The mum of Love Island star Jacques O'Neill has issued a plea to trolls to stop sending nasty messages about her son.
Her remarks came after Remi, who was dumped from the villa, claimed that Jacques was a " bully " and made his time on the ITV2 show "s***".
Janet Wright uploaded a worried statement on her Instagram page. She posted an image of herself with her son on the rugby field and penned: "People sending nasty messages to me please can you stop. It does hurt. Thank you."
Her followers were quick to support her, with one telling her to "pay no attention". Another follower said: Ignore the trolls! They troll because they don't have lives and have got nothing better to do", as reported by Birmingham Live.
Remi claimed that he had to stick up for himself on the YouTube series Reality with Will Njobvu. He said that his co-star would "constantly" mimic and make fun of his fellow islanders.
Remi said: "There was a lot of stuff that wasn't aired - a lot of stuff going on. So basically - me and Jacques got into quite a lot of arguments and it just made my experience s***t. It ruined it for me."
"People were saying, "It's because he's got a rugby persona' - but you can't treat people like that," Remi added.
