Love Island Australia’s Erin Barnett is trolled over new boyfriend

'He looks about 60'

Former Love Island star Erin Barnett felt the wrath of online trolls after announcing she’s moved in with new boyfriend Mick Russell.

The 24-year-old shared a picture of the loved-up pair celebrating with a cocktail, accompanying the image with a sweet tribute to her boyfriend of six-months.

Guess what! Mick and I have moved in together! ⁣Yay!⁣’she began.

‘This is such a big thing for me, as I’ve never lived out of home and I’ve never ever moved in with a boyfriend. This is the kind of relationship I always dreamed about but never thought I’d have.

‘He treats me with respect every day, he makes me laugh every day, he helps me through my ups and downs every day, but most importantly… He makes me happy every day!’

However, despite the majority of Erin’s 349,000 fans congratulating her on the news, some couldn’t help having a sneaky dig at the apparent age difference between the pair.

‘He looks about 60!’ slammed one, while another wrote: ‘He is punching way above his weight not gonna lie lol.’

One troll even went as far as to question whether Erin was a gold digger.

The blonde beauty – who broke up with Love Island beau Eden Dally last September – has so far declined to reveal Mick’s age.

Look away if you’re squeamish – Erin filled herself getting lip fillers and it’s INTENSE!
