Georgia Steel's family have hit out at online trolls as they declare Love Island "is not real life".

The former Islander has returned to the South African villa for a second chance at finding love. However, Georgia rocked the villa when she became involved in a love triangle with Toby Aromolaran and Callum Jones. Tensions remained high ever since the Islanders were stunned by the re-coupling ceremony.

Georgia, 25, had been growing close to Callum, but Toby came along and tore them apart by choosing to couple up with Georgia. Callum seemed hopeful that Georgia’s feelings for him would remain strong - but she grew closer to Toby. This sparked arguments in the house of the ITV2 really show - but Georgia tried to suggest she hadn’t been trying to confuse anyone.

Fans have hit out at Georgia for being involved in the love triangle, with the star even branding herself a "snake". Her family, who are running Georgia's social media while she is in the villa, have hit out after nasty comments about the Islander appeared online. Posting on the reality TV star's Instagram, they said: "Love Island is an amazing TV show and we have loved watching this series as much as anyone else.

"The last few episodes have been difficult for us to watch, but what's far worse is the hate Georgia is receiving online. It is a TV show and everyone has their opinions, please remember it's not real life! Sending vile threats and nasty messages and comments is totally unacceptable. Trolling is not OK."

They added: "Georgia is a daughter, granddaughter, sister and friend and these hurtful comments will not only devastate her when she leaves the villa, but have deeply hurt those around her. For the messages of love, support and kindness we see you and we thank you!"

On Monday night, Georgia sat down with Toby and said: “I know it’s bad though, Tobe, I’ve hurt people’s feelings in here. It’s not nice.” Toby tried to reassure her, however, saying: “You know I’ve always got your back in here, innit.” Referencing Callum, Georgia continued: “He’s saying I’m a liar and I’ve lied. I understand how he feels. I get that he’s hurt.”

Toby then confessed that he and Georgia had potentially underestimated the feelings that were growing between them. But Georgia said: “I think Molly took it in a way like I was belittling her relationship. I didn’t say it like that… And now she’s crying again and I feel responsible for her crying… I feel like I’ve just been in this villa upsetting people and it’s awful.”

Later in the episode, Arabella Chi tried to convince Georgia to make a decision about Callum and Toby and let one of them down gently. She said: “You need to sit down and work what you want and who you see [yourself] more with, sooner rather than later. You’ve had enough time to be confused.” Georgia agreed, saying: “I need to make a decision because I don’t want to leave people in the wing. It’s not fair.”
