Love Island star Gabby Allen has spoken out against cruel internet trolls who have targeted her physical appearance. The 26-year-old took to Instagram to address the abuse, which included comments about her breasts being likened to 'fried eggs', as well as being called 'fat', 'ugly', and 'trashy'.
In a series of posts, Allen thanked her supportive followers while calling out the trolls. She wrote: 'I have trolls constantly leaving horrible comments not just about my style, or lack of it, but the way I look. ... All I can say is wow. I feel literally empty, deflated. Hurt.'
She questioned whether being in the public eye means she no longer deserves respect, and urged trolls to consider if they would appreciate such remarks being directed at themselves. Allen also sarcastically suggested she might change her appearance with a boob job, liposuction, or even breaking her knees to make herself taller, but noted that 'some people will still be there to pick something else to scrutinise'.
This is not the first time Allen has faced such abuse; in August 2017, fans defended her after she was targeted for her physique while on Love Island. She concluded her message by advising followers to 'surround yourself with people who let you be who you are'.
