Love Island winner Amber Gill gets back to exercise after being ‘fat shamed’ for putting on weight in lockdown

Love Island winner Amber Gill has done her first piece of exercise since March after putting on a stone in lockdown and being ‘fat shamed.’

Amber, who won the ITV dating show last summer, recently opened up about being trolled for putting on weight.

She asked: “How do people look so closely that they notice before I even notice?”

The 23-year-old has since shared a video of herself exercising on Instagram with the words: “She’s up and at it eventually.”

Last month Amber told her followers in a frank post that she was ‘shocked’ to find she had put on a stone and put it down to having takeout breakfast, lunch and dinners.

And she said ‘I’m with you’ to followers who might be feeling a similar way.

“Not me on TikTok being fat shamed?! What?” she wrote.

“First of all we are in a pandemic, second how do people look so closely that they notice before I even notice.

“I’ve been living in hoodies and sweatpants for the whole of this year and ended up putting on a whole stone!

“I can’t lie I was shocked but I cannot cook to save my life so it was takeout breakfast lunch and dinner so I don’t know what I expected.

“And with another lockdown potentially on the horizon it could happen again.”

She added: “I’m sure the people that commented are the image of perfection so thank you for that.

“Whoever put on weight this year don’t worry I’m with you.”

Former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison said: “I literally seen this picture of you and thought, god she looks gorgeous!

“Then I read the caption. Some people are just so full of hate, keep doing you and shining bright beautiful girl – then you’ll really p*** them off.”

“If you’re fat I am a small housing estate! You’re unreal,” said another supporter.

“This is so nice to hear and so relatable. Thanks so much for sharing,” said another.

And another told her: “You look gorgeous! Ignore those haters.”
