FORMER Love Islander Rosie Williams is working with charity Women’s Aid to “raise awareness of healthy relationships and the important role TV has to play”.

Rosie, on the ITV2 show in 2018, was paired with Adam Collard, 27, who was called out by the charity for showing signs of “gaslighting and emotional abuse”.

And she is determined to stand up for women being treated as she was.

Rosie, 31, said: “Women’s Aid played an important role in my Love Island journey as they spoke out publicly for me when I couldn’t speak for myself.

“Love Island is a series about finding love and the ways in which we interact with the opposite sex on our journey to finding that love and as the series and its contestants have such a phenomenal influence on so many people, I think it’s important to continue to point out behaviours that shouldn’t be accepted on such a journey.

“Alongside Women’s Aid, I look to continue to stand up for women against similar behaviours in the new series.

The charity’s Teresa Parker said: “It is brilliant to be working with Rosie to raise awareness of healthy relationships.”

“I hope with Love Island sharing information this year about behaviour in relationships, we are on the path to seeing an improvement in what we see on screen.”
