Ofcom responds with decision over thousands of ITV Love Island complaints

The drama of this year's Love Island is starting to feel like a distant memory as we continue to see the loved-up couples get on with their new lives outside the famous villa.

But nearly a month on from the grand final, which saw Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti crowned winners, the ITV2 dating show has discovered if it will face any action from Ofcom after it was hit with thousands of complaints during the eight weeks it was on air.

The broadcast watchdog revealed they received 7,482 complaints about the popular programme during its two-month broadcast with complaints related to "alleged misogynistic and bullying behaviour" by some of the male contestants. Other complaints made were centred around "alleged misogyny, emotional abuse and coercive control" by the male contestants.
