ITV's Love Island final sparks major complaint from viewers just 20 minutes in

Love Island fans were left making the same complaint during Monday night's final, with frustrations being voiced just 20 minutes into the live broadcast.

It was back in early January that the latest series of the ITV made its debut, with new presenter Maya Jama at the helm. While it's viewing figures haven't quite matched the 2 million plus who tuned in every night for past summer series, Love Island has still kept its loyal fanbase, who all tune into ITV2 every night to get their latest fix of villa action.

The last 24 hours have been rather chaotic for Love Island, with Maya Jama 'ruining' the result on Sunday night, when she revealed both on her Instagram story and in a preview clip from the latest episode of spin-off Aftersun that Will and Jessie had left in fifth place, after being chosen as least compatible by their fellow Islanders.

Their exit left Tom and Samie, Shaq and Tanya, Ron and Lana and bookies' favourites Kai and Sanam to battle it out for the £50,000 prize and it was down to Maya to lead proceedings as the final took over the villa on Monday night. The early part of the Love Island final saw the remaining couples all get a dance lesson ahead of a final romantic evening together.

The show then cut to its first ad break and, after a brief second part, there was another break for ads, meaning two breaks in just 20 minutes. And that was a fact that did not go down well with viewers, who weren't happy that their enjoyment was being disrupted.

Taking to complain, one ranted: "20 minutes in and 2 adverts. What are you playing at ITV!!!!" Equally annoyed, a second tweeted: "Sooooooo we’re having adverts every 2 minutes then?! FRO itv"

And, e,uding to what happened a night earlier, another irate fan wrote: "Can Maya leak the result again? I'm bored 20 minutes in seen nothing and there's been 2 adverts please put me out of my misery"
