Love Island was the TV show with the most complaints made to Ofcom in 2022. Over 2,000 people contacted the regulator to express their opposition after the infamous Movie Night episode, which aired on July 17.
Many viewers were horrified by what they saw as misogynistic behaviour by some of the men on the show towards the women, with particular concern over the treatment of Ekin Su and Tasha Ghouri. Ofcom said of the issue: "Complaints related to alleged misogynistic and bullying behaviour by some contestants in the villa, and we carefully assessed each and every one of these complaints.
"We ultimately concluded that the programme did not warrant formal investigation because of how this behaviour was put into context on the programme."
