From true crime to reality TV – and, increasingly, drama based on real-life events – duty of care to programme contributors is now a key topic across the production community. Recent controversies around Strictly Come Dancing have only emphasised further the importance of duty of care procedures.

It’s that time of the year again. 12 more singletons are entering the Majorcan love nest looking for a relationship, a brand deal or both.
Before we readjust to life at the Villa, let’s get to know the contestants.
The launch on Monday 3 June will see 10 contestants (often nicknamed ‘the OGs’) enter the villa and pair off. At the end of the episode, a bombshell will enter to shake these couples up, and anyone left single at the next ‘re-coupling’ will be dumped from the island. Over eight weeks plenty more bombshells will enter, with the cast usually totalling over 30.
Only four couples will make it to the final, and then it’s up to the public to vote for their favourite, who will split £50,000 between them.

For the tenth series, the Love Island villa has opened its doors to 10 hopeful singles as they aim to win £50,000 through public vote, and hopefully find love, and a PLT deal, along the way.
After entering the villa, the singles pair into couples and enjoy a few hours of happily partnered bliss before a new “bombshell” enters the villa to steal one half of a couple, leaving someone single. If the single islander isn’t chosen by anyone in the next recoupling, they will be dumped from the island.
