Love Island 2021 star Faye Winter has revealed she’s still in therapy after the show.
Media watchdog Ofcom received a record 25,000 complaints about the real estate agent while she was in the villa, after she got into some explosive rows with her beau Teddy Soares.
In an interview with The Sun, the 26-year-old admitted the backlash after the show was “hard to deal with”, and that she is still going to therapy.
She said: “I didn’t even realise I needed therapy until I went into the Love Island villa.”
“I did feel like I lost myself when I came out of the show. You get offered all these deals and you’re like, I should be doing this that and the other.”
“But I didn’t go into the villa for a change in career. I loved being an estate agent. I love housing, and I loved the routine of having a full-time job. So it was a pretty drastic life change for me.
“Suddenly I found myself living in an unfamiliar area, doing work that I wasn’t really enjoying and having no routine, which I really struggled with.”
Faye continued: “I’m still in therapy and I think I’ll be doing it for a long time.”
“I’ve always been very outspoken, I am myself, and if I need a bit of help along the way, then that’s OK. I’ve been very open and honest about what I’ve had done.”
“The backlash was hard to deal with, I still have so many blocked words on my Instagram account and it took me a while before I could look at those words.”
