Love Island viewers flocked to social media last week to share their concern for Chloe Burrows after she was seen sporting a painful-looking bright red mark on her hip, with many wondering how she could have suffered the injury.
Some claimed she could have burned herself on hair styling tongs, while others suggested the mark was a friction burn from her frequent bedroom activities with partner Toby Aromolaran.
But now Chloe’s family, who are running her Instagram account while she’s in the villa, have solved the mystery after speaking out about her bruises while responding to assumptions from fans.
When one of her followers wrote, “She’s accident prone… all the bruising,” Chloe’s family confirmed their assumption was correct as they replied, “She bruises like an absolute peach.
“She fell over messing about and that’s how she hurt her hip, she’s okay 💜.”
They added, “Apparently she walked into a tree the other day 😂.”

In other Love Island news, Jake Cornish’s dad has spoken out to defend his son after he was accused of being a “game player”. Well, kind of…
Mark Cornish has insisted Jake’s feelings for Liberty Poole must be genuine as “he’s not intelligent enough to have a game plan”. Savage.
Speaking to Bristol Live, Papa Cornish said, “What you see on telly is Jake. There is no motive. He is genuine but he speaks before he thinks, so when you see him on the telly saying things, it’s because it’s coming from his heart and he’s just a nice lad.”
He continued, “It’s quite an emotional thing to see your son struggling. The worst thing about it for us is seeing the vile comments, mainly from keyboard warriors who don’t understand Jake.
"They just see him on the telly and think that he’s in it for the money or he’s a bit of a, you know, bit of a snake and you know, I’m not being horrible to Jake but he’s not intelligent enough to have a game plan!”
