Hart said she made a “new best friend” who acted as a chaperone for her during the stress of Love Island life.

The departed contestant thanked her chaperone – Georgia Tuesday Hope – in a glowing post on Instagram.

Hart said: “When you go on Love Island you’re assigned a chaperone for before you enter the villa.

My G 💖 so, when you go on Love Island you’re assigned a chaperone for before you enter the villa. It’s really daunting saying goodbye to your family and going with someone before you start your new journey within the villa. I was told I would have a ‘new best friend for a week’ that didn’t happen for me….I ended up with a new big-sister-who’s-actually-younger-than-me for life. Yet again the love island fam delivering more than enough! She then looked after me after I left the villa and supported me through those few days. Literally so lucky to have GTH in my life and couldn’t have done any of this without her! Before I went in we had the most amazing week and I literally couldn’t have asked for a better chaperone! Right…come home now so we can go and see @waitresslondon like we talked about sooo many times 😂💖

If you need me today….I’ll be on the sofa catching up on all my fave youtubers. I genuinely went on to Love Island to find love, I never imagined the amazing reception I would arrive home to. The last few days have been an absolute whirlwind and I need a day to relax on the sofa before a crazy week ahead starting with Aftersun with @carolineflack and the gang tomorrow! Who’d have thunk it 😬🙈 such a lucky girl!
