Channel 4’s social experiment, “Virgin Island,” takes another turn toward the intensely personal this time. In an exercise designed to promote self-reflection (or possibly just maximum awkwardness), the participants are asked to confront themselves naked in a mirror. As one might expect, this leads to some serious soul-searching – and a few unexpected revelations.
Louise finds the workshop particularly confronting, triggering painful memories from her past. Even the seemingly confident Charlotte lets her guard down, revealing her weight loss surgery in a moment of raw honesty. And then there’s Dave, the accountant who began the experiment as a bit of a sceptic. This week, he appears transformed, taking some unexpected leaps in sexual exploration with surrogate-partner therapist Kat. As with previous episodes, Zac keeps busy attempting to charm any girls that he comes into contact with.
“Virgin Island” airs Tuesday, 20 May at 9:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
