It’s been a whirlwind since Gabby Allen left the villa after being crowned Love Island All Stars winner alongside Casey O’Gorman.
And now the reality star, 33, has revealed motherhood is on her mind and she plans to freeze her eggs to give herself more ‘security’ in having children in the future.
The fitness influencer, who is yet to officially label herself ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’ in her relationship with Casey, admitted she hasn’t discussed having children with the 28-year-old.
Speaking to OK! Magazine she explained: ‘A woman’s body clock isn’t always reliable. So I’ve decided that freezing my eggs gives me security.’
Revealing she also suffers from PCOS, she said at one point doctors thought she might have a tumour in her pituitary gland as he prolactin levels were so high.
She added: ‘Luckily, they didn’t find anything, but my gyno told me that freezing my eggs would be the safest option. I really want children, but having PCOS, egg freezing gives me a back-up plan – whether I end up in a relationship or as a badᴀss single mum.’

Yet her and Casey haven’t discussed having a family together as she admitted the pair don’t want to get sucked into the pressures that come after finding love on the ITV reality show.
Gabby also opened up about her long battle with scoliosis after she was diagnosed with the life-changing condition at just 11-years-old.
After her mum noticed her back was wonky while on holiday, Gabby then underwent a gruelling 10 hour operation which saw her have six ribs removed and metal rods, nuts and bolts inserted into her back.
She explained: ‘They said if I didn’t have an op, I might end up immobile and I was told I’d have a hunchback….I had to learn to walk again – never mind dance again.’
After a successful operation and recovery period Gabby was walking again after six months and was even dancing.
It isn’t the first time Gabby has spoken out about her health battle after she underwent a second boob in December 2023 after she revealed she ‘ruined her boobs’ after having the surgery first time around.
The reality star opted for the plastic surgery after her time in the Love Island villa back in 2017 as she revealed she was insecure about her small boobs and didn’t feel ‘pretty enough’ compared to her fellow islanders.
While Gabby explained that her first boob job mᴀssively boosted her confidence, she admitted she ruined her boobs by working out too quickly post-surgery and has been forced to have the procedure again.

Taking to her Instagram in January 2024 after her second boob job, the personal trainer joked: ‘Well put it this way, my left nipple was looking at the ceiling and my right nipple was looking at the wall.
‘My left boob was underneath my armpit and my right boob was sat all the way up here on my chest.’
She continued: ‘But in all seriousness my boobs had bottomed out which means they had come out of the pocket that had been made for them to sit in.
‘My left one was sitting two inches lower than my right and to be honest with you I wasn’t lying the nipple was pointing to the ceiling and it was tearing off underneath my armpit when I lay down.
‘The right boob wasn’t as bad as the left but it still wasn’t in the right place and this is all down to the aftercare.’
Gabby went on to reveal that first time around she did not know you needed to wear a post surgical bra after the surgery, and instead only wore a sports bra.
She urged fans to make sure they have thorough aftercare after such major surgery and also told fans to not work out after the procedure.
The fitness fanatic admitted she began working out too soon as she advised fans: ‘most importantly don’t work out too soon. Don’t be an idiot like me and put the risk of ruining your new beautiful boobs just for the sake of a workout.’
She continued: ‘So this time around I’m going to listen to myself as a personal trainer knowing what’s right for my body, take my own advice, take my doctor’s advice and use the next six weeks to heal, make a full recovery and make the comeback better than the setback.’
What is scoliosis?
Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine in an S-shape.
Signs include a visible curve in the spine, one shoulder or hip being more prominent than the other, clothes not hanging properly and back pain.
Pain usually only affects adults with the condition.
In most cases, the cause of the scoliosis is not known but it can be caused by cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.
In the UK, scoliosis affects three to four children could of every 1,000.
It is also thought that as many as 70 per cent of over 65s have some degree of scoliosis.
It is more common in women than in men.
Most children with the condition do not require treatment as it is mild and corrects itself as the child grows.
However, in severe cases the child may need to wear a back brace until they stop growing.
Occasionally, a child needs surgery to straighten their spine.
In adults, it is usually too late to treat the condition with a back brace or surgery so treatment revolves around reducing pain.
