Yet her path to true love in the real world and on-off relationship with boyfriend Cowslick hasn't been smooth either. Just weeks after calling time on their love - due to his reluctance to propose - it seems things are back on. It comes despite the fact she admitted he had "hurt" her and a "more relaxed" girl would suit him better. In a teaser for the next episode of her podcast Sisters In The City with sister Mandi Vakili, aired on TikTok, Mandi teased "the tea" Anna had dropped. Anna then said: "Cowslick is back," seemingly confirming their romance. Mandi admitted: "A lot of madness has happened and the tea has been spilled."

One fan urged her to get over him as another put: "Ffs the way she says it with a big smile." A third confessed: "I screamed nooo when i was listening to the ep again." One bluntly put: "If this is true, embarrassing." Another mused: "She will never learn." In March, Anna told the same podcast of her split with Cowslick.

NEXT STEPS Anna recently posted a photo in a hospital gown, and revealed she'd completed her first round of egg freezing. The star told fans: 'My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner!

Anna has also opened up on her relationship on the Not My Bagg podcast, while chatting to host Joe Baggs. She said her partner had refused to propose, despite her wanting him to, and explained: 'Some people expect an engagement in about a year or two. 'I left mine because of that. That's the reason why we broke up, it actually went viral on TikTok. "I said 'I'm ready now, what's going on?' I actually mentioned it a year ago as well. I'm not going to wait that long, it's been three and a half years." She reinforced her view when she revealed she had dropped out of the last series of All Stars Love Island at the last minute. She explained that even though she went through the whole process to appear on the ITV2 show - including multiple meetings and STD and drug testing - it wasn't for her again. Looking for serious love, she told fans that she decided against it saying "the kind of man I want to settle down with wouldn't really want a woman that's going on Love Island." 7 7 7

Love Island star received racist messages and death threats after taking part in Netflix show
Love Island star Whitney Adebayo has revealed she was the target of racial abuse and death threats after she appeared in the Netflix series, Inside. Adebayo, who finished second alongside her partner Lochan Nowacki on the 2023 series of Love Island, recently competed on KSI's YouTuber reality show Inside, which puts a group of social media influencers in a house competing for a £1m prize pot. The series first aired as a YouTube livestream last year before being picked up by Netflix for season two. It sees housemates purchase everyday items from an on-site shop that sells products at extortionate prices, and every penny spent is deducted from the final prize. In a new Instagram post, Adebayo revealed that since appearing on the show, she has been the subject of 'hateful messages, death threats and unjust treatment'. Adebayo shared screenshots of vitriolic messages she had received, adding that although her participation in the show received mixed reactions from viewers, what she encountered the most was 'the reality of racism'. 'I was a contestant on the show, where the goal was to win a million pounds while navigating the challenge of saving and spending money. I was a 'spender' by nature, which added some fun and drama to the show, but it's important to remember that everything you saw was a part of the game, designed for entertainment,' she began. 'I understand that being in the spotlight brings criticism, but what I've experienced the past few days goes beyond criticism,' she said. She continued: 'This evil, hatred and pure racism should not be tolerated. The hateful messages, the death threats, and the unjust treatment I've received are not only hurtful, but they also serve as a reminder that racism is still very much embedded in British culture.' Adebayo pointed out that the abuse shows 'the way society can respond to women like me, women who stand out or don't fit a certain mould of being cute and mute'. She added: 'To those who have tried to tear me down, I want to remind you: your hate doesn't define me. It only fuels my determination to grow and to be unapologetically myself.' 'Love me or hate me, either way, I know you were entertained. You're welcome,' she said. Adebayo's partner Nowacki shared his support for his girlfriend online, writing: 'It's a shocking and disgusting world we live in sometimes! For everyone that knows you knows you are kind and pure hearted! And I for one was definitely entertained! I love you!' Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu added: 'You are a Queen always remember that! Keep being you.' Fellow contestant Mandi Vakili added: 'U have the BIGGEST heart! Those who know KNOW.' The show featured other social media influencers including Mya Mills, Mandi Vakili, George Clarke, Darryl Dwayne Granberry and footballer Patrice Evra. Inside was won by three finalists, Cinna, PK Humble and Mills, who all decided to split the money, taking home £97,891 each.
