Not every viewer is looking out for behaviour that might amount to abuse, or can identify it easily. It's dangerous.' RuthKDavison (CEO RefugeCharity) writes about the dangers of unknowingly watching abuse unfold on LoveIsland.
When relationships are forming in the pressure cooker of the villa, it’s important that producers ensure those taking part in the show understand unhealthy behaviours to look out for in future partners. For example, accusing your partner of ‘cheating’; or overreacting and ‘blowing up’ over small issues are all behaviours that could be part of a pattern of abuse.
For emotional support, you can contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247. Alternatively, for practical and emotional support, please contactYou can also reach the National Centre for Domestic Violence on 0800 270 9070 or text NCDV to 60777. Abusive partners will often play mind games to make you doubt your version of events and control who you can speak to. Seeing those behaviours normalised as part of an entertainment programme is deeply dangerous for someone already experiencing abuse, reinforcing everything the abuser is saying and doing.
