The second instalment of Love Island Australia 2025’s movie night saw practically all of the male Islanders call Gabby out for flirting with bombshell Alex, despite claiming that she didn’t.
However, viewers know that Gabby’s flirty date with Alex happened immediately after she watched her partner Jotham tell bombshells Mia and Boston that he was open. Jotham then went on to betray Gabby at Hotel Amor with bombshell Jaide, who he’s now coupled up with.
Despite all of this, the boys still gave Gabby a hard time about her interactions with Alex, and Gabby told Chattr that she thinks the boys purposely did so to get more screen time.
“I thought like it wasn’t their business to stick their nose in… That situation [with Alex] had happened a long time ago, and Jotham had brought someone else back [from Hotel Amor],” she said.
“I think it was just the boys trying to get their five minutes. They knew that I was involved in a lot of the drama, so they all wanted to put their five cents in. But, I didn’t appreciate everyone coming for me.”
Gabby said she owned up to flirting with Alex and took full accountability, so she doesn’t think it was fair for the boys to gang up on her.
“I hold my hands up, like I’m not perfect. I haven’t handled situations perfectly,” she said. “But, it’s none of anyone else’s business. My emotions were super heightened in the villa, to the point where anything like that, I would just start crying, like I was going through so much shock already with Jotham coming in with another girl.”
“So I was just like, stop bringing up these old emotions that we’ve moved past. Jotham is in a happy couple now, and I’m trying to deal with that. I think they all just wanted their five minutes of screen time, so they all started to have a go at me.”
Which of the male Islanders is Gabby still close with now?
While Gabby didn’t specifically name which male Islanders she thinks used her for screen time, it’s safe to say that things aren’t amicable with her villa ex, Jotham.
However, Gabby did reveal which of the boys she’s still close with, and she believes have her best intentions at heart.
“I’m really close with Kye,” Gabby told Chattr. “I love Kye, and I am friends with Mick. I’m super close to Connor as well. Mick’s a bit of a shit stirrer, but you love him like a brother at the end.
“I have so much love for Kye, Connor and Mick,” she added.
That leaves Ross, Dylan, Mateo and Jotham as the only male Islanders at movie night who Gabby didn’t mention as being firmly in her corner.
Love Island Australia airs Monday – Thursday on Channel 9 and 9Now.
