The show has upped its mental health support for the contestants, including financial advice, social media training on how to deal with online trolls, and therapy sessions. They will also have mental health first aiders on-site 24\/7 for the contestants use. Niall Aslam spoke out about him having to leave multiple times on Tiktok and the effects of leaving the villa after only 9 days saying in a video \u2018do I think Love Island meant to send me into physios? No, do I think it was handled terribly, yes.\u2019 Lucie Donlan almost quit in 2019 when she felt she was being ganged up on by her housemates. Sadly, Mike Thalassitis, Sophie Gardon, Sophie&#8217;s boyfriend Aaron Armstrong also lost his life 20 days after her and Caroline Flack all took their lives after being linked with the show. The show has put many procedures in place to help people who become \u2018famous overnight\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>However, the show has had some amazing success stories. 5 of the couples from the winter Love Island 2020 are still together, including the winners Paige Turley &amp; Finn Tapp, Molly-Mae, and Tommy Fury remain in a stable relationship. Alex Bowen &amp; Olivia Buckland were the first couple to get married after being on the show, and Cara De La Hoyde &amp; Nathan Massey also got married and have children.
