Love Island's Mimii Ngulube predicts her mental health training will make her the villa's 'designated therapist' and insists show's lack of diversity problem has 'very much improved'

Love Island star Mimii Ngulube has opened up on how beneficial she thinks her previous mental health training will be on the show and defended the ITV2 series from criticism over its lack of diversity.

Several former Islanders including Samira Mighty, Laura Anderson, Zachariah Noble, Siânnise Fudge, Alex Miller, Zara McDermott and Adam Collard, have spoken about the effect of the show on their mental health, such as struggles with self-esteem issues and depression. Following the tragic suicides of former Islanders Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis, and host Caroline Flack, ITV introduced further measures to ensure stars are fully supported before, during and after the filming period. One of the newer welfare measures introduced is Islanders' loved ones are no longer allowed to post on their behalf on their social media accounts while they are in the villa, in a bid to reduce trolling (Chloe Burrows pictured on show)
