The Islanders finally got their phones back three days ago after being cut off from the outside world for weeks.
But Toni was in for a nasty shock when she turned her phone on, with not only thousands of notifications pinging, but also non-stop phone calls from obsessed Love Island viewers.
A source told The Sun: 'Toni's number was leaked online after she accidentally left it in the contact section of her social media.
'It was up there the entire time she was on Love Island so when she got her phone back it was blowing up with calls from obsessed fans wanting to talk to her.
'Even before she flew back to the UK she was freaking out at how many people were calling her. She's going to have to switch her number.'
ITV have been approached for comment.
Toni joined the show as its first ever American bombshell and her journey in the villa was far from smooth.
She coupled up with Ben before enjoying "threesome" chats with Dejon, and finally finding a real connection with bombshell Harrison.
But Harrison kept Toni on her toes, enjoying chats with Helena - who was also in a triangle with Toni's pal Shakira and Harry.
Watch the moment Love Island's Toni FINALLY finds out about Harrison and Lauren's TWO sexy sessions - and she's furious
When Casa Amor came around, both Toni and Harrison strayed and brought back new bombshells.
Cach entered the main villa with Toni and immediately won over fans.
He was left hanging by a thread when Toni and Harrison rekindled their romance in secret and plotted to recouple.
Toni finally ditched Harrison after discovering he'd bedded Lauren hours before recoupling with Toni.
Cach and Toni kept their distance for a while, but he eventually managed to forgive her after a deep chat on the terrace.
During the final, Harrison was spotted rolling his eyes when Cach told Toni that he loved her.
He also faked clapped for the happy couple when Toni took a swipe at him during her interview with Maya Jama.

Torrential Midwest flash floods turn state fair into water park and shut airports and roads with more to come
Torrential rainfall in the Midwest led to severe flooding in Wisconsin, impacting roads, the state fair and the Milwaukee airport. Milwaukee was hit with 5.74 inches of rain on Saturday, setting a new daily record for the area. The rain has only continued since, with some areas of Milwaukee seeing more than 14 inches of total rainfall as of Sunday morning, according to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District. The Central Plains and Midwest regions are set to see even more rain and flash floods, according to the National Weather Service. Severe thunderstorms, hail and isolated tornadoes could threaten the region through Sunday night. The NWS issued a flash flood warning through Sunday morning in Milwaukee and the surrounding area. Meteorologists estimate 1.5 inches of rain could fall per hour. The flooding could be 'life-threatening,' the NWS said. The devastating rain and floods caused closures throughout the region on Saturday night, including at the Wisconsin State Fair. Fair officials announced the closure around 9 p.m. local time: 'Please use caution as you make your way to the nearest exit as safely as possible and follow the directions of the Fair Park staff and police as you exit.' Video filmed Saturday around 9 p.m. shows fair-goers trudging through water up to their ankles as torrential rain pours down. Another video shows cars trapped in deep flood waters at the fairground. The rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd was also set to perform at the fair, but officials canceled the performance about an hour before closing altogether. 'We are sad to inform you that the Lynyrd Skynyrd Main Stage concert has been canceled due to severe weather,' a statement from fair officials reads. 'While we tried everything within our control to allow this show to go on, for the safety of our artists, team, and Fairgoers, we cannot host this concert.' Basements throughout the region have also flooded. Jacqueline Zeledon told the Journal Sentinel her basement filled with about three feet of water overnight. "Everyone is waking up and we're all experiencing the same thing: Basement flooding," she told the outlet. "All is lost. Our furnace, water heater, deep freezer with food, CD collection, clothes, appliances; all that is downstairs is damaged." Nearly all of the runways at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport flooded overnight, along with most taxiways and an underpass tunnel, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The airport saw 50 delays Saturday, according to FlightAware. Another 12 delays have been reported as of Sunday morning. Milwaukee Alderman Peter Burgelis told his constituents 'everything is flooded' in a statement Saturday night. He warned that roads throughout the area are underwater and that crews are performing rescue operations. Burgelis noted the 911 system also received a high volume of calls, urging residents to remain on the line until a dispatcher picked up. About 42,000 residents are without power as of Sunday morning, according to the region's electricity company We Energies.

Tom Hanks pays tribute to Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell
Late Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell has received a tribute from Tom Hanks, the actor who brought him to life in an Oscar-winning movie and said he had gone places most wouldn't dare. 'There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to places we would not go on our own,' Hanks said of Lovell in a heartfelt Instagram tribute post published after the astronaut's death was announced Friday. 'Jim Lovell, who for a long while had gone farther into space and for longer than any other person of our planet, was that kind of guy.' Hanks portrayed Lovell in the 1995 film Apollo 13. Directed by Ron Howard and earning Academy Awards for Best Film Editing and Best Sound, the film depicted the failed lunar mission that nearly cost Lovell and his crew their lives in 1970. Apollo 13 was intended to be Nasa's third crewed moon landing. But during the US space agency's mission, manned by Lovell and fellow astronauts John Swigert and Fred Haise, an oxygen tank in the service module exploded roughly 200,000 miles (322,000 kilometers) from Earth. Lovell famously informed mission control, 'Houston, we've had a problem.' Hanks later immortalized the line in the film, which slightly altered the phrase to, 'Houston, we have a problem.' With their power and life-support systems crippled, the crew was forced to abandon their lunar landing and use several engine burns to slingshot around the far side of the moon, setting a course back to Earth. About three days after the explosion, they splashed down safely in the South Pacific, concluding what became known as the Apollo program's 'successful failure'. 'His many voyages around Earth and on to so-very-close to the moon were not made for riches or celebrity, but because such challenges as those are what fuels the course of being alive,' Hanks wrote on Friday of Lovell. 'And who better than Jim Lovell to make those voyages.' 'On this night of a full Moon, he passes on – to the heavens, to the cosmos, to the stars. God speed you, on this next voyage, Jim Lovell,' reads the end of the tribute. Lovell died on Thursday at age 97 in Lake Forest, Illinois, Nasa said. The cause of death was not immediately released. He made a brief cameo in Apollo 13 as the captain of the USS Iwo Jima, the Navy ship that recovered the crew after splashdown. The film was nominated for a total of nine Oscars, including best picture. Hanks starred in Apollo 13 alongside actors Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris, Kathleen Quinlan and the late Bill Paxton.
