The mother of Gemma Owen has criticised the "bullying" of Tasha Ghouri by the boys on Love Island.
Tasha, who is the first deaf contestant to appear on the ITV show, was left in tears last week after a public vote left her in the bottom three.
Since that moment, Luca Bish and Dami Hope in particular have been critical of her and during Tuesday night's show (July 19), the pair decided to pie Tasha for her previous actions towards boyfriend Andrew Le Page.
In the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, Dami revealed he chose Tasha because she usually "gets away with a lot of stuff".
Meanwhile, Luca said: "I could give you a list, but I'll let it go for today. It's just a game."
It left her visibly upset - and Louise Owen was less than impressed, as the Daily Star report.
Commenting on a recent post on Tasha's Instagram, she said: "I hope Tasha is ok, I feel it’s close to bullying now which is so sad to see."
This will also cause conflict later in the show - as if Gemma reaches the point, Louise will enter the villa to meet Luca as part of the 'meet the parents' episode.
Sitting with Paige and Andrew, Tasha explained it wasn't the pies that bothered her as she was expecting them.
"It's the reasons after they gave, that was nasty," she said.
Later on in the episode, Dami and Luca both apologised to the dancer.
However, some viewers branded the apology fake, and claimed the boys were told to say sorry by producers.
