Hundreds of Love Island viewers have complained to Ofcom over scenes of contestants "bullying" Ron Hall. Fans of the ITV2 reality show were left outraged last weekend as the series nine islanders took part in a couple of challenges and games, during which they felt Essex boy Ron was being ganged up on by his peers.
The Mirror reports that couples Ron had previously made about Lana, with whom he has been coupled up with for most of the series, came back to haunt him as the islanders played a game of Chinese Whispers. The task came just two days after the "A Couple of Sorts" challenge, in which the couples had to rank each other, sparking drama.
On March 5, viewers issued 245 complaints to the broadcasting regulator relating to Love Island, with a further 57 lodged the following day. All of these made by fans who felt as though financial advisor Ron had been "bullied" by his fellow islanders.
