The family of Chloe Burrows has been forced to address death threats sent to the Islander following Shannon Singh departure.
Despite being the bookies' favourite to win, Shannon was dumped from the Island leaving the public angry wondering whether she'll return in Casa Amor.
Entering the villa, newbie Chloe chose to couple up with Aaron Francis who was originally coupled up with Shannon. After making the decision, the Scots contestant then received a text message telling her to pack her bags.
The shocking twist resulted in people sending death threats to Burrows online, with some encouraging her to kill herself.
Taking to Instagram, the family addressed the situation reflecting on the deaths of Sophie, Mike and Caroline, asking "have their deaths taught us nothing?" - referring to former contestants Sophie Gradon, Mike Thalassitis and ex-host Caroline Flack.
They went on to say that the 25-year old was not aware what was about to happen and does "not deserve to die because Shannon had to leave the villa".
They admitted that the post "won't put an end to trolling" but despite getting advice to block and ignore the trolls, it wasn't that easy and that their only hope was for the public to "#BeKind".
ITV also condemned the public's reaction and death threats deeming them "wholly unacceptable".
