NO MUM IS AN ISLAND

LOVE Island Scot Camilla Thurlow says online abuse she got for sharing her struggles with early motherhood was one of the most vulnerable times of her life.

The mum of five-month-old baby Nell shared her night feed stories on Instagram but got negative comments telling her she was an attention seeker.

The criticism received by former Miss Edinburgh winner Camilla, who appeared on the hit show in 2017, made the first few weeks as a new mum “difficult”.

Speaking on the Sweat, Snot & Tears podcast, the 31-year-old said: “In those early weeks I found it so difficult when I was sharing some of the reality when I got nasty messages – I really struggled with it.

“It’s probably among the most vulnerable times in my life, I would say – I just would take it so much to heart.
