Abigail Rawlings tells all on the reality of entering the LoveIsland villa, including how those promotional pictures are taken
While Love Island contestants may be known for their incredible looks, the show has become notorious for its official pictures of the Islanders. Over the years, fans have been left baffled time and time again when the show has released a picture of a new contestant, only for the snap to look completely different to the person’s Instagram profile.
But 23 days later, I was still in my holding villa. I was only interested in going after Toby but he’d been in a solid couple, so up until that point there hadn’t been a good time for me to enter. As I’d been waiting for so long, it was suggested that I enter during Casa Amor. I said that I’d rather go home than continue to wait, so I started looking at flights back home until my chaperone told me I was entering the villa that day.
The photographer told me to smile and gave me some poses to do which included me making a love heart with my hand. As soon as they told me to do that I was like ‘oh, great’ because I knew that’d be the shot that would get used — it did. I then made some GIFs for Instagram and was told to wag my finger and blow a kiss. In less than 10 minutes it was over and I put my clothes back on. It was a hot, sweaty mess and wasn’t very enjoyable at all.
