It's an extreme case, but it could happen.
Adam Baxter, Ofcom’s Director of Broadcasting Standards, says the television watchdog has put in regulations to guard the well-being of participants in shows such as the ITV2 reality series including, this includes preventing programmes from being broadcasted.
The measures mean that broadcasters have a duty of care for people they feature who might be at risk of harm, such as those who are not used to being in the public eye.that attract a high level of media or social-media interest, involve conflict, emotionally challenging situations, or require a person to disclose life-changing or private aspects of their lives,’ Baxter said.
‘We’ve also made clear that, before a person agrees to take part in a TV or radio show, broadcasters must properly tell them about any possible risks to their welfare, and how they’ll seek to minimise these.’ Former Love Island stars Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis took their own lives after appearing on the show : ‘We have the power in the most serious of cases to fine broadcasters or take away their licence to broadcast. However, we would only use these powers in the most exceptional of cases.’
Baxter stressed that Ofcom won’t be dictating what formats, issues or stories broadcasters can and can’t explore, while also assuring viewers that every single complaint is looked at to make sure both audiences and contestants are protected.Contestants on the 2021 series will be offered ‘a minimum of eight therapy sessions’ on their return home from appearing in the series, ITV said.
