Molly-Mae Hague found it "so hard" to see several celebrities she "really loved" had been trolling her during her time on ‘Love Island’.
The 20-year-old social media influencer was stunned to see a number of people she "looked up to", including a Victoria’s Secret model, had "joined in on the trolling" against her while she was in the villa.
She said: "One thing I was really shocked about when I came out was a lot of celebrities that I looked up to and really loved, I’d go back on their accounts to see what they’d been saying and a lot had been joining in on the trolling and negativity against me.
"Like a Victoria’s Secret model who I’d adored for ages joining in on it and it was so hard to see. There were a lot of celebrities encouraging negativity.
"You’d think they’d understand better than anyone else, you just wouldn’t think that would be a thing, you’d think celebrities would understand what it feels like."
Molly-Mae – who hooked up with boxer Tommy Fury on the ITV2 dating show – admits she is "very thick-skinned", but she still felt "petrified" about getting her phone back after her time in the villa, because her sister had given her a heads up about some accusations being made about her.
She added to Mirror Online: "I was petrified to get my phone back because I knew people had been saying I was fake and accusing me of just wanting the money and my sister had kind of given me a heads up when she came in that it was pretty bad."
Earlier this month, Molly-Mae admitted she had attended a mandatory therapy session following her time in the villa, but hasn’t felt the need "to speak to anyone" since, and insisted she doesn’t feel it is the ‘Love Island’ producers’ responsibility to check up on her.
She said: "I had one therapy session that was mandatory and everybody had to have.
"Producers haven’t been in touch … But that isn’t really their job, their job is when we were in the villa and we are not their responsibility now that we are out.
"I have a great network of friends, family, and management around me – everyone is so supportive, I’ve genuinely not felt the need to speak to anyone.
"It would be a very, very last resort for me to speak to a therapist, I don’t think I will ever need to do that."
