The death of popular “Love Island” host Caroline Flack has sent shockwaves across the U.K. and again raised long-running concerns about broadcaster ITV’s support of cast members o…
Flack’s death comes almost a year after the suicide of former “Love Island” contestant Mike Thalassitis and, previously, the reported suicide of contestant Sophie Gradon in June 2018. In response to the latter deaths, ITV rolled out an extensive plan to improve its aftercare practices for contestants, ensuring support long after they appear on the hit show, which is watched by millions every night in the U.K., where it airs across two months in the summer, and most recently, winter.
“She was distraught they didn’t stand by her. And distraught about the lack of support she was given. Caroline and I were devastated to attend the funeral of our friend Mike Thalassitis last year. I cannot believe we are here again,” he wrote. To Wootton’s point, however, ITV will receive its share of scrutiny in the wake of Flack’s death. The broadcaster said earlier this year that the door was “still open” for Flack to return to host the summer edition of “Love Island,” but has made no further announcements in regards to her future with the broadcaster.
Ahead of her death, Flack had reportedly received word that the Crown Prosecution Service was forging ahead with her trial, which was set to begin on March 4.
