A source told The Sun newspaper: “Bosses are leaving no stone unturned this year.
“Whereas the first day of freedom after the villa was historically a free-for-all, they are now making everyone stay put and have a ‘down day’ with bespoke sessions.
“There was a feeling they let them loose too soon and with not enough advice so they’re just changing it entirely this year.”
Show bosses made changes to the aftercare regime following the tragic deaths of former Islanders Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon.
The sourced added: “It’s a day of adjusting back to civilian life. Their lives aren’t going to be the same again so experts will be on hand for any questions or worries they have.”
It has not been confirmed where the location of the Islanders’ 24-hour training is, but it is said the villa favourites will undergo a minimum of eight therapy sessions once they return to the UK.

Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea were crowned the ‘Love Island’ winners in last night’s (29.07.19) final, despite only being together for 14 days.
In June, ITV head honchos went before a Commons culture select committee’s inquiry into reality TV yesterday to share documents issued to Islanders before they headed to the villa, including a 27-page contract and an aftercare form.
In the contract, Islanders were warned the public may “quickly lose interest” in them if they become famous, and that the main goal of going on the show should be “to find love” rather than fame.
It reads: “Taking part in ‘Love Island’ will hopefully be a very positive experience for you. However, when you resume your regular life, there are potential downsides to be aware of.
“If you’re hoping that you will become famous by taking part in the show, there are no guarantees that this will happen. This is a dating show where the main goal is to find love.
“You may find yourself in the public spotlight in ways that you didn’t anticipate, including press interest and negative comments on social media. You could become famous but then find that the public quickly loses interest.
“Your family and friends, as well as your past actions, may also become the subject of negative press attention.”
