Love Island star Amy Hart has revealed she’s lost £5,000 to fraudsters who took money out of her bank account.
The reality TV star said the scammers are “trying to ruin her life” and even reported her sim card as stolen so they could gain access to her details.
Then when she checked her bank today she saw they had somehow taken £5,000 out.
Taking to her Instagram stories, the 29-year-old told her 1.1 million followers: “So Sam [her boyfriend] gets a good morning.
“The people who don’t get a good morning are the fraudsters who keep taking money out of my account and trying to ruin my life.”

A stressed looking Amy continued: “So remember, I told you a couple of weeks ago about the people who phoned me pretending to be Barclays.
“One thing I didn’t tell you because it was day of my friend’s wedding and it was just really stressful trying to get ready, and then I just wanted to enjoy the day.
“They reported my sim card as stolen to Vodafone so they could get a new one so they could get all my one time codes. But we managed to stop that so they didn’t pass security.
“Anyway this morning, I got paid for a job that me and Sam did together, so I wanted to transfer it into our joint account.
“And I was like I’ve been paid, but I saw £5,000 has gone out. £5,000 has gone out to a gold bullion company!
“So yeah, now I’ve got to go and sort all of that out today. Happy Wednesday!”
Amy appeared in season five of Love Island in 2019 and was famously dumped by Curtis Pritchard, which led her to walk out of the show.
Curtis went on to have a relationship with Maura Higgins, but they split up after eight months together.
At the time Maura said she broke it off as she couldn’t picture a future with Curtis, plus there were rumours he had cheated, which he denied.
Although Amy was heartbroken on the show, she has since found love with entrepreneur boyfriend Sam Rason.
The influencer and TV presenter, who has landed a job on Embarrassing Bodies, said she knew on her third date that Sam was ‘The One’.
She even told pals that early on she was going to marry him – something she hopes to do in 2023.
After they have tied the knot, she hopes they will have children and has already spent £15,000 freezing her eggs.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Amy said: “I'd love to get married first, just because I think then you can be truly selfish with your wedding if you get married first.
"Once you have children, all your priorities change. I'd love to get married next year."
