We didn't hear anything from Niall for days after his departure and there were even reports that his friends were becoming worried about his lack of contact with them. Then, Niall took to Instagram to reveal that he was struggling inside the villa due to his Asperger's Syndrome - a diagnosis he had only previously shared with his closest family.
Support for Niall poured in and the National Autistic Society praised Niall for speaking out about his autism. At the time, their director of external affairs, Jane Harris, said: 'We really hope that Love Island contestant Niall Aslam's revelation that he is autistic will encourage fans of the show to find out more about autism.'
Things have been fairly quiet from Niall recently and now he has revealed the reason behind this in an emotional Instagram post. Watch the video above to see what Niall had to say.
