ITV Love Island beats I'm A Celebrity to being slapped with most complaints this year

A single episode of Love Island has beaten several I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here moments from the latest series to be the most complained about TV event of the year. Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has confirmed the top 10 moments which have been slapped with the most complaints in 2022 as the year nears a close.

The apparent 'misogynistic and bullying behaviour' on this summer's edition of Love Island, which saw Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti emerge as winners after eight weeks in the ITV2 dating show's Spanish villa, has been confirmed as the most complained about moment on television in the past 12 months.

In regulator Ofcom's annual report, an episode of the reality show on July 17 received 2,630 complaints relating to "alleged misogynistic and bullying behaviour by some contestants in the villa" with Ofcom concluding no formal investigation was needed because of how the behaviour was put into context.
