Love Island’s Chloe Burrows gets ‘hundreds’ of death threats from vile trolls

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ star Chloe Burrows has already received “hundreds” of death threats after just three days in the villa.
The 25-year-old financial services marketing executive has been targeted by cruel trolls after choosing to couple up with Aaron Francis on Wednesday’s episode (30.06.21), which meant Shannon Singh got sent home earlier than some viewers wanted.
In a lengthy statement on Instagram, Chloe’s family and friends have 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. (sic)”
The powerful post reference the tragic deaths of Sophie Gradon, Mike Thalassitis and Caroline Flack, who each took their own lives.
Sophie died aged 32 in 2018, while Mike – who also appeared on the show – died aged 26 a year later, and Caroline passed away in February 2020.
They continued: “Have the deaths of Sophie, Mike and Caroline taught us nothing? Nothing only that, but people are flooding her inbox threatening to kill her themselves.
“People… this is a GAME show, there is a cash prize. 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! (sic)”
Chloe’s loved ones noted that while they didn’t expect the statement to “put an end to trolling”, they hoped it would make some people reconsider their actions.
They added: “We are not naïve. 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 (sic)”
‘Love Island’ bosses confirmed the show’s duty of care protocols before the current series got underway, and also encouraged viewers to “think before you post”.
In a message tweeted before the launch on Monday (28.06.21), they said: “You’ve got a text! These Islanders are all single and ready to find love. We can’t wait to watch them get to know each other, date, and maybe even find the one.
“We’re so grateful they’re letting us follow their journey this summer. We hope you enjoy the show, but please think before you post.”
