The mother of Love Island star George Fensom has shared a cryptic message on social media ahead of her son's debut on the ITV2 dating show.

George, 24, has found himself under fire from social media users after a string of homophobic slurs reappeared on Twitter following the news he was entering the villa on Monday (June 5).

As well as the resurfaced tweets, an ex-girlfriend has addressed their relationship and claimed he was "controlling" over her choices of clothes.

She added that he would "constantly lie to others" and branded him a "narcissist".

George has spoken out about the "unfortunate" tweets emerging and his mum Gina has since took to her Instagram page to share a message with her followers.

Taking to her Instagram Story, she posted sparkly, gold text which read: "Never judge a book by its cover".

In an exclusive chat with Daily Star and other press, George completely denied the claims.

He said: "It's really unfortunate and actually quite upsetting on my behalf that a picture has been painted about me in that light.

"I'm looking forward to going into the villa to prove that the things written about me aren't true and people can see a different light to me.

"Looking back on those tweets, I was really naïve and really young to think that was the right thing to say. It's obviously not the right thing to say on my behalf… That's pretty much it really."

Before joining the cast of Love Island 2023, George said is on the look out for a girl with "drive", who is "passionate about something, whether it’s a job or enjoying trips to the zoo on Saturdays".

He added that he tends to "prefer a girl who is naturally good looking, and someone who has even more banter than me" although he "doesn't believes that's physically possible".

Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX on Monday (June 5) at 9pm
