Virgin Island: Channel 4's 'unbelievable' TV show episode release schedule and finale date
Channel 4's latest dating show sees 12 adult virgins sent to a luxury, tropical retreat to undertake a course in intimacy.
Channel 4's latest reality dating show Virgin Island has sparked a fierce debate among viewers.
The controversial series sends 12 adult virgins to a sumptuous Mediterranean retreat, where they undergo an intensive course on intimacy. Under the tutelage of sex experts Dr Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman, participants receive practical lessons ranging from touch therapy to tantric massage.
Virgin Island premiered on May 12, introducing the audience to a group of young individuals eager to conquer their sexual anxieties. The cast includes 30-year-old civil servant Ben and 22-year-old care advisor Louise, the oldest and youngest participants respectively.
Louise shared her reasons for joining the show, revealing that she "never imagined" taking part in such a programme.
"My friend actually sent me the application as a joke, and I thought, 'Why not?' I was at the point where I was willing to try anything and had just accepted that there must've just been something wrong with me - I think the fact that my friends would see the word 'virgin' and think of me says enough to be honest," she said.

"Started watching Virgin Island and I am soooooo uncomfortable but cannot stop watching it," admitted another.
