A girlfriend made her partner of six years wear a T-shirt covered in pictures of the two of them together.

Abbie Bartlett, 20, had the shirt custom-made for her boyfriend Leon Connolly, 24.

It bears the uncompromising message: 'I love my girlfriend Abbie, I hate the girls in Ibiza, so please stay away from me'.

Back off: Leon Connolly, 24, was given this t-shirt to wear on a holiday to Ibiza with friends

Miss Bartlett told how she produced the shirt as a surprise as he was packing his bags to leave.

Pictures of Mr Connolly wearing the T-shirt were then posted online and received large amounts of attention - leading Miss Bartlett to worry it could have the opposite effect and attract girls who 'like a challenge'.

But the couple, who have a five-year-old daughter and live together in Newcastle, have laughed off the publicity and are treating the incident as a joke.

Miss Bartlett said: 'When I took it in to the printing shop and explained what I wanted I swear they must have thought I was a psycho.

Together: Miss Bartlett spoke of her fears that the t-shirt's fame online may attract women to her boyfriend

'Leon wasn't expecting it, I had mentioned that I would make him a t-shirt but didn't think I actually would.

'He saw the funny side of it because it is really just a joke, he and I have a really similar sense of humour.

'He ended up laughing about it and even posed for pictures wearing it.'

Abbie, a criminology student at Northumbria University, said: 'Leon said he definitely will wear it in Ibiza now because he's practically famous, but I think it might have the opposite effect.

'Now that everyone has seen it online I think it might just attract loads of girls... some girls like a challenge.'

'I have absolutely no reason to be jealous or possessive because I know Leon would never cheat on me.

'We met when we were really young and have been together ever since. I trust him completely and we've been on separate holidays before, that's just how our relationship works, we do our own thing.'

'Just how our relationship is': Mr Bartlett said the two of them always take separate holidays

Mr Bartlett, who is in a band called Good Friend and works in a warehouse, left Newcastle on three days ago for a festival in Ireland and flies out to Ibiza this Friday.

He said: 'At first I thought is she serious? She wanted me to wear it to all the big clubs like Pacha etc.

'But now I get that it's a joke I'm happy enough to go along with it, that's just how our relationship is it's just silly.

'People have been saying that wearing the t-shirt might attract girls, some girls will definitely take it as some sort off challenge.
