Read our privacy policy ITV has announced all contestants of this year's series of Love Island will receive a minimum of eight therapy sessions after the show has ended. The production company has outlined several new "duty of care processes" ahead of the fifth season of the show, one of which is to provide participants with "enhanced psychological support". Eight months ago, the production team working on Love Island enlisted the help of Dr Paul Litchfield, former chief medical officer, to provide guidance with regards to the mental health of the contestants. Following the news of Mike Thalassitis's death earlier this year, former Love Island stars urged the show to provide better mental health support for its contestants.
