Love Island 2018 contestant Ellie Brown has opened up about the harsh reality of starring in one of the UK's biggest reality TV show.
The star has written an article to warn new Islanders of what the show is like, ahead of the launch of Love Island 2020 tomorrow.
Ellie told The Sun{
"In reality, I practically starved myself going into the villa — eating nothing but fish and vegetables for months and spending hours sweating away in the gym each day."
She continued, "It's why, ahead of the new series which starts on Sunday, my heart goes out to the new contestants who will no doubt be under the same pressures from trolls who are desperate to scrutinise every pound they shed or gain."

The celebrity Ex On The Beach star also opened up about her experience of "fat-shaming", revealing the abuse once left her "feeling lower than I ever had in my life."
The ex of Love Island star Charlie Brake said, "Last summer, I was on holiday in America with my girls.
"I didn't think I'd get papped over there, so it was a complete shock when the most disgusting photos of me in a bikini were taken and shared online."

Ellie went on to say, "All of a sudden, my social media accounts were being flooded, with trolls accusing me of being a ‘liar’, of editing photos of myself on Instagram to cover up how I really looked.
"The truth is that it was just a horribly unflattering photo, like we've all seen on Facebook after a night out. But that didn't matter.
"I couldn’t stop sobbing, I FaceTimed my mum and couldn’t leave my hotel room for the rest of the day. It absolutely ruined my holiday."
