She said: “For my career and me I have only ever known the pandemic. I was supported and there was a lot in place to make sure I was protected but Covid is the norm for me. I feel like I don’t know any different.
“It is very difficult to spot someone suffering from Covid. There is not much we can do. It is one of those things that you need to get rid of and not take with you.
After Thorne signed up for Love Island, it was clear that her parents needed convincing.
She stated: “My mum was super, super supportive and she was like ‘no way’. My dad on the other hand was like ‘no way’ but in a bad way.”
She continued: “He’s never watched the show so in his mind he’s made it out to be something that it’s not and he doesn’t want his little girl going on there and doing all these bits, so he was really apprehensive.
“My mum gave him a little bit of a slap and encouraged him to be strong and supportive. He did come around in the end, and he is now excited for me, bless him. But I doubt he will be tuning in to my honesty.
