Love Island stars appear at MPs' inquiry into reality TV
Two stars of Love Island are appearing at a parliamentary inquiry into care on reality TV shows.in front of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee in Westminster.
The committee is investigating whether enough support is offered during and after filming on reality TV.The inquiry was set up after the death of a man who had failed a lie detector test on The Jeremy Kyle Show, and the suicides of two former Love Island contestants. Both Biala and Somerville told the committee they were given psychiatric evaluations before they appeared on the show and saw doctors in the days and weeks after the series ended."The whole time on the show is fine, when you come off it's fine, but because you are in the spotlight, no matter what you do, there will be a story about it," Somerville said.
"The press will jump on to anything. If you have a public break-up, you think, this is the worst period ever and then you get trolls who add fire to it - that was the worst part of being on the show. "They do a psych before you go on and when the show is finished you do another psych, and then again a week later. But it should be one three or six months down the line because that's when you're dealing with it."
