BBC producers given mental health training after Mike Thalassitis' death

“We work with lots of companies to make sure how they act on all the programmes they make is consistent. It’s an important issue across the industry.”

A BBC spokesman said: “ ”Discussion and planning around care for those taking part in our programmes is always a core part of all our production when shows involve members of the public.

“We continue to work with independent producers, external specialists and others in the industry to develop best practice in this area.

zaraholland11 It's not the shows fault , it's the deeply troubled contestants that seek fame then can't handle it . Don't enter the lion's den if you can't handle cats .

davidjeaster1 They couldn’t have helped them when they left the show. It makes me so angry. Have never watched it and never will 😞

jennyansah111 I also think every realityshow shld adopt the script (or similar) which the voiceover says before every episode of towie to remind *the gullible* that the cast are real but scenes are made up for our entertainment! A reminder that it’s *real people* acting MikeThalassitis
