Despite telling friends he was only on Love Island to try and chat
up Fearne Cotton, new arrival Abs has set his sights on resort
singleton Bianca. The cheeky former 5ive star, who these days does a
good impression of Ali G, thinks he's got a chance with Bianca after
her new love Leo was voted off the show.
"Bianca's got my attention," he told the Daily Star, "and it's going
to be lively." Abs - real name Richard Breen - will be on the island
for seven saucy days, and is planning to make the most of them with
Paul Gascoigne's daughter. "Watch her when I get in there. Watch her
eyes." It's only three days since Bianca was left in tears after
viewers voted off her "close friend" Leo. But Abs believes that he's
just the man to heal her heart. Or at least take her mind off things
with a snog. "I'm well pleased Leo's gone so that Bianca is free,"
he said. "I'm not worried about treading on his toes. I don't even
know the guy."
The show plans to throw Abs in at the deep end by sending him on a
romantic date with one of the girls, away from the rest of the
group. Meanwhile, back in the UK, loser Leo has a warm welcome
waiting for him from The Streets guru Mike Skinner.
The Streets front-man has been watching his buddy Leo on the show,
and according to a friend is ready to make some jokes at Leo's
expense: "Mike's going to rip it out of him, all of Leo's lovey-
dovey stuff with Gazza's step-daughter has left him wide open to
attack."
