Love Island's Amy Hart slams BBC Radio 1 over 'Curtis Pritchard dumping game'

Love Island 's Amy Hart has lashed out at BBC Radio 1 bosses for not considering her mental health over a dumping game involving her ex Curtis Pritchard.

A hurt Amy blasted radio presenter Chris Stark after he put out a request on Twitter asking for Radio 1 listeners who wanted to experience getting dumped by reality star Curtis.

The unimpressed 26-year-old air hostess shared the tweet on her Instagram accusing the station of "trivialising" her heartbreak, which millions of viewers saw her go through on the ITV2 dating show when Curtis broke up with her.

Following the post Chris Stark removed the tweet, but one of his responses to the original post still read: "haha tell him to email scott.mills@bbc.co.uk it's gonna be funny. Would love to get him on."

The original tweet Chris posted read: "Would you like the chance to be dumped by Curtis from Love Island?

"We've had an idea for the show where we can offer you a fake dumping.

"Keen to do a few of these with loads of you. So if you'd like to know what it's like to be dumped by Curtis message me back now..."

Reposting the tweet Amy wrote across it: "One of the replies was 'it's going to be funny, get him to email in'.

"I thought we were being conscious of mental health these days?

"I'm all for a laugh but I just feel that trivialising something that so many people resonated with and turning it into a laughing matter isn't entertainment."

Amy had a rollercoaster ride in the Love Island villa after falling for the professional dancer.

They were together for four weeks before he realised he didn't have strong feelings for her and broke things off. A heartbroken Amy then chose to leave the villa .

She came face-to-face with him on the reunion show at the weekend following the finale where Curtis placed fourth with his new girlfriend Maura Higgins .
