Colin Thompson felt anyone making the choice to appear should be aware of the potential consequences.
He added: “Their choice to go in and ‘be famous’. Suppose they could all get a proper job like the majority of us?”
Craig Lister was more sympathetic: “The problem is not everyone gets famous or they get the wrong attention and they need a care package for when that happens. Which none really provide.”
