Fans claimed that Shakira had been left ‘broken’ from ‘abusive’ behaviour in the infamous ITV2 villa
LOVE Island have been hit with over 9,000 Ofcom complaints in just a week by furious fans.
ITV2 viewers were left raging and took to the communications regulator to complain about alleged bullying behaviour towards Shakira.
In total 9,339 contacted Ofcom with their concerns.
While 298 complaints related to the way Blu spoke to Toni and 55 complaints were about Megan returning to the villa.
There were also 29 complaints related to concerns for Harry after seeing him upset following his breakup with Helena and disclosing his feelings for Shakira.
But the majority came from viewers who were left furious at the way Shakira had been treated by some of her fellow Islanders.
It's now the second most complained about Love Island week in history - the first was season seven when Faye Winter kicked off after Casa Amor with total of 29,101 in just one week.
Just yesterday fans claimed that Shakira had been left ‘broken’ from ‘abusive’ behaviour in the infamous ITV2 villa.
On Love Island, concerned viewers have tuned in to watch the effects of a love triangle unfold.
Footballer Harry Cooksley was seemingly happy and was closed off in an exclusive couple with Helena Ford.
Shakira then ended her own partnership with Conor Phillips as she admitted that she had 'suppressed emotions' over Harry.
The islanders were then shown a damning clip at the Grafties award ceremony that caused major drama.

Harry was spotted to be openly flirting with Shakira and suggested it was a "good idea" that they spend time with each other.
He then told Conor that he only felt a 'friendship' connection wirth Helena as he called his bond with Shakira more 'natural'.
After his behaviour was exposed, both Shakira and Helena became emotional as they realised they were always pitted against each other.
Both of the pair broke down in tears at several points in the episode as droves of fans took to X - formerly known as Twitter - in a rage, suggesting they should make complaints to Ofcom.
One fan suggested: "Can we all complain to @Ofcom because this is so uncomfortable to watch?? Shakira is BROKEN???"
A second stated: "Never thought I’d do an ofcom complaint in my life and now I’ve done 2 in one week."
While someone else wrote: "'I’ve got goosebumps' when it’s Cach crying but 'Right back at ya' when it’s Shakira.
"And she had to go to the f****** mental health/care team. Na I’m reporting Meg to ofcom. I’ve had enough."
Last week fans saw Shakira break down in floods of tears as she ended her romance with Conor and admitted she wanted to leave.
Meanwhile, Meg and Helena have come under fire for "bullying" some of the girls and have been branded "mean girls".
Toni, Shakira and Yas have repeatedly called them out but they have continued to deflect, leaving fans in uproar.
