Rosie Williams is being given round-the-clock psychological support after she left the ‘Love Island’ villa this week to a barrage of negative comments and abuse from trolls.
The 26-year-old solicitor has revealed that bosses of the dating show have promised her that they will be on hand to help her through any emotional trauma for the rest of her life after her short relationship with Adam Collard – who broke her heart when he dumped her for new girl Zara McDermott – hit the headlines last week.
Speaking to the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper, the brunette beauty said: "I have access to a psychologist if I need it. Everyone at ‘Love Island’ has said if I need anything for the rest of my life, they’re just a phone call away.
"I have their numbers and I will never be afraid to phone them… the way Adam behaved hurt me. [He] said things to me that were really quite nasty. And there were times when I felt a bit isolated."
Bosses’ decision to offer axed contestants support comes after former ‘Love Island’ star Malin Andersson – who appeared on the show in 2016 – claimed that the programme was to blame for Sophie Gradon’s apparent suicide because they failed to support her with her new-found fame after she left the villa two years ago.
She said recently: "There just needs to be more done about it and a lot more aftercare provided by certain reality TV shows. She did talk to me a lot about personal situations quite close to when the show had finished.
"It was a shock for both of us when we came out of the villa, and I completely understood where she was coming from because I felt the same."
The brunette beauty thinks reality TV is a "weird industry" and can understand why people who are thrown into the limelight like that develop depression when it’s over.
She explained: "It’s like you’re constantly reaching for some kind of high and when work dies down and things go quiet you’re constantly trying to chase it – and that’s where depression can kick in."
Sophie was found dead at her parents’ home near Newcastle on Wednesday (20.06.18). Her death is not being treated as suspicious.
