In past series, islanders' teams used their accounts to encourage viewers to vote for them and build up their following. However, they were often subject to vile abuse from trolls and there were even occasional spats between contestants' family and friends. The show is also cracking down on gaslighting following incidents such as Jacques O'Neill and Paige Thorne's ill-fated romance that viewers found uncomfortable to watch.
The new rules package reads: "As part of extended measures to protect both the Islanders and their families from the adverse effects of social media, participants will be asked to pause handles and accounts on their social media platforms for the duration of their time on the show. Islanders’ accounts will remain dormant while they are in the Villa, so that nothing is published on their behalf.
