Love Island insider responds to rumours Amy Hart has quit the villa

Keeley Ryan

So what does Maura Higgins’ cousin think of her relative in the villa?

WELL, didn’t she only catch up with us on our Love Island show today. You can listen to it all below.

A Love Island insider has responded to reports Amy Hart has left the villa.

Since returning from Casa Amor, Amy and Curtis saw their relationship hit hot water when he admitted to trying to recouple with new girl, Jourdan.

Obviously hurt by the news, Amy pulled Curtis for a chat to discuss his true feelings and how they’d move forward from this to then find out, he didn’t want to.

In a heartbreaking moment, Curtis revealed to Amy that he can’t say his “head won’t be turned again” and the pair left it at that, with Amy visably upset as she stormed away.

The Islander was then rumoured to have left the villa after her break-up with him.

However, a Love Island source told Digital Spy that this was not true.

They said:

“Amy hasn’t quit the villa, and false speculation of this nature is of course concerning and unhelpful for her family and friends to read about.”

A spokesperson for the show added that they take “the emotional well-being of all the Islanders extremely seriously.”

The statement continued:

“We have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times who monitor and regularly speak to all of the Islanders in private and off camera, especially if someone appears to be upset.

“All the Islanders are therefore fully supported by the professionals on site and by their friends in the villa. This means Islanders are always able to reach out and talk to someone if they feel the need. We will of course continue to monitor all of our Islanders in line with our robust protocols.

Love Island holds a mirror up to relationships and all the different dynamics that go with them.”

It comes as, back in May, ITV confirmed the details of the new duty of care package for contestants.

Included in the changes, contestants will get at least eight counselling sessions after they leave the villa – as well as 14 months of contact with the Love Island crew.

They will also receive training sessions on how to manage their money, how to deal with fame, as well as social media lessons.

There is also a welfare team solely dedicated to the Islanders both during the show and after, as well as a psychological consultant engaged throughout the whole series – from pre-filming to aftercare.
