He wrote: ‘Love Island is back on tv tonight and I know so many are excited to have the show back on our screens.
‘Don’t panic this photo isn’t a sign that I am going back on the island… I just wanted to post a gentle reminder to be kind online.
‘Particularly when it comes to body image and appearance. I am proud of how I look in the photo above. I am happy and healthy.
Let’s celebrate ALL body shapes and sizes. Always worth remembering that although the contestants can’t read your tweets or comments while they are on the island, their loved ones certainly can.

When the boys arrive in the villa, the girls can express their interest by stepping forward.
If more than one girls steps forward, the boys gets to choose who they fancy more, however the ladies can also pick another guy after if he catches their eye.
If no one steps forward, the boy is relegated to the back until all the rest of the boys are coupled up.
