I am not sure whether it was deliberate or not but you can imagine they wanted us to share showers . The mental health charity MIND has criticised the programme for enrolling Jadine Johnson, a candidate who was sectioned under the Mental Health Act in 2003, expressing fears that a vulnerable person was being used for entertainment. Moving from BBC Two, Two 90-minute specials were aired during the series run.
