She told the MailOnline: “The first time around I was under their therapy and was medicated. I contemplated suicide during filming so I got PTSD from it.”

In addition, Ines said: “I lost all my body weight. I couldn’t even walk really, I had to be carried by producers from scene to scene I was so weak and frail.”

To make matters worse, Ines has been mercilessly trolled since the show has aired in the UK.

Despite filming the series two years ago, the show has only just aired in the UK.

Ines added: “It’s not like hate, it is literally really threatening. It is worse than the Australia backlash. It’s really savage.”

When asked if the show was fake or staged, she answered on Instagram: “The whole purpose of a TV show – if you do the math – networks have money to make or they can’t run.”

She later added: “We are puppets filming a TV show for your entertainment.”

Meanwhile, Sam claimed the show orchestrated his affair with Ines.

Furthermore, he said: “I did what I was asked to do with all of that, I didn’t really care at the time what it looked like. I was in the zone. I’ve acted before in TV commercials… it was a job for me.”
