Amber Gill has revealed she was ‘sent death threats’ after filming an Instagram live, remarking that the live video had grabbed the attention of Love Island star Luca Bish’s sister.

The 24-year-old, who won the show in 2019 with Greg O’Shea, has been outspoken over her criticism of Luca in recent days, dubbing him ‘public enemy no1 equal with Dami’ and claiming that the fishmonger ‘hates’ fellow contestant Tasha Ghouri ‘with a vengeance’.

In a recent tweet, she insisted that her tweets are ‘all hyperbole’ as that’s her ‘sense of humour’, adding: ‘I don’t genuinely dislike anyone on the show and it’s never that deep.’

However, she appears to be on the radar of Luca’s sister Claudia Bish, who’s running his Instagram account while he’s away in the villa, with Amber tweeting that his sibling ‘should block’ her if she ‘doesn’t want to know what I think’.

Amber told her 408,000 Twitter followers that Luca’s sister came on an Instagram live she was doing ‘when I wasn’t even talking about Love Island’, before derogatory comments started being sent by members of the public in the direction of the TV personality.

‘It was really sad because after her comments on my live people started sending me death threats so it’s just a vicious circle you can’t control crazy people wanting to hate,’ she wrote.

‘I understand she’s upset and I hate that but all my tweets are comedy only.’

A few days ago, Luca’s family released a statement urging fans of Love Island to stop sending abusive messages in his direction.

‘Please, please, please stop messaging abuse. Luca can’t even see it… the people that love him most can,’ they said.

‘I’ve just been sick from crying so much at the death threats (an hour on from that last story). How can people be so inhumane.’

Luca received backlash for his overreaction to Gemma Owen’s flirty conversation with Billy Brown, as well as his frequent digs about dancer Tasha.

On Monday, his family spoke out once more to apologise for Luca’s eruption over Gemma, describing the way he responded as ‘insensitive’.

‘I want to apologise on behalf of Luca for his insensitive reaction on last night’s episode. I know that when he watches it back, he will be embarrassed and deeply apologetic,’ they said in a statement.

‘We as his family don’t condone his behaviour last night, but we do understand he is in an intense environment where his emotions are heightened. Last night was not reflective of the boy we all love at home.’

The statement continued: ‘Please be aware death threats and nasty comments totally overstep the mark and something we as a family should not have to endure, for this reason we have turned off the comments and messages.

‘For all those who have sent messages checking in on us, we would like to thank you very much and we see you.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Luca’s rep and ITV for comment.

Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
