get her own way.
Producers even tricked her into thinking she was going home and asked her what flights she would prefer to get on, and even handed her phone back to her, before giving in.
Sharing tips for other Islanders in the same situation, Abigail advised: “Just kick off, call their bluff, they will make you think you are going home, they will give you your phone back and everything.”
She also described her entry as an “emotional rollercoaster” and was messed around until she got her foot in the villa door.
Abigail said: “When they said about Casa Amor, my heart sunk and I was like ‘What a waste of my time’.

“Then they changed their minds and I got ready in the morning and they were like ‘We can’t place you yet, you have to wait.’ And I didn’t get placed until 2am.
“The whole day I had to top up my make up it looked so cakey by the end of it.
“I saw one of the crews phones and I saw the time, that night they had a party and a dumping as well, and by time we got to bed it had started to get light outside.”
