'Love Island' bosses take mental health issues "extremely seriously".
Adam Collard and Paige Thorne on the ITV show
A spokesperson for the hit TV show made the statement after Jacques O'Neill quit 'Love Island' following a bust-up with Adam Collard over partner Paige Thorne, and he subsequently admitted that he "couldn't cope" in the villa.
ITV insisted that it has "rigorous and extensive checks in place" to asses contestants' physical and mental health before they enter the villa.
Speaking to Sky News, the spokesperson added: "This is something we take extremely seriously."
Jacques, 23, recently confessed that he needed to quit the show for his own well-being.
He said: "Doing 'Love Island' was the worst decision of my life."
The TV star - who has been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) - also believes he hit rock bottom during his time in the villa.
He said: "I was ready to break down.
"I was feeling so mentally drained, I just wanted to go home and get myself right.
"It broke me and I was already broken. I was crying my eyes out. I couldn’t cope.
"I was literally feeling awful. It was the worst I’d ever felt in my life."
At one stage, Jacques feared "things could go horribly wrong".
He continued: "At home you can remove yourself from situations, but in there you had to deal with every situation, and in that moment I took my microphone off, and walked straight through the front doors because I just wanted to get out of that place."
'Love Island' previously came under fire for not doing more to help protect the mental health of contestants.
But earlier this year, ITV announced that the latest group of contestants would receive training on how to avoid micro-aggressions.
Islanders also watched a video featuring contestants from previous series discussing their own experiences of fame.
'Love Island' airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
