Love Island star Coco Lodge has shared the reality of her experience on the ITV2 dating show, including the moment her dad called the show’s producers after scenes on screen saw her receive an outpouring of hate. The 27 year old, who hails from Surrey, first entered the villa during Casa Amor and soon turned the head of Andrew Le Page who was coupled up with Tasha Ghouri at the time.
But despite flirting with romance during her time on the show, the experience was far from smooth sailing, with the star repeatedly being attacked on social media for both her appearance and actions while in the villa. Opening up about the experience with hosts Bobby Norris and Stephen Lang on Thursdays edition of FUBAR Radio Coco even claimed her concerned dad had stepped in to say something when the comments began to escalate, as he feared the damaging impact they could have on her mental health.
She said: "When I was in the villa, apparently my dad called the producers and was like, 'you need to show her full personality because what you're showing is causing so much hate – you're going to ruin my daughter's mental health’.” ITV has been contacted by OK! for comment. The bombshell was repeatedly hit with cruel comments from trolls online during her time in the villa, with many focusing on her relationship with Andrew - but several others singled out her appearance too, something she hadn’t expected when leaving the villa.
Discussing the experience on The Murad Merali Podcast, Coco admitted that she hadn’t received as much support as she had expected. Coco said: “I didn’t actually get a warning before I came out that I was being trolled for my looks.
