Love Island star Abi looks very different with pink hair and not a tattoo in sight

Love Island's Abigail Rawlings is known for her brunette mane and epic ink collection, but in throwback snaps which have just surfaced she's sporting pink hair and not a tattoo in sight.

The Bournemouth-based beauty – who has just coupled up with Dale in the villa - loves to show off her long locks on the show, but in 2016 Abi was sporting a rose-coloured bob.

Looking a world away from the polished bombshell fans know today, the tattoo artist can be seen posing for the camera with a pink cropped cut in which she appears almost unrecognisable.

Abi also doesn't appear to be tattooed in the photo making a stark contrast from the impressive ink collection she now boasts.

Among the 27-year-old's tattoos is a portrait of her French Bulldog Zeus, which she designed herself, on her ankle and described how it is her "favourite" work of art.

She also has roman numerals "IV", meaning four, underneath the portrait of her pup.

Captioning the finished design on Instagram, she wrote: "Today I decided it was time I tattooed my favourite little man on myself.

"As much as it sucks self inflicting pain on yourself, it’s definitely just become my favourite tattoo I’ve got."

Abi also has a rose design on her right shoulder and forearm with the word "grateful" inked on her skin among the floral flourish.

Someone who is most certainly not grateful Abi is in the villa is Love Island contestant Mary Bedford, who was left fuming after she coupled with Dale last night.

Love Island fans vented their anger at Mary after her frustrated reaction to rival coupling up with the man she had her eye on.

The blonde bombshell had been hoping to bag the Scotsman in last night’s new re-coupling.

But single Abi beat her to the punch and grabbed the hunky barber for herself as a shell-shocked Mary was left baffled as to what she would do next.

“What the f**k am I supposed to say now?” moaned Mary to Tyler Cruickshank and Clarisse Juliette after seeing Abi nab Dale in the re-coupling.

She added: “What the f**k? I think I’m going to cry.”

Mary clapped as Abi and Dale embraced by the fire pit, but Twitter fans berated her for failing to hide her frustration and being “rude”.

“Mary is kinda rude I can't lie,” slammed one fan of the hit ITV2 show.

Another rapped: “I'm sorry Mary but Abi was having a connection with Dale as well??.

A third viewer joked: “Mary baby you've had one chat with Dale leave Abi alone.”
