PAIGE Thorne's family have disabled comments on her social media in a bid to stop the "hate train" against the Love Island star.
The Welsh paramedic, 24, has been subjected to vile messages on Instagram and Twitter after she coupled up with new bombshell Adam Collard in last night's show.
Paige received a shocking backlash from some fans who expected her to follow Jacques O'Neill and leave the Majorcan telly villa.
Her family have now intervened and blocked fans from interacting with her accounts.
They revealed today: "As some of you have already noticed unless Paige follows you you're now unable to comment/message/tag her in anything.
"This is only for a few days to ride the hate train, it's not fair for Paige, myself or her family & friends to read so best to block it out all together!
"So proud of Paige for staying true to herself and it's nice to see a smile on her face.
