Love Island’s Marcel Somerville heartbroken after racist troll targets his newborn baby son
MARCEL Somerville has revealed his newborn baby son has become the victim of racist trolling.
The Love Island star and his fiancée Rebecca Vieira, who welcomed their baby in January, shared their anger and heartbreak after a cruel troll made vile comments about the child’s appearance.
Speaking about the horrible experience, Rebecca – who said she felt both “scared and angry” – told The Mirror Online: “On Saturday I received some really disturbing direct messages from one vile troll in particular who told me my son, Roman, was ugly.
“So I blocked them and they just created a new account to continue trolling me and my son.”
The devasted new mum added: “I hate it so much. How can anyone want to attack my Roman like that? How many times am I gonna have to receive these kinds of messages before something is done about it?”
Marcel broke the news they had a son shortly after his birth back in January, paying tribute to his partner.
He wrote: “My Heart!!! Pregnancy is a journey and this past 9 and a bit months have been totally worth it! He’s literally the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen… Soooo Handsome I can’t wait for you all to meet him.
