Love Island hit by almost 400 Ofcom complaints in just a week as furious fans hit out at bullying ngocc

LOVE Island has been hit by almost 400 Ofcom complaints in just a week.

Disgruntled fans have contacted the broadcasting watchdog over claims of bullying in the villa.

The Sun has spoken to Ofcom and we can reveal that on July 1 there were 55 complaints made about alleged bullying by Meg and Helena.

This came following the fall out from the heart rate challenge.

The following day, fans made 154 objections to the show after Alima was dumped from the villa.

July 3's episode also brought a wave of complaints from fans.

This time 130 viewers contacted Ofcom over alleged bullying by Meg and Dejon.

This came after the couple vented at Billykiss over a comment she made in the Superman Look Up challenge.

Then on July 4, Ofcom said they received 57 complaints relating to alleged bullying by Dejon and Harry.

Fans were outraged at how Dejon spoke to Billykiss after he confronted her again over her comments the previous day.

Viewers were also annoyed with Harry for his treatment of Shakira, when he once again went off with Helena.

MORE COMPLAINTS

This isn't the first time this series that Love Island has been slammed with Ofcom complaints.

In fact, 1,138 objections were made relating to episodes broadcast on 26, 27 and 29 June.

This time fans mainly cited behaviour from Ben as their cause for complaint.

It came after an argument between Yasmin and Ben.

The dispute began when Ben ended their relationship, saying he needed to “take a step back”.

Fans were left disgruntled by the way the Islander spoke to Yasmin during the row and made 884 complaints over the incident.

According to Ofcom, viewers accuse the show of failing to intervene appropriately.

The broadcasting regulator is currently assessing the complaints before deciding whether to launch a formal investigation.

ITV was contacted for a comment at the time.

Fans previously called for Ben to be kicked off the show after his "misogynistic" behaviour was pointed out by the girls
