Ex Love Island star Abi Rawlings is sticking by her choices on the show.
Abi spoke out after was dumped from the villa with Dale Mehmet in Monday night’s episode.
The pair found themselves among six islanders – including Kaz Kamwi and Jake Cornish – who were voted least favourite by the public vote.
Before her exit she was briefly coupled up with Toby before he left for Casa Amor only for him to shock everyone by recoupling with new bombshell Mary Bedford while she decided to stay loyal.
However, even though she was pied off on national TV by the guy, Abi would choose him again.
She said after leaving the villa: ‘I’m such a one man woman. I was fully aware that me and Toby hadn’t connected properly yet and I knew that holding out for him was a risk but that’s why I don’t blame him for bringing back Mary.
‘Why would he not? The question is why did I not?

‘For me, I knew that if I re-coupled it would have just been to play safe and stay in the Villa. I don’t regret it, I’d do it all over again. I’m really happy that I stuck to what I thought was right for me.’
And she’s really happy to see Toby back together with his former love interest. No, not Mary but Chloe, who he briefly flirted with before leaving for Casa Amor.

Abi said: ‘I’m happy to have been part of his journey and he and Chloe are so happy together now. They are literally besotted with each other. I don’t think you can fake what they’ve got.
‘I think because my feelings weren’t deep with Toby, the second he told me [he still liked Chloe] it was like a switch just went.

‘I couldn’t help but find it endearing. When you get to know Toby, it’s so Toby! He’s on his journey and he’s learning, he’s making mistakes and he’s taking them on board.
‘I appreciate self-growth more than anything. He’s only 22.’
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
