Is there a legal precedence for this yet? If not, then nothing is certain. In France, the legality is that people in reality TV shows are employees and entitled to employment rights. French reality TV show contestants therefore have to be given a number of hours when there are no cameras operating, and they are covered by the same laws as all other employees. It doesn't sound to me as the UK has any legal stance for now:
