Apparently its not Melissa Ede (although the news is reporting her death), but someone else who was due to be on today.
I feel horrible for the family of the person who died, but it all seems a bit bizarre? I'm sure there's probably been people who had died or relapsed after the show before, yet no legal action has been taken and the show has continued. It must be something quite serious for them to stop filming and investigate. I'm also guessing the person hasn't been identified due to legal reasons.
I do agree that the show did more bad than good. I did watch sometimes, and it seemed it did genuinely help some people who needed it (and maybe couldn't afford help otherwise, although its tit that a show like this was their last resort for counselling or addiction help).
Also...aren't both JK and Love Island ITV shows? Odd how they've pulled JK over this, yet have another season of Love Island coming up despite the 2 deaths.
