LOVE Island’s Chloe Burrows’ family have brought in the police to help them track down the vile trolls sending death threats.
The 25-year-old’s family are managing her social media while she’s in the villa and say she’s received ‘hundreds’ of death threats after she paired up with Aaron Francis leaving Shannon Singh single.

The family said they understood the “frustration” that Shannon was sent home but that Chloe “does not deserve to die” because of it.
“We are extremely disappointed and saddened,” they told the Mirror in a statement.
“To receive death threats and see the malicious vitriol that exists online first-hand is incredibly distressing and we are apprehensive for Chloe to leave the villa and observe this herself,
“We must stand tall together and demand change from online platforms like Instagram to safeguard our loved ones when they need it most.
“We will be doing everything in our power to protect Chloe and will support Thames Valley Police in their efforts to track down these perpetrators.”
The Celeb Report has contacted Thames Valley Police for comment.
Earlier this week Love Island bosses stepped in to warn trolls that they will be reported for making nasty and hurtful comments about the Islanders.
In a statement posted on Instagram, show bosses said: “We want Love Island to be a positive experience for all of our cast and their friends and family members.
“Last night’s episode created strong reactions but some viewers’ posts were wholly unacceptable.
“We take these matters extremely seriously and will support cast members and their families in reporting such posts.”
The message finished: “We would once again urge all of our viewers to think before posting, and remember that our Islanders are people with feelings.”
Chloe’s devastated family spoke out on Thursday in desperation, having been flooded with horrible messages on social media.
The marketing executive’s relatives noted the tragic deaths of three former Love Island stars.
Sophie Gradon was found dead aged 32 in June 2018.
Mike Thalassitis, who appeared on Love Island in 2017, took his own life in March 2019 aged 26.
The show’s host Caroline Flack also took her life aged 40 in February 2020.
In an emotional statement the family shared: “Morning everyone, Chloe’s family & friends here.
“We hate to introduce ourselves under such vile circumstances but we’ve had enough after just 3 episodes.
“We all have thick skin but the amount of trolling Chloe has been receiving is absolutely disgusting. This morning we woke up to yet another DM (see next story) encouraging Chloe to kill herself – there have been HUNDREDS.
