Gemma Owen's mum has shared her concerns over Luca Bish and Dami Hope's behaviour towards Tasha Ghouri on Love Island.
Louise Owen, whose daughter is in a couple with Luca, broke her silence on the pair's negativity towards the model.
Over the last week, viewers have grown increasingly uncomfortable over Luca and Dami's attitude towards Tasha, with some dubbing it "hostile" and "bullying" behaviour.
After the Snog, Marry, Pie game, Louise accused the pair of going "too far" as their remarks left Tasha in tears.
Gemma's mum shared a comment underneath a video of Tasha and Andrew, which had been posted by her friends and family.
They captioned it: "Whatever happens tonight we’re just happy they have each other! Edit by @sdmnscd #tandrew #loveisland."
Writing below in the comments, Louise said with a crying and heart emoji: "I hope Tasha is ok, I feel it’s close to bullying now which is so sad to see."
Tasha was left in tears after hearing Dami and Luca's brutal reasons for pieing her, with the fishmonger saying: "I could give you a list as long as Adam but we let it go for today and it is just a game."
While Dami said: "The reason I pied you, I feel like you usually get away with a lot of stuff but this pie, you weren't going to get away with..."
Speaking later to Andrew and Paige, Tasha became emotional as she said that while being pied didn't bother her, the reasons given made it feel like it was a "personal attack" as they were laughing at her.
Andrew was furious, declaring he has "no time" for the pair while Paige said: "It wasn't just a game, that became very personal. They knew it would make her upset."
Luca and Dami later apologised, but fans weren't convinced and suggested bosses stepped in to tell them to say sorry.
The fishmonger had said: "I do actually genuinely feel bad right now for what I said and I'm sorry."
Dami also spoke to Tasha, saying: "I do support you and Andrew and obviously we have our opinions about everything that happened.
"I have said to you I thought you always get away with everything so I just thought it would be funny to say 'you always get away with everything well you're not getting away with this pie'.
He went on: "I don't want it to be like I'm ganging up on you. I actually want us to be friends."
However, some viewers branded the apology fake, and claimed the boys were told to say sorry by producers.
One person wrote: "Fully convinced Luca & Dami we’re told to apologise to Tasha by producers so they’d stop getting complaints cos those boys don’t have the emotional maturity for that."
Another said: "Producers defo told luca and dami to appologise to tasha. Looked so staged."
