Love Island has received almost 1,000 complaints, with the majority related to "alleged bullying" towards contestant Scott van-der-Sluis by other islanders during a movie night, according to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom. The episode, which aired on July 9, featured the contestants watching video clips of various incidents that occurred when the couples were separated between the main villa and Casa Amor.
Scott, a 22-year-old footballer from north Wales, became the center of attention after his partner Catherine Agbaje decided to recouple with Elom Ahlijah-Wilson following her time in the second villa. In a clip shown during the episode, Scott expressed that he was missing Catherine after she left for Casa Amor but suggested that he wouldn't feel the same once new female contestants arrived at the villa.
Catherine responded to the clip by stating, "It's because he didn't get the girls – that's clearly what it was." Fellow islander Kady McDermott joined in, adding, "Apparently, none of the girls wanted you. That's why." Scott defended himself, saying, "It wasn't that though. It's not a matter of none of the girls wanting me because I didn't do anything about it."
