It has been revealed that some finalists have been devastated and shocked with Futureproof's surprise exit last Saturday. It has now worried producers that some of the finalists are struggling with the stress of the competition.
A source told The Mirror newspaper: "Morale among the contestants has taken a big nosedive after last week's surprise eviction. Everybody thought Futureproof were safe, so to see them go has really put the fear of God into the other finalists. A lot of them have been really struggling with the pressure and the fear is that they're not strong enough to handle it. They now have a counsellor on hand 24/7."
Alisha's mother Sharon is worried about her daughter after receiving a number of emotional calls: "I am worried for health. She is struggling under the pressure and I think it is starting to get to her. I speak to her almost every day on the phone and a few times she has been in tears. Being in the bottom two for the first two weeks really knocked her confidence."
