  • In a raw, honest interview, former Bachelorette Angie Kent opens up about the tough side of filming reality TV. Having recently been eliminated from Dancing With The Stars, her fourth television show, the 30-year-old MCo Beauty ambassador warns that “you’ve got to be careful” when it comes to protecting your mental health while filming. Angie warns us that we need better care for reality TV contestants following British Love Island host Caroline Flack’s death, and says she’s worried shows like Married At First Sight sometimes push things too far. The former Gogglebox star and proud feminist also talks online bullying, her 30th birthday, reveals where things are at with Carlin and opens up about her history with acne and an eating disorder which has completely changed her approach to make up and skincare.

    Plus we dissect THAT MAFS toothbrush incident and discuss all our thoughts on Netflix’s new reality hit Love Is Blind.
