Love Island contestants to get training to deal with money and social media

Love Island bosses will offer training to future contestants - rather than those who ask for it.

Training on how to deal with social media and financial management will be offered - following a six month review.

The news comes following the death of former contestant Mike Thalassitis - who took part in the show in 2017.

The 26-year-old former amateur footballer died last weekend.

His death then led to questions about the show's after-care, especially after a tweet from Dom Lever.

The former contestant outlined his experiences of the shows after-care following Mike's death:

He's the second former contestant to pass away in the space of a year, after 2016 contestant Sophie Gradon died last June.

The former Miss Great Britain was found in her family home in Ponteland, with police at the time not treating her death as suspicious.

Her inquest was due to take place this week, but it has been postponed.
