Amy Hart urges trolls not to send 'death threats' to new Love Island cast

Amy received online abuse in 2019

Author: Alex RossPublished 7th Jan 2020

She was one of the main Islanders on the 2019 series of Love Island, before making the brave decision to quit the villa after getting her heart broken by Curtis Pritchard, and now Amy Hart has sent out a plea to fans of the show.

After receiving a tonne of shocking online abuse throughout last year's show, Amy has taken to Instagram to urge online trolls not to send 'death threats' or any abusive messaged to the new Love Island cast, which was unveiled on Monday 6th January.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Amy wrote, 'Love Island starts this weekend. We all get invested, I’ve been guilty in the past, and form opinions of people we don’t actually know.

'We see 45 minutes of a story about people living in a villa. Please before you jump on a bandwagon and tweet something nasty about one of the islanders, remember, they won’t see it. Their mum, dad, nan, grandad, brothers, sisters and friends will.

'Think how you'd feel if you read something about someone in your life. Before you send a death threat in to someone’s DMs, think how their best friend, sibling or whoever is running their account will feel reading that.'

Amy then offered her support to the families and friends of the new Islanders, adding, 'To all of the friends and family, if you need anything, and I mean anything, please contact me. My parents are more than happy to speak to any families of islanders and I'm sure hannah with the fringe can give advice to any account runners.

'Enjoy the series everyone and play nice.'

Amy isn't the only former Islander to send advice to this year's participants. Molly-Mae Hague's sister Zoe also sent out a warning for Islanders' family members not to search for their loved-ones online.

She wrote online, 'All I can say is every time you go to search your loved ones names on twitter, join a love island 'banter' group on Facebook or search for articles about them, please think twice as it is possibly the worst thing to do.' sic
