Amber’s sister Haylie, her friends Hannah and Taz, and the Beckford family have released a statement on behalf of the islander.
They wrote on social media: “Hi everyone, Amber’s stay at the villa is over. We have received wonderful comments and messages and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
“However, as most of you are probably aware of some despicable tweets, posts and messages written about Amber. As Amber’s family and friends, this was extremely difficult to watch and disgusting at times.
“We didn’t want to have to release something like that, but remember that bullying someone during an hour-long episode of a TV show is harmful.
“Bullying and negative comments can be extremely damaging to a person’s mental health and can sometimes be fatal in the worst case scenario.
“We will not tolerate bullying and harassment.”

“For this reason, we have sadly decided to disable Amber’s Twitter before she arrives home to protect her mental well-being,” they continued.
“This is a decision made by Amber’s close friends and family, as it was extremely difficult for her family and friends to watch, and we still want this to be an exciting time for Amber; not a negative.
“We want to thank everyone again for some love and those who supported Amber on her journey.

Since leaving the mansion in Tuesday’s episode, Amber has said, “I have no regrets, I’m definitely proud, I’ve been true to myself.”
