Flack, the former host of Love Island, was found dead at her London apartment in February, weeks before she was due to stand trial for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend. Flacks death renewed debate about the pressures placed on those in the public eye and the ethics of reality television. Love Island deposits young and attractive contestants in a tropical paradise, where they must pair up or risk being exiled. Two former Love Island contestants, Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis, died by suicide in 2018 and 2019.
