Pia Miranda copping hate for voting Luki Toki off Survivor, Jess from Angie's season of The Bachelorette was investigated by his employer for comments made on the show, Cyrell facing trolls after smashing a fruit bowl in a furious rage... these are all real people who spent time on our TV screen this year.

These are the real people behind the reality TV shows, the people who have to return home to a forever altered real life.

Clare Verrall was chosen for season 2 of Married at First Sight. She was teamed up with Jono, the guy who famously said ‘she’s not what I ordered’ as she walked down the aisle. How long does it take for someone to get their life back on track after a stint on Australia’s small screen? Clare helps us understand just how difficult that can be.

If you or someone you know is struggling to cope, there are people who care and can listen. Please reach out to:
