Love Island’s way more vicious now – social media abuse is savage, says Amber Davies
thesun.co.ukSHE shot to fame after winning Love Island but Amber Davies admits she would not want to appear on the reality show now because it has become too “vicious”.
Amber, 25, won series three of the hit ITV2 dating show in 2017 with ex-boyfriend Kem Cetinay, 25, but she has warned that new contestants will need a “thick skin” because of the abuse they may face on social media.
