Love Island's George Fensom branded 'controlling' by SECOND ex who claim she ... trends now

Love Island star George Fensom has been accused of exhibiting controlling and abusive behaviour by a second former girlfriend. 

Katie Hewitt dated the soon to be reality star for 18 months after first meeting in 2017 and claims the relationship left her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Speaking to The Sun the 24-year-old urged ITV to listen to her and Ebony Keeley, another former girlfriend who previously made similar accusations, and axe George, 24, from the dating show, which premieres Monday. 

Katie said her former partner controlled what she ate, what she wore and believes he cheated making her feel so worthless she stopped eating.

She also claimed the Business Development Executive from Bedford would scream abuse at her in public.

Telling the publication: 'At the beginning it was lovely. But after six months I started to see how awful he was.' 

After George dumped her in 2018, Katie said she refused to leave the house as her self-confidence was at rock bottom. 

Speaking about his upcoming appearance Katie said: 'He's in there to get a brand deal and followers. I don't think he's capable of love as he's a narcissist.

'I was terrified to speak out but I hope I can show why it's important for women to have a voice and not let men like George win.'

George's family said: 'This is a one-sided account of a relationship George had six years ago when he was 18, and this is not behaviour we recognise.

'These claims are false, unjustified and hurtful.'

MailOnline have contacted ITV for comment.  

In a TikTok video created in December last year, ex Ebony Keeley shared a series of photographs together that she captioned with her thoughts. 

Claims: Katie said her former partner controlled what she ate, what she wore and believes he cheated making her feel so worthless she stopped eating

One picture labelled him a narcissist, another called him a cheat and she claimed he 'has low standards because he's insecure'.

In another post she claimed he 'constantly lied to others and made empty promises' and stated he was 'controlling over what she wore and put down her appearance.'

What is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder caused by very stressful, frightening or distressing events.

People with PTSD often suffer nightmares and flashbacks to the traumatic event and can experience insomnia and an inability to concentrate.    

Symptoms are often severe enough to have a serious impact on the person’s day-to-day life, and can emerge straight after the traumatic event or years later. 

PTSD is thought to affect about one in every three people who have a traumatic experience, and was first documented in the First World War in soldiers with shell shock.

People who are worried they have PTSD should visit their GP, who could recommend a course of psychotherapy or anti-depressants, the NHS say. 

Combat Stress operate a 24-hour helpline for veterans, which can be reached on 0800 138 1619.

While posted six months ago the video has resurfaced after it was revealed on that George will be entering the Love Island villa on Monday. 

A source close to George told MailOnline: 'This is a totally inaccurate representation of who George really is and he is looking forward to viewers getting to know him properly when he is in the Villa.'

Speaking ahead of his villa debut George, a business development executive from Bedford, said said of the three most important things he looks for in a partner: 'I want them to be passionate about something, whether it's a job or enjoying trips to the zoo on Saturdays...

'I prefer a girl who is naturally good looking, and someone who has even more banter than me- although I don't believe that's physically possible. I think those three qualities make for a perfect mix in a partner.'

When asked how his family would describe him, he went on: 'I'm the first person to bring the vibe up, I'm always dancing, I'm always the one who wants to go out. 

'My go-to dance move is what I call the Dad Dance, I'm gonna bring dad jokes and dad dancing to the Villa.'

Earlier this month, ITV announced their duty of care procedures, which includes giving the Islanders video training on topics including mutually respectful behaviour in relationships, controlling and coercive behaviour and language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and microaggressions.

It comes after the last series was hit by hundreds of Ofcom complaints over 'toxic' behaviour from the female stars, with exchanges leaving their male co-stars in tears.

Bosses have formally introduced a guideline asking participants to 'pause' their social media accounts for the duration of their time on the show.

This is to ensure the stars and their families are 'protected from the adverse effects of social media.'

It comes after  George broke his silence over past homophobic tweets and accusations
