She failed to find love with any of the contestants on Love Island last summer.

But Abi Moores appears to have decided to search further afield, as she was seen cosying up to Australian series winner Mitchell Hibberd on Saturday in central London.

The reality star, 26, looked on cloud nine as the footballer, 27, wrapped his arm around her, after he recently moved across the world to settle in the UK.

Abi flashed a glimpse of her toned midriff in her understated outfit, wearing a white crop top and oversized blue jeans, as she affectionately stroked Mitchell's arm.

She elevated her look with gold jewellery and a full face of glamorous makeup, with her long blonde hair swept up in a ponytail.

While Mitchell cut a casual figure in a grey jumper and skinny black jeans as he and Abi headed to Radio Rooftop for a few drinks.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for both Abi and Mitchell for comment. 

Abi appeared in series 10 of Love Island last summer as one of the famous Casa Amor bombshells, before being picked by Mitch Taylor to enter the main villa.

However, Mitch's head was turned just a week later for new girl Ella Barnes, leading to Abi being left single again.

She then tried to make a go of things with Scott van-der-Sluis, but the pair were ultimately dumped from the villa by their fellow Islanders.

Meanwhile, Mitchell first shot to fame on the third season of the Australia version and ended up winning alongside Tina Provis.

However, the couple ended up splitting in February 2022 and Mitchell reentered the show in series four.

But he was reunited with former flame Tina, with the pair coupling up once again before being dumped after their fellow Islanders voted them the least likely couple to make it on the outside.

They split once again a few months later and then both appeared on spin-off show, the Love Island Games in November last year, entering the same day as Abi's ex Scott.

It comes after Abi hinted at a romance with a fellow Love Islander in November, but remained tight-lipped on his identity, only saying that the mystery man wasn't on her series but did appear on a 'recent' one.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: 'It’s early stages - but it could be the beginning of a Christmas romance.'

She added: 'I've had a few ex-Islanders slide into my DMs - I have been speaking to someone recently from Love Island.

'But I don't want to give too much away because I feel like every time I talk about it, it ends. I'm just going to keep it in for now. 

'He was on a recent series, but not my series. But I don't know yet, it might just be a Christmas romance thing.

'I'd love to pursue something, I've been single for so long, nearly four years. So I'm so ready for a man. He's a hunk, I think so anyways. I'm excited but you never know. We've just sort of been chatting, it's very very early.'
