Love Island’s Remi Lambert hid a tragic family secret from viewers on the hit show.
The Mancunian model, 22, revealed today that his beloved mum took her own life in a now-deleted instagram post.
Remi, who has accused fellow islanders Jacques O’Neill and Luca Bish of bullying him, shared a post on social media from a fan, which referenced his mum’s tragic passing in 2018.
The fan’s post read: “Just found out Remi from Love Island lost his mum to suicide as she was struggling with mental health.

This is so sad as he was being bullied in and out of the villa. We need to do better and hold the bullies accountable.”
Remi shared the message and captioned it: “Didn’t want to bring this up but mental health is serious.”
Remi has previously shared a picture of himself, his mum and his brother Jordan, captioned: ’03/08/2018

Remi’s concerned followers quickly shared their worries about him on twitter after he opened up about the suicide.

He has previously posted a lengthy statement about bullying which they felt had a ‘suicidal tone’.
One wrote: “Remi’s mother committed suicide due to her mental health do you want to see the same happen to Remi?”
A second said: “The last paragraph in Remi statement make me genuinely worried for the guy especially after knowing that his mother committed suicide and dealt with mental health issues, someone please check up on him. #LoveIsland.”
A third added: “Remi from #loveisland has suffered directly from the impact of suicide (sadly losing his mum), now he’s being bullied/mocked by 2 islanders who have a) 2 of the most followings & b) have consistently used “mental health” to not face consequences. Vile humans Luca + Jacques.”
Remi released a statement after slamming Jacques and Luca for ‘bullying’ him during a controversial Instagram live.
Remi previously revealed he had rowed with ‘bully’ Jacques in a series of aired rows and has now said he “wants justice”.
In the clip, which has gone viral, Luca said: “We’re not MCs, we need Remi in here for that.”
Remi seemingly reply, saying: “What you boys saying about me and my rapping?”
Jacques responded: “I said it’s really really good, you should turn pro.”
The pair then exchanged looks and burst out laughing – a similar to reaction to when Remi rapped in the villa.
After seeing the questionable clip, Remi took to Instagram to discuss it and questioned why they weren’t kicked out.
He wrote: “I never joined their live so I didn’t comment actually. A fake account called remilamb0 did. Don’t know why these guys have such a problem with me, clearly got some serious issues they need to sort out.

“Everyone said I lied about the way I was treated in that villa, but this here is an example of what was going on whilst I was in there.
“Don’t know why they wasn’t kicked out for their behaviour to be honest. It’s not banter, it’s clear signs of bullying.”
