How many times did you see the
psych team?
The last five days I saw them every day
because I was going through such a
horrible time. Altogether I had therapy
12 times in the villa. I saw them three
times in Casa Amor as I was absolutely
beside myself. I lay in bed crying for five
days because I was missing Curtis so
much. The day I found out we weren’t
going back to the villa when I thought
we were I just got under the covers and
burst into tears. After Casa Amor, Marvin
[Brooks] made me go to the gym every
day so the endorphins would make me
feel better, and Amber gave me her
crystal. I clutched it all night but it didn’t
work. But I’ve come out stronger and
will continue to have full therapy with
Love Island; I’m going to be provided
with aftercare for the next 14 months
and even longer if I still want it.

When new Islanders come in, do
they tell you how you’re being
perceived on the outside?
They gave their perspective. They
weren’t supposed to and they got
told off for it. Arabella [Chi] led me to
believe that I was absolutely hated, and
I may have been at the time, so I feel
so lucky to have come out to so much
support. If I’d come out when I was
getting death threats, I don’t know how
I would have coped.

Who told you that you were getting
death threats?
It was during my press debrief. My little
brother [Sam, 24] struggled with the
trolling and my family were stressed. I
was devastated and I think they were
devastated watching me.
