Elliot, 33, then jumped to his girlfriend's defence.
"Yeah, yeah, we get it, you're one of life's greatest oxygen thieves," he wrote.

Love has been open about the loss of her mother, whom she shared a very close bond with.
“Mum, you were my first friend and my best friend, my rock, the one who knew me better than anyone in the world and who supported and backed me through every single thing I did," she previously wrote.
“You were the one I went to for advice, the one I shared every story with and the one who was always there to pick me up."
