And how does Twitter and Facebook not keep a better track of multiple accounts? If a member has been banned off the site, then they should be keeping an eye out on them possibly coming back on under a different name.

And to me any Show that has 3 suicides in the space of 5 or 6 years would make me think that there's something wrong with the programme.

Flack's death had nothing to do with the show, that's pretty obvious by now. Anybody who thinks otherwise clearly hates the show that much.

With Mike, it was his behaviour on Celebs go Dating that received a lot of backlash. He behaved like an utter jerk on that show, worse than he behaved on LI and he was slated on social media every night. He was probably told to behave like that for the controversy and ratings because he was noting like that on LI. (but should we blame that show, nope let's just blame LI) Mike had been struggling to come to terms with the deaths of both his best friend and his grandmother over a short space of time. All of that plus being referred to as ''muggy'' by the press clearly took its toll on him.

Sophie had a history of mental health problems. She had been diagnosed with depression and low self-esteem in 2013 and was taking medication for social anxiety disorder at the time of her death. Nothing to do with the show itself. If the show was that bad then there would be more suicides. The aftercare has obviously improved since Mike's death. There hasn't been any contestants who've committed suicide last year, or even the year before that too when Sophie died.

But the show needs to be axed I think because on that show they expect the contestants to be perfect and people get judged and treated like **** after the show which gives them depression so I do blame the show mostly then followed by the media because if it wasn’t for the show and how they come across the media wouldn’t do anything along with its television I can guarantee people that on that show the contestants are told what to do and how to act just to cause drama because if you think about it love island is a television reality show which lives off drama and the media do bullies them because of that also love island it comes across as you have to be super good looking and be a complete dick or bitch to find love

Your suggestion is a nonsense if only due to the fact that you don’t seem like or even watch the program ..

How about we cancel and ban your favourite program .. XFactor ?
She worked on the program and lost that plum job .. maybe that’s when he problems all started ??

No not really what I’m saying people on that show get body shamed Online people are supposed to look perfect in the media and it does bring down people’s confidence and the contestants who go on the show come across as egotistical who are chasing fame plus so many of these contestants get bullied online Which isn’t right and some of them are probably influenced by producers and are told what to do by them. Three people from the show have now died which is sad. Also from watching clips here and there I personally think the show messes with some of the contestants mental health. Also viewers need to understand that the contestants are human just like everybody else’ who genuinely have feelings and gets emotional. I think love island brings a bad idea to a younger generation on how they should look.

People made fun of her though because of her legs granted she got some support but still trolls can really bring down somebody’s confidence

If there wasn’t a winter series the recent events would have less to do with the show, not to say the reasoning has no connection to the show but it doesn’t help with a series currently airing

We don’t know though .. she was pleased her great friend Laura was hosting the show .. maybe it was a welcome distraction

I like Laura but I think it's either naive of her or disingenuous of her to make out Love Island is an actual programme where people are genuinely looking to find love. In my opinion it's a fame seeking, narcissistic show and probably should be cancelled because it promotes the exact mentality that may have contributed to Caroline's death. RIP to her.

I've watched a couple of episodes here and there with my daughter, yes. So you're kind of right, I don't like it but I have watched it so it's as valid an opinion as yours I would argue

Is it though if you’ve begrudgingly watched just a couple of episodes whilst I watched every single second ??

As mentioned above people like Shaunagh will come out of this feeling fabulous about herself

You can't expect her to watch every episode if she doesn't enjoy the show. That is ridiculous. Her opinion is not less valuable than yours and it's probably even more valuable because her opinion is the right one.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Spot on neem

[Marsh.]

Yeah, Niamh how DARE you have an opinion on the show without getting your permission slip signed first.

[ChristmasNeeve]

With all due respect Zizu, liking a programme doesn't make it ethically correct, infact most times ethically incorrect makes it more popular

[Shaun]

strong returning-banned-member vibes from that one, btw

[bots]

i don't watch the show, so i couldn't care less if it were axed or not.

ITV 2 is not on my watched channel list, so it's not like it would end up being replaced by something i would watch

[Cal.]

They’ve aired a series now in 2020. They should rest it until summer 2021 now.

I mean LI is hardly that bad itself.. its the local fans that are the problem

X Factor etc literally take the piss out of innocent people and parade the on TV for a laugh at their expense and nothing ever gets said about that because its marketed as a family friendly show

yep

X Factor actually got someone on with mental illness and broadcasted their audition. The obvious was Shirlena Johnson, i do admit laughing at her performance when it aired but looking back i don't know how she got on the show, how it was shown and how she got through. She was axed before bootcamp over fears for her mental health which i assume was before x factor started and they still broadcasted her audition.

It was one of the reasons I stopped watching it tbh (among other things)

[Jessica.]

Yeah, X Factor became way less light hearted after a while, it seemed more and more like they were exploiting people and it took the fun out of it for me, I couldn't continue watching.

Absolutely and a lot of those people seemed like they could have had learning difficulties or mental health issues which makes it even more disgusting

Love Island is a great springboard for so many young people to carve a career for themselves and to be successful. Although this is a good thing, I do feel like the show itself has become tainted by the tragedies of Sophie, Mike and Caroline. On top of this, I find the show to be really one-note (same villa, similar challenges, same carbon copies of past contestants, etc.) so I feel like the longer it airs, the less impact it's going to have and the less beneficial it's going to be for those who go on it. Therefore, the less beneficial it becomes for the contestants = the less purpose/place it has on national TV.

I don't think it should be cancelled because of the deaths, but I definitely feel it should wrap up sooner rather than later because I don't fully see the point of having a problematic show continue to air when all that says about us is that we prioritise our own entertainment over the well-being of those people we find our entertainment from. It would be a gesture that doesn't necessary reflect any degree of failure for the show, but moreso a gesture of respect that punctuates the franchise with a more positive note which, despite the sombre circumstances of the cancellation, would signify some sort of notion like "This was great while it lasted, made a huge impact, but now it's time to move on to something new."
