Love Island’s Alima Opens Up About Life-Changing Breast Reduction Surgery: ‘From 32E to A-Cup,’ She Embraces Body Positivity and Self-Care Journey!
ALIMA Gagigo has announced that she’s going to get breast reduction surgery.
The stunning star, 23, is currently a size 32E and describes her boobs as feeling like a “burden”.
In a candid video posted to her TikTok channel, Alima explained how she’s tired of her larger chest causing issues and hopes to go down to an A cup.
“So I was on live today and I’ve mentioned how much before I’ve considered getting boob reduction surgery,” Alima led with.
“I’ve been wanting to do it for ages, honestly I’ve been wanting to do it since I can remember.
“Don’t get me wrong sometimes it’s handy having a bit of extra something in there, for like outfits and bikini pictures and things like that.
“But I think I’ve got to a stage of my life where I feel like they just… I feel like they’re a burden.
She continued: I know that’s so sad because they’re natural but I just don’t enjoy having them.
“I feel as though I can’t wear nice tops or I can’t wear certain outfits, especially backless tops because I have to wear a bra.”
Alima then went on to share her plans to jet off to Portugal for the procedure.
“I would probably go to Portugal because I’ve lived there before, and it’s probably cheaper as well.
“Everyone keeps telling me that I’m going to regret it but I don’t think I will.

“This is something that I’ve been thinking of for, like, ages. Talking two or three years.
“I’m currently a 32DD or E and I would like to go down to a cup A.”
At the end of the reel, Alima asked viewers who have undergone a breast reduction to share their experiences in the comments ahead of her having it done in the future.
“I’ve had a breast reduction and I have never once regretted it,” shared one TikTok user.
“Mine where a lot bigger tbf but mine are about your size now and they even annoy me at that size. I don’t think you’ll regret it.”
That said, others warned Alima to get her chest measured professionally first as they aren’t sure she’s the size she thinks she is.
“Alima you are not a DD, that’s a really small size!,” advised another viewer.
“Before you decide on a reduction, find out your correct bra size & try some better fitting bras. You look around a 30H” said a third.
Alima’s time on Love Island was cut short, after she was dumped from the island on day 24.
The TV personality originally entered the villa coupled up with 26-year-old construction project manager Blu Chegini.
Though their romance barely got to begin before fizzling out days later, as Blu didn’t hold any romantic interest towards her.
Alima then flitted between a some of the other available men on the show, starting with Remell then later on Conor, before ultimately becoming single after Conor dumped her and she left the show.
Since leaving the villa, Alima has been linked to ex-Islander Ben Holbrough.
Although they featured on the same series and weren’t an official couple, they shared a passionate kiss during the heartthrob challenge and appeared to be growing closer days before Alima was booted off-screen.
They haven’t made their relationship official.
Love Island’s Andrew Le Page shocks fans after debuting new girlfriend Hannah Peglar on TikTok — then deleting the video hours later.
A NEW Love Island relationship has emerged on TikTok, but the ‘hard launch’ clip has already been deleted.
The ITV season 8 star split up with his villa partner after two-and-a-half years, and it appears he’s moved on for good.
Andrew Le Page, 30, returned to Dubai after his relationship with Tasha Ghouri, 27, collapsed in January earlier this year.
He began getting close to Leeds-based actress, dancer, and singer, Hannah Peglar.
Hannah, who appeared as an extra in the Netflix series Sex Education in 2023, appears to have confirmed their romance on TikTok.
Fans on Reddit noticed she uploaded a video hugging Andrew, appearing to pen the date they became boyfriend and girlfriend.
“She deleted the TikTok the day she posted it,” one fan wrote.
“But she confirmed in it they’ve been official since 19 October.
“They’ve all had matching Instagram stories for a while, being at the same places and so on,” the post concluded.
Another commented: “It kind of blows my mind a little to make a 5 day old relationship public.”
While someone else said: “Tbh they could’ve been dating for a while and now that they are in relationship she probably wants girls to know that since he’s hot.”
A fourth penned: “They have been seeing eachother from mid august just now official.”
While a firth said: “Truly love to see anything that makes Andrew happy.”
Another fan clarified: “For people that are confused they have been seeing/getting to know each-other from mid august, around the time of all points east festival.
“She came out to see him in Dubai September, he’s been spending time with her in london.

“She posted a video ‘finish when im a girlfriend’ with date 30/8/25 and ‘hehe’ was on 19/10/25 confirmed they are now officially.”
It comes after Andrew was linked with Irish influencer Simone Grace.
A source told The Sun in June: “Andrew is spending time with an Irish girl in Dubai.
“They were at Miss Tess restaurant together at the weekend, and had a date at top golf together.
“They were first linked last month and have been enjoying getting to know each other.
“It’s very casual and they are just seeing where it might go.”
It was confirmed in January that Andrew and Tasha had parted ways after three years.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Tasha was madly in love with Andrew but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly.
“She gave her all in that competition. Her focus was purely on her dances with Aljaz and that drove a wedge between them as time went by.
“Now she’s going off on tour she’s going to be away from Andrew again.
“They talked about ending their relationship at the start of January and she’s heading out on the Strictly tour as a single woman.”
