Amy Hart Responds to Trolls Over Love Island Podcast Role
Amy Hart has firmly addressed the backlash from trolls who wanted her removed from her role on the official Love Island: All Stars podcast. The criticism primarily stemmed from fans of her ex-boyfriend, Curtis Pritchard, who expressed their discontent over her involvement.
Despite the negativity, Amy maintained her professionalism throughout the podcast, even when she had to confront Curtis after his time in the villa. In an exclusive interview with The Sun, she shared her thoughts: “From the very beginning, everyone was fixated on how awkward it would be for me to discuss Curtis. They were asking, ‘What happens if we come face to face and I have to interview him?’”
However, contrary to expectations, Amy revealed that she and Curtis actually share a positive relationship. “Unfortunately for everyone hoping for drama, we get on quite well,” she remarked. “Curtis even mentioned in his pre-villa interviews that he was looking forward to me interviewing him for the podcast.”
She found interviewing him to be quite effortless, stating, “He was my easiest interview because I know him so well, and I understand how to push his buttons and make him laugh.” While fans anticipated tension, Amy emphasized that their amicable dynamic made the process smooth.
In a touching moment before the final episode, Curtis showed his support for Amy by giving her an encouraging hug. “Just before I went live on TikTok to 700,000 people, Curtis came over and gave me a massive hug. He said, ‘I’m so excited for you to do this, you’re going to absolutely smash it; you were born for this,’” she recalled.
Amy expressed her frustration with the critics who felt she shouldn’t comment on Curtis during the podcast. “We don’t have the issue; everyone else seems to have a problem with the podcast,” she added.
Now happily in a relationship with her husband Sam Rason, Amy is also a proud mother to their two-year-old son, Stanley. As a mumfluencer on social media, she has recently launched her own podcast, Amy Hart’s Mum’s Club.
Discussing her motivation for the podcast, Amy shared, “I wanted to connect with various celebrity influencer mums to explore their parenting experiences and perhaps gather some helpful tips along the way.” She even featured her own mother in the inaugural episode, saying, “Many people might suggest starting with a bigger guest, but we thought it would be perfect to launch the podcast around Mother’s Day.”
Amy also reflected on her mother’s experience during her time in the villa: “I learned a lot about how she felt while I was on Love Island, especially since we didn’t see each other during that time.” She hopes the podcast will provide insight for future contestants and their families on how to cope with the reality show experience.
Amy Hart’s Mum’s Club is now available on all major podcast platforms and can also be watched on YouTube.
