The actor has been inundated with support online from both fans and colleagues.
Alice Oseman, creator of the LGBTQI+ series says:
I truly don’t understand how people can watch Heartstopper and then gleefully spend their time speculating about sexualities and judging based on stereotypes. I hope all those people are embarrassed as FUCK. Kit you are amazing 💖
