Last year, another former contestant of Love Island , Sophie Gradon , died aged 32. An inquest into her death
Meanwhile, a Government minister has told the BBC that The Public has "started to enjoy reality TV a bit too much" and needs to take a "step back".
"When something so awful happens it is natural to enter a period of soul-searching and ask whether anything could have been done to help avoid something so terrible happening," the Itv statement continued.
The Statement outlines the support currently on offer, which includes every contestant debriefing with a medical Team - including a psychological Consultant - After they leave The Show .
Itv said that six months ago, the programme asked Dr Paul Litchfield - a well-being expert and former adviser to the Government - to carry out a review into Love Island 's medical processes.
"This review has led us to extend our support processes to offer therapy to all Islanders and not only those that reach out to us," it went on.
"And we will be delivering bespoke training to all future Islanders to include Social Media and Financial Management .
"The Key focus will be for us to no longer be reliant on The Islanders asking us for support but for us to proactively check in with them on a regular basis. "

Ms Doyle-Price called the Two Deaths a "wake-up call".
After Mr Thalassitis found fame on Love Island , he also appeared on the reality show Celebs Go Dating in 2018. He split from The Only Way Is Essex star Megan Mckenna late last year.
Following his death, many other contestants of reality shows have spoken out to share tributes and for people After they leave the programme and others like it.

And there has long been discussion over
Big Brother contestants could often leave the house to be greeted with booing crowds, and in its early series The Show employed an on-screen "resident psychologist".
For more recent reality TV shows, such as Love Island and The Bachelor , there may not be waiting crowds as contestants get eliminated from The Show , but they may instead endure trolling and negative comments on Social Media .
