After filming finished on the show, Will took time out to visit his family as he put a renewed focus on his physical and mental health.

Poulter also makes sure to keep a "regulated distance from social media".
He said: "I try and maintain a kind of healthy and regulated distance from social media, because often on social media you're exposing yourself to the opinions of people that you don't know."
