Big Brother is back with a rebooted version set to air on ITV on Sunday and the show's producers have now unveiled the welfare package created to support this year's contestants
Big Brother bosses have confirmed there will be a ‘social media blackout’ for housemates when the show returns this week.
The programme’s bosses said housemates will be required to adhere to a social media blackout - with contestants, their friends and their families asked to not post any content on their individual social accounts for the duration of their time in the House. Before the show begins, the contestants will also undergo respect and inclusion training to set out expectations around use of language and acceptable behaviour in the House.
“The protocols in place for the 2023 series have been carefully considered bringing together the experience of ITV’s compliance and Duty of Care team together with the independent mental health professionals we have engaged and our own in-house production, editorial, casting and support teams.” Dr Paul Litchfield, a Chief Medical Officer who independently reviews ITV’s duty of care protocols, said: “The measures applied to safeguard the mental health of contributors to reality TV shows have evolved considerably over the past five years. ITV has worked with the team at Banijay to share expertise and to ensure that current best practice is applied for the 2023 series of Big Brother.”
