PS: Worried ITV hires team of sex therapists... but only girls sign up

ITV has hired a team of psychologists for Love Island contestants to talk to after they have sexual encounters on camera – but only the girls have signed up.

Sources say female contestants, in particular, have been encouraged to make use of the on-site therapists in the wake of the men’s decision to form a ‘Do Bits Society’ to discuss their sex lives. The girls have formed a rival ‘Dry Hump Society’, which invites members to celebrate abstinence.

The therapists are also conducting off-camera discussions in the villa’s private Beach Hut.

A source says: ‘The girls have councillors who talk to them about sex to see if they’re okay. Having sex on camera has an emotional impact, so they all need it.’

Throughout the series, the contestants have been encouraged to make use of the ‘Hideaway’ – a secluded room where couples can spend time together. ITV keeps its night vision cameras rolling continuously there.

A spokesman for ITV said: ‘The service is very much open to both the boys and the girls.’
