Cast your minds back to March this year, when we all had a good laugh at the truly bizarre story of the reality show Eden.

In case you can't remember, Eden was a Channel 4 reality show which saw 23 strangers being cut off from the rest of the rest of the world, and left to set up their own society. Over half the camp left due to the stress and pressure of living in the wilderness, but 10 of the contestants stuck it out for a whole year, leaving in March this year.

However, when they headed back to civilisation they were shocked to find that the show had actually been canned back in August last year and only four episodes had aired. You'd be fuming, wouldn't you?

Just last week, it was revealed that Channel 4 was planning to air the 'dark, unseen' footage which was caught on camera. Eden: Paradise Lost is set to air this week and, ahead of the show, three former contestants appeared on Good Morning Britain to speak about the 'bullying' on the show.

Anton Wright, who stuck it out to the bitter end, told hosts Jeremy Kyle and Kate Garraway: "I was very shocked with some behaviour in there.

"There was little cliques that formed and there's a lot of talk about it being sexism and all this. I don't think it was sexism I think it was bullying."

Katie Tunn, who was also one of the final 10, added: "I expected being close to nature, learning some bush craft skills. But you can't predict what was going to happen. Everyone had different ideas and goals so anything we could have expected it was completely the opposite."

While contestant Jack Campbell said that grouping together a bunch of strangers in a remote part of Scotland was bound to lead to 'fractions'.

Despite it not exactly going to plan, all three said they would do the show again. Presumably they'd want it to be aired this time, though.
