Their appearances were part of a parliamentary committee probe into reality TV and talk shows and the support TV companies provide participants.
Wednesday's session of the House of Commons' Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee featured former participants Yewande Biala and Marcel Somerville, who answered questions on the role of producers in influencing the behavior of contestants, mental health support provided to them and how they were prepared for life after the show.
Meanwhile, Somerville said he had not received any training, but figured out how to deal with social media issues. "There will be racist stuff," he said. "I went through privacy settings and blocked certain words."fame hit only later. "The whole time on the show is fine," Somerville told the committee, suggesting that some time after coming off the show is when things get harder. "The press will jump on to anything.
The committee also asked if producers influence contestants' behavior or if the way the show is edited distorts reality. Biala said the editing of the show was fair in general given the limitations of having an hour of air time to sum up a full day. "They can only show what you've said and what you've done," she said. "I was shown the way I acted. It was exactly how it was, and I was happy with it.
