LOVE Island star Millie Court has slammed ITV for making her look 40 in press pictures ahead of her stint in the villa.
The 25-year-old – who went on to win the show with her boyfriend Liam Reardon – was trolled at the time.
Sharing it on social media ahead of the new series launch, millionaire Millie said: “This pic will haunt me until I die…
“Sorry but this just isn’t it. Worst press picture in the history of Love Island award goes to me.
“WHAT IS MY HAIR AND MAKEUP!!!!!!!”
Millie added: “Naaaaaaa my friends told me when this pic launched everyone was saying who the f**k is this 40 year old looks like a mum dropping her kids off at the gate”

The reality star then launched a poll for fans to answer.
She wrote: “Let’s settle this – 40 yr old school mum or perfect representation of me”
It’s not the first time Millie has suffered abuse online.
After putting on weight in the weeks after leaving Love Island, Millie was accused of being pregnant.
She told The Celeb Report the jibes were “hurtful” after feeling the most confident she’d ever been when applying for the show.
“I was single, living life just for me and I believed the show would be an experience of a lifetime,” said Millie.
“Knowing millions would be tuning in, I wanted to look and feel my best, so in the months before, I got as fit and healthy as possible.
“During three and a half weeks of quarantine in Mallorca, I worked out daily, ate healthily and avoided treats, which was a change from normal.
“By the time I entered the villa, I was a size 8 – probably a dress size smaller than usual – and felt good.
“At home in Essex, I’m the most confident one in my friendship group, but on Love Island, suddenly being surrounded by all these people who were beautiful and oozing confidence, I began to question myself.
“I’d joined the show late, so while I was feeling insecure, it seemed like everyone else was having so much fun, which made me feel low.
“The food in the villa wasn’t my favourite, and you tend to eat less when you’re in the heat, so when I left Love Island I was a size 6 – the smallest I’ve ever been.
“After the show, I gradually put weight back on and rediscovering my curves made me feel sexy.
“But recently, I’ve received nasty comments on social media about my size-10 figure, with some people even asking if I’m pregnant.
“Can you imagine if I couldn’t have children or I was trying for a baby and not succeeding?

“I hit back at trolls on Instagram, saying it was insensitive to comment on what I looked like and that I’d been torn apart by the things people had said.
“Even though I’m now happy with the way I am, inside and out, those comments hurt. I’m human – nobody likes to feel judged.”
