Love Island is watched by millions for its high level of drama as heads are turned and bombshells are dumped.
But with drama comes controversy which then leads to Ofcom being bombarded with complaints about the hit ITV2 dating show. Following Adam Collard's return to the Love Island villa perhaps we can expect more complaints to be made to Ofcom.
His original stint in the villa, in 2018, saw him being accused of gaslighting his love interest at the time - Rosie Williams. This time round he is already upsetting the islanders coming in between the already established couples - and he claimed that he hadn't even started yet.
