The Love Island babe has penned an emotional post about mental health and living with Aspergers

Considering Love Island's very own rainbow fish Niall Aslam, was in the villa for only nine days, he sure made a massive impact.

But despite revealing his plans to write a book about his experiences, Niall has updated fans on his life and revealed the reason why he's been unable to appear on live television and interact with his fans.

Alongside a picture of himself looking into the distance on Instagram, Niall opened up about how being in the public eye has affected everyday life.

He wrote: "As you all know around two months ago I shared with you my reasons for leaving Love Island and the struggles of day to day life living with Asperger’s syndrome.

"Since leaving the Villa life I have had to confront other mental health concerns including anxiety which has left me unable to appear on live telvision and to see my fans.

Can you BELIEVE these Love Island couples are still together?
