Amy Hart’s father reportedly stopped watching ‘Love Island’ because of his daughter’s heartbreak.
Funeral director Ian is said to have stopped tuning into the ITV2 dating show because it was "too painful" to see Amy – who quit the programme this week – get hurt by Curtis Pritchard.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Ian’s a normal father who finds it concerning to watch his daughter go through the rigours of ‘Love Island’.
"He can’t bear to read all the upsetting opinions on the internet about her. He has taken down his Facebook account and now refuses to watch the show.
"Any father would find this sort of thing very tough to watch while powerless to intervene."
Air hostess Amy, 27, has left the villa after she was left "brokenhearted" by "half-boyfriend" Curtis Pritchard, who called time on their romance after he pursued Jourdan Riane while the girls were at second villa Casa Amor, and he couldn’t guarantee his head wouldn’t be turned again.
A source previously said: "It was Amy’s decision to walk from the villa as she felt she had gotten as much as she could from the experience.
"She fell in love, had her heart broken and couldn’t stand the thought of seeing Curtis crack on with other girls while under the same roof as her.
"She was given therapy and support from the producers at ITV and they felt she was emotionally sound enough to make her own decision. They would never dream of keeping someone in there if they weren’t happy about it."
Ian and his wife Sue had previously backed Amy’s decision to appear on ‘Love Island’.
He explained: "You can’t suppress your kids ambitions can you, because I don’t want her to get to 40 and think ‘My dad wouldn’t let me go on TV when I was 26’. We’re only here once and we’re not coming back."
