Before going on Virgin Island, she revealed: “Despite having a Vaginismus diagnosis for years, I had only made minimal progress and was starting to lose hope of ever being healed.”

The new TV star also added that she also signed up to Virgin Island because she wanted to “overcome her religious shame around sex”.

Meanwhile, revealing why he wanted to do the show, Alex said:“I applied because anxiety had become tangled up with sex and pleasure for me, to the point that intimacy felt like fear, pressure and performance rather than enjoyment.

“I wanted expert help to break that cycle, get out of my head, and learn to approach sex as something safe, connected and fun.”
