Love Island bosses have reportedly signed up another celebrity bombshell.
Abbie Quinnen, the ex-girlfriend of former Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard, is said to be getting ready to enter the famous villa in a bid to find love.
Dancer Abbie, 27, already has links to the ITV2 dating show through AJ’s brother Curtis Pritchard, who came fourth place with Maura Higgins back in 2019.

A source told The Sun said: “Abbie has become well-known in her own right and after her break up with AJ she fancied a fresh chance at love. She has been in talks with Love Island for weeks over being a bombshell and has said she can’t wait to dive in and mix things up.”

AJ, 29, and Abbie split in 2022 after four years together. It came she suffered serious burns when a viral social media stunt went wrong. She was also recently linked with Love Island’s Billy Brown, who appeared on the 2022 series of the show.
On a recent episode of Celebrity Skin Talk, hosted by Scott McGlynn, Abbie revealed what had really been going on. Skincare expert Scott asked her: “Tell me about this new romance with Billy…”

Abbie laughed: “What new romance? People have been saying I’m with Billy Brown from Love Island but I can confirm I’m not. We’re just friends, we’ve never been on a date, and we have been out to party a couple of times. He’s a lovely boy and very good looking but he’s a bit young, I don’t think he’s boyfriend material.
“He just wants to live his best life but he’s the loveliest person, though I’ve only met him a few times.” Scott then cheekily added: “You make a cute item, I haven’t seen you so I thought you were together.”

Abbie responded: “We go to the same events, we have the same friends, but no, we’re just friends. “I am single, very much single.” She won’t be the only famous face in the villa as viewers watched TOWIE legend Joey Essex enter the villa during Monday’s (June 3) launch episode.
