Love Island bosses have urged viewers to 'think before posting' after one cast member was sent death threats.
After last night's show, when Scots contestant Shannon Singh was dumped from the island, new girl Chloe Burrows' social media accounts were bombarded with death threats.
Chloe's family made a public statement following the trolling and now Love Island bosses have deemed viewers behaviour 'wholly unacceptable'.
Making a post on their Instagram page, they wrote: "We want Love Island to be a positive experience for all of our cast and their friends and family members.
"Last night's episode created a strong reactions but some viewers' posts were wholly unacceptable. We take these matters extremely seriously and will support cast members and their families in reporting such posts.
"We would once again urge all of our viewers to think before posting, and remember that our Islanders are people with feelings."
This statement comes as Chloe's family made one of their own after being bombarded with sick messages from angry fans.
They said: "We hate to introduce ourselves under such vile circumstances but we’ve had enough, after just 3 episodes.
‘We all have thick skin but the amount of trolling Chloe has been receiving is absolutely disgusting. This morning we woke up to yet another DM encouraging Chloe to kill herself – there have been HUNDREDS.
"Have the deaths of Sophie, Mike and Caroline taught us nothing?
"Not only that, but people are flooding her inbox threatening to kill her themselves. People… this is a GAME show, there is a cash prize!"
They continued: "We understand the frustration surrounding @shannonsinghhh ‘s eviction – we feel it too! She didn’t deserve to leave so early but Chloe does not deserve to DIE because Shannon had to leave the villa!
"She will have had no idea of the repercussions of her decision prior to making it."
The message ended: "‘We are not naive. We know that this post won’t put an end to trolling. All the advice we get is to “ignore it” and “block the trolls”, sometimes it’s not that easy."
"Our hope is that this just reminds some of you to #BeKind x"
