Love Island star Gabby Allen proudly shows off surgery scar in near naked photo

Love Island star Gabby Allen took to Instagram today to proudly show off her surgery scars in a near naked photo.

Scouser Gabby, 28,  is currently enjoying a trip to Ibiza and took to social media to share a topless photo of her on a boat looking out onto the water.

Gabby's bum was barely covered by her string bikini and she captioned the shot: "Get ya scars out for the fiiiishhhh."

And it's safe to say fans loved the snap.

Lisa Rody said: "Get out of here (flame emojis)"

Rebecca Jane Thompson said: "Literally my  #bodygoals "

And Gee May Davis said: "How are you even real."

When she was a child Gabby suffered from scoliosis and underwent serious surgery to break her ribs, deflate her lungs and fuse vertebrae in order to fix the severe curvature of her spine - leaving her with an 18-inch scar.

But Gabby hasn't shied away from sharing photos of her scar and has previously shared a photo of her back to encourage people to sign a petition for scoliosis screening to be compulsory in schools.

Explaining her injury before she headed into the Love Island villa, Gabby said: "The top of my spine was curving so much it had caused the bottom to do so too, resulting in a big 'S' shape.

"Therefore, my shoulders, hips and ribs were all being pushed out of line...

"I would've ended up like Quasimodo!"
