Love Island has released a new statement in the wake of controversial scenes in which Faye Winter had an explosive argument with Teddy Soares.

Faye blew up at Teddy after a game in the villa in which she was shown a clip of him admitting he was attracted to another islander.

Other male islanders also came under fire from an upset Faye, who was shown shouting and swearing.

Viewers complained about the moment on social media with domestic abuse charity ManKind Initiative also speaking out about the ‘unacceptable’ behaviour shown.

Faye’s family spoke out on her social media account and reminded people: ‘You are watching a highly edited TV show which is created for entertainment – you can never see the full picture.

‘Faye is human, she may not always get things right.’

Love Island shared a new statement on Monday, which was read out during Good Morning Britain, once again outlining how islanders are being looked after.

‘We take the emotional wellbeing of all the islanders extremely seriously.

‘We have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times.

‘All the islanders are therefore fully supported by the professionals on site and by their friends in the villa. Islanders can always reach out and talk to someone if they feel the need.’

An previously unseen clip which aired on Love Island: Aftersun showed Faye explain her feelings to Chloe Burrows and Millie Court.

She explained: ‘I feel bad, I feel like s**t that I blew up the way I did. And I am sorry for what I done and there’s no excuse for it, there’s no excuse for the way I just flew out off the handle.

‘But I just want to move forward with it and, you know, hopefully, if anything, it’s made me realise what I want and definitely yesterday was just like, well, it just makes you realise if he was stood there and then he went home I would have literally been like that’s okay because I’m off too.’
