Will social media ban protect Love Islanders?
Maya Jama will be taking over presenting duties for the 2023 winter edition of Love IslandBikinis, drama and love triangles - the UK's most popular dating show, Love Island, is back on screens later.
Psychologist Jo Hemmings, who has worked behind the scenes on a variety of reality TV shows, tells BBC Newsbeat that Love Island now has a "gold standard" when it comes to duty of care. "I think he then recruited a few of my family members to help. There was a whole squad of them in a group chat [deciding] on what to post."Faye Winter was a contestant on the 2020 summer series of Love Island. She made the final with Teddy Soares.
While Faye has a huge following on social media, her time on the show created headlines and backlash. One argument with Teddy prompted 25,000 Ofcom complaints - Faye later apologised."I'm not naïve to social media," Jo - who works in marketing - says. "But I think actually, it's an opportunity for you to sit and watch your loved one on telly, because it's bizarre enough they're already on your TV screen."Chyna Mills - who was on the last series - says she was worried for her sister, who ran her account while she was in the villa.
Victoria says she saw "really vile" messages, with some even telling the contestant "not to be here anymore"."I think [the rule change] is potentially a bad thing because it can create a backlog of hate and abuse that can be piled up just in time for them getting their phone back," he says.Some people have highlighted another potential side-effect of contestants' social media silence: picking up fewer followers if their account isn't active.
