Explosive Love Island scenes spark hundreds of Ofcom complaints over girls' treatment of boys

Ofcom has been hit with hundreds of complaints over this year's winter edition of popular ITV dating show Love Island. The TV watchdog has said it has received 300 complaints from disgruntled viewers over some of the islanders' behaviour.

It comes as fans have recently taken aim at contestants Tanya Manhenga and Olivia Hawkins for how they have been treated their partners Kai Fagan and Shaq Muhammad in wake of a very chaotic Casa Amor and Movie Night. Ofcom says a large proportion of the complaints came during the first instalment of Movie Night, which took place shortly after an explosive Casa Amor recoupling.

The watchdog says many complaints revolved around "Olivia's behaviour and treatment of Kai." During a recent episode, Olivia blasted Kai in a heated exchange and demanded he issue her with an apology, as reported by the Daily Star.
