ITV Love Island official complaints rise as viewers share anger over islanders' behaviour

Complaints made about this year's Love Island have continued to grow ahead of the final. The ITV2 dating show returned to screens early last month and is due to end on Monday (August 1). And it has been another dramatic series and not just on-screen as thousands of viewers have flocked to make official complaints.

Last week it was confirmed that thousands of complaints had been made to Ofcom in the space of one week. The broadcasting watchdog revealed that 2,481 viewers contacted them on July 17, to complain over alleged misogynistic behaviour by some of the male contestants. It comes after Luca’s sister issued a statement to apologise on behalf of her brother, saying they didn't condone his behaviour following the fallout from Movie Night.

A further 427 people contacted the broadcasting watchdog following the episode of Aftersun, the spin-off programme which airs weekly, on the same night to hit out at the comments made about Ekin-Su and the treatment of Jacques O’Neill, who quit the villa earlier in the week, during his interview with Laura Whitmore.
