The important message follows after a series of ex-Islanders have spoken out about trolling.
Last month, Michael Griffiths, who appeared on the show in 2019, opened up on the horrific abuse he received after leaving the villa.
He told the Daily Star: “When I first came out I was getting quite a lot of death threats. People telling me to kill myself.
“There were people telling me they knew where I lived and stuff like that and they were going to do things when they see me.”
Furthermore, Michael shared: “But nothing ever came from it, I’m not gonna live my life in fear because somebody is a bit of a keyboard warrior.”
Ahead of the series, contestants will also be trained in how to deal with trolling and internet abuse.
Who are the new contestants?
Love Island announced its new batch of sexy singletons today (June 21).
Among the stars are fashion blogger Kaz Kamwi, PE teacher Hugo Hammond and luxury events host Aaron Francis.
Meanwhile, contestant Sharon Gaffka was the first to join the line-up.
The 25-year-old Islander is a civil servant from Oxford.
According to Sharon’s social media account, the soon-to-be TV star previously battled heartache after her mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer.
The former pageant winner called her mum an ‘inspiration’ in a previous post.
