Scarlett was affected so deeply by the vile issues trolls stated that she threw away the costume she’d been carrying that night time and vowed to by no means eat once more.

She wrote for Metro on the time: “After I was requested to go on I keep in mind pondering that if ever there was a present the place I can put on one thing that exhibits a little bit of cleavage, it is Love Island.

“In spite of everything, it was a programme the place ladies weren’t penalised for exhibiting a little bit of flesh, it was truly inspired. However after all I quickly found that you just’re not allowed to indicate cleavage in case you’re fats.

“Should you’re not a sure dimension, you should not present pores and skin as a result of it ‘offends’ individuals, which is ridiculous.

I even threw out the costume I wore on the present – despite the fact that it was one in every of my favourites.”

Scarlett stated she was torn up by what was being stated, even contemplating that she ought to discover a new profession, earlier than realising she wished to make use of her platform to talk out about these sorts of attitudes, and that her success had nothing to do along with her dimension.
