Well, well, well, it seems ITV is back in the hot seat as the Love Island All Stars are throwing some shade on their aftercare policies. Yep, you heard that right—contestants who’ve played this game not once, but twice, are claiming that their second time in the villa was worse than the first. And we thought a comeback was supposed to be a fresh start!
After the network rolled out their duty of care policies in response to some tragic events we’d all rather forget, the question remains: Are they really working? According to sources, former contestants like Anton Danyluk and Luis Morrison are spilling some serious tea, and let’s just say it’s not exactly a glamorous review.
Luis has been particularly vocal about his struggles, claiming that after his not-so-stellar reception post-All Stars, when he reached out for therapy, it felt like the support just wasn’t cutting it. I mean, when you need therapy after a reality show, it’s definitely a red flag, right?
And let’s not gloss over the drama—Luis was kicked from the villa after just EIGHT days, and the online backlash was brutal. Talk about a pressure cooker! To top it all off, his ex is stirring the pot even more, alleging he owes her thousands in child support. Honestly, the reality TV world is serving up chaos on a silver platter.
At this point, it’s clear that even with all the policies and guidelines, our favorites are still struggling to get the support they truly need. Sending all the love to them, because they definitely deserve better. ITV really needs to step up their game—this situation is just too complicated for anyone’s good right now.
