Love Island legend Faye Winter has opened up about some of the vile abuse she and partner Teddy Soares have to endure.
The reality TV star, 28, reveals how she and Teddy, 27, have been struggling after a "tough time" with online trolling, and details just some of the cruel messages she has to block out.
Faye - who coupled up with Teddy during the 2021 series of the ITV2 show - claims some nasty trolls tell her they hope she "can't carry children", and "doesn't deserve" to have a family with her long-term partner.
The one-time Love Island finalist explains how she and her beau have coped with the nasty messages, and how Teddy's Portuguese mother helps her handle the trolling.
"We've had really tough time and we've had the struggles," Faye explains on the Secure the Insecure with Johnny Seifert podcast.
"I've definitely been told that I'm not I'm not worthy to be accepted into [Teddy's] culture and people hope I can't carry Nigerian children.
"I've had some really bad stuff and Teddy had some bad stuff, but it's all outside noise because it's not coming from anyone that cares.
"Everyone that has ever met us want nothing more than me and Teddy to get married have babies and live a happy life."
Faye goes on to detail how Teddy's Portuguese mother experienced similar issues when she first struck up a romance with the star's dad.
"She said that she had quite a few issues when she was with Teddy's dad, you know, where she didn't feel like she would be accepted into the culture," Faye adds during her candid chat.
"You know, I definitely do feel like that sometimes - and also I worry that I'm not enough to try it.
"I get on so well with his family, and he gets on with mine and actually anything else around is just noise we don't need to listen to."
Faye and Teddy sent fans into meltdown earlier this week, as the former lettings agent added to speculation her beau could be set to pop the question in the near future.
Sharing a smitten selfie together on Instagram, the Celebrity Masterchef star flashed a stunning engagement ring alongside the question: "What we thinking?"
The animal lover then offered up two options which read "Wifed up looks great" or "Let him sweat” for her followers to choose from.
In a brief Instagram snippet, Faye could be seen moving her hand from side to side as she showcased the impressive diamond ring from jewellery brand Tiffany and Co.
Despite the cheeky hints, Teddy hasn't proposed just yet, as it was later revealed that the loved up couple had simply been attending a Tiffany and Co exhibition shortly after celebrating their first anniversary together.
