GABBY ALLEN

THE REALITY TV STAR, 26, SHARES HER WORKOUT AND DIET SECRETS WITH OK!’S EMILY WHITWAM

How often do you work out? I always try to work out at least five times a week – it’s important as it helps me feel strong physically and mentally.

What do you listen to when you’re training?

Believe it or not, mainly heavy metal or rock!

What’s your favourite pre-work out snack? Black coffee and a banana!

What’s your signature dish? I love pesto cod: cod loin with teaspoon of pesto, a sprinkle of cheddar, with spinach, asparagus, mushrooms and broccoli on the side.

Did your diet change when you went into love Island?

Before Love Island, was training every day and eating well. It’s hard to continue that in the villa with those ham and cheese toasties!

Is there pressure to look a certain way? It’s difficult not to be impacted by how beautiful everyone is on social media! But I try not to compare myself to others, it’s just masochism.

I aim to be the best version of myself, and understand you can’t have everything! There’s always something that someone wants that they don’t have. It’s an ongoing learning curve for me but at the moment, I feel confident!

Does keeping active help with your mental wellbeing? 100 per cent. I am a lover of cardio for obvious fitness reasons, but I always start training with a run as my head is a lot clearer after a run.

Do your friends ask you for fitness tips? Yes. I help lots of my friends with training ideas and tips, I used to train a couple of them!
