OHMYGOSSIP — Faye Winter is still in therapy a year after appearing on ‘Love Island’.
The 27-year-old reality star – whose sparked over 24,000 Ofcom complaints over her row with her boyfriend Teddy Soars, also 27, on the ITV2 dating show – has admitted she found the backlash “hard to deal with”.
She told The Sun newspaper: “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.”
The influencer – who is appearing on this year’s ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ – admitted she also struggled with the reaction to her plastic surgery.
She added: “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.”
And she has since started to “embrace” a more natural style, having had her lip filler reduced.
Earlier this year, Faye and Teddy – who moved in together after just three months of dating and are still going strong – quit Instagram due to racist abuse from vile trolls.
At the time, he explained: “She [Faye] gets quite a lot of racism thrown at her for being with me.
“And I was experiencing the same thing, over a kind of Q and A I think, but not to go into too much detail there, it was just something that I’ve never really expected to have any kind of trolling at all.
“It’s just there. You delete it, but you’ve got so much coming your way and I think any kind of hate, any kind of jealousy, any kind of toxicity in the world is just nasty.”
The couple finished in second place last year behind 2021 winner’s Liam Reardon and Millie Court.
