Ofcom received 650 complaints after last night’s (01.07.18) ‘Love Island’.
The UK communications regulator have confirmed they have been inundated with feedback following the episode, making it the ITV2 show’s most complained about ep, with most of the complainants unhappy that Dani Dyer was shown a video of her boyfriend Jack Fincham revealing he used to date one of the new Islanders.
An Ofcom spokeswoman told BANG Showbiz: "We are considering these complaints against our broadcasting rules, before deciding whether or not to investigate."
Dani burst into tears after she was shown the video in the villa, but some viewers took to Twitter to claim the clip had been taken out of context.
The 21-year-old actress appeared to be concerned that the 26-year-old stationery salesman might have got close to his ex Ellie Jones after she was brought into the second villa, Casa Amor.
But Dani is unaware Jack has been faithful to her and has even been sleeping outside to ensure he doesn’t have to share a bed with another woman.
One viewer wrote: "Made an official complaint to ofcom about tonight’s episode of Love Island because mental health comes before entertainment thank you and goodnight (sic)"
Another posted: "Used to actually slag people off who complained about a tv programme but I actually reported love island tonight cause I genuinely thought it was evil and disgusting and unnecessary emotional distress caused for no reason when that isn’t what’s happening at all (sic)"
One Twitter user shared: "Very unpleasant viewing tonight Love Island , the emotional turmoil you are putting Dani through was unacceptable and clearly has left lots of people worried for her – I have reported to Ofcom really think you need to take your responsibilities much more seriously! (sic)"
