The former engineer added: “So when it was them faces, and the comments of like ‘he gives me the ick’, I took on the chin, I’m not going to cry about it.

On the first day, Jake and Liberty were chosen to couple up by the public. Jake, who hails from Weston-super-Mare, admitted he saw it coming, saying: “I knew straight away they were gonna put me and Lib together. I know the British public way too well!”

Speaking on her podcast Sisters In The City, alongside her sister Mandi, the 33-year-old said: “I feel so bad for him. The first time he got so much s***. The amount of trolling…he was getting death threats after the whole Liberty thing.”
Anna, who appeared on series five of Love Island in 2019, continued: “And now he’s gone back on it and I could feel it off the screen that he felt uncomfortable and lonely. You know what it is when you can’t be yourself? You’re so down and feeling so uncomfortable that you can’t be yourself or let your own personality come out.”

Mandi chipped in: “He probably wanted to say something about the little jokes or comments that are being made but he can’t, because he’s so scared of being cancelled or getting threats again.” Anna replied: “What he had was so bad last time that it probably had an affect on him. I just hope he’s okay.”
