Love Island’s Abi avoids awkward red carpet run-in with Ella B and Mitch after tense reunion
LOVE Island beauty Abi Moores avoided an awkward red carpet run-in with Ella Barnes and Mitchel Taylor after the explosive reunion show.
Abi, 25, finally got to have her say on Sunday’s Love Island Reunion show – where she branded Mitch a “gaslighter”.
In an awkward sit-down chat, hosted by Maya Jama, Abi admitted that in hindsight she feels that her relationship with Mitch was stronger than the one he has currently with Ella B.
They trio have not been in the same room since that fiery exchange and last night they suffered a close run-in when they attended a PrettyLittleThings launch party, followed by an event hosted by cosmetics brand Maybelline.
Flight attendant Abi looked stunning in a strapless black mini dress, with a pair of cowboy boots and a chunky silver necklace.
She wore her blonde hair in a low ponytail and showed off her golden tan in the sexy ensemble.
While Ella B opted for a denim mini skirt and crop top, teamed with beige suede boots and Mitch went casual in a black t-shirt and blue jeans
Abi was all smile as she posed for photos and was joined by fellow co-star and Casa Amor beauty Amber Wise.
Mitch and Ella B also beamed for snaps with their arm around each other.
Despite being at the same venue, it looks like they managed to avoid bumping into each other and kept their distance.
It comes after Abi admitted her villa journey wasn’t always easy after being “gaslit” and “picked on”, leaving her debating whether to quit the show entirely.
But Abi said she is glad that producers didn’t step in – saying it’s an important issue that needs to be shown on TV, in a bid to help other people in similar situations.
It comes after 913 furious viewers complained to the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom after Mitchel Taylor took relentless potshots at Abi after their brief partnership came to an end.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Abi said: “It was a really good opportunity for me to show everyone that this is never going to happen and to take the opportunity that this is live and it can’t get cut.
“I was torn down by the experience, you could see me getting weaker throughout. Coming home, I stepped back from it and thought ‘I’m not going to be treated that way’.
“I went to that reunion fighting, I’m no longer going to take your s*** and I feel much stronger.”
The Hampshire-based beauty continued: “Calling him a gaslighter, you can’t go back – I’ve been able to squash what I wanted to squash and to show that there is no interest there.
“It all comes down to the fact that I still think he likes me, the energy I got was like at school when a boy fancies a girl and they’re pulling your pigtails.
“I wouldn’t use the word bullying as that’s such an intense word and shouldn’t be thrown around.
“He did treat me unfairly – I’d probably say picked on me is the terminology, I felt picked on.
“He was picking on me was to try and control my relationship with Scott.
“The way he was in there, a lot of the time, he would say something to me and then when I would say, ‘oh you’ve said this’, he would be like ‘no I didn’t’.
“That is gaslighting, when you’re denying and making me question and he would say ‘if I don’t remember saying it, then I never said it’.”
