Amy Hart's family release a statement

Love Island's Amy has been facing a lot of backlash for her behaviour towards Lucie on the reality show.

Her family have released a statement regarding the volume of 'death threats' her Instagram page is receiving.

'Anyone who knows Amy knows she does not deserve this.'

Amy and Lucie formed a friendship when they first met in the Love Island villa two weeks ago.

However, they seem to have grown apart and Lucie spends more time with the boys than the girls.

Because of this, Amy's been questioning whether Lucie even likes her anymore.

The broadcast regulator in the UK has had nearly 800 complaints about the reality series since Friday alone.

Hundreds of people were concerned about how the other islanders are treating Lucie.

The couples in the villa were given the task to vote the couple they think is the least compatible.

Joe was dumped from the island when he and Lucie were deemed the least compatible by their fellow islanders.
