Love Island’s Anna Vakili shares ‘geeky’ photo that got her BULLIED

One thing we love about Love Island 2019 legend Anna Vakili is that she takes no prisoners.

Remember when she put then-boyfriend Jordan Hames in his place when he tried cracking on with India Reynolds? I-CON-IC.

However, Anna recently revealed that she’s not always been the confident boss babe that we know today. In fact, the reality star admitted she’d been bullied at school over her “geeky” look.

Anna shared a series of throwback photos of her as a child on her Instagram story and although we think she looks adorable, the former Islander told her followers that she’d been picked on in her younger years for the way she looked.

One picture, which shows a younger Anna with her hair scraped back and significantly less groomed eyebrows than she has today, was captioned, “Geeky Anna school days 🥺.”

She added, “That monobrow got me bullied so hard 😞.”

Alongside another picture of herself with shorter half up half down hair, Anna wrote, “These pictures 😂.”

It’s safe to say that Anna has come a long way since then and we’d like to see those bullies come for her now. They’d certainly get the classic Anna gun fingers treatment.
