Love Island has announced a new welfare programme for 2023
Love Island contestants will be trained in spotting “controlling and coercive behaviour” as part of a new set of welfare measures set to be put in place from January’s series.
ITV has confirmed that participants will be offered resources to help them "identify negative behaviours in relationships" and "understand the behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercive behaviour". There will also be support on things such as social media trolling, how to cope with being filmed around the clock and what to expect from life outside the villa following the show.
The new welfare offering follows criticism of some Islanders’ behaviour on the show over recent years, with domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid confirming in July that it had discussions with ITV after the charity was inundated with posts flagging the “misogynistic and controlling” behaviour during last summer’s series.
