Love Island sparks record number of Ofcom complaints in just days

Viewers of the show were not impressed with this week's drama.

Viewers of the hit reality show have not been impressed with recent drama in the show.

The aftermath of Casa Amor, as well as the fallout from Movie Night seems to be what sparked nearly 3,000 complaints between Tuesday, July 7 to Monday, July 13.

This figure was over five times larger than the previous week's total of 533, which had been the highest since the series began last month.

The episode which aired July 8 received a huge 2,331 of those complaints.

This comes as contestants Lola Deal and Julia Majchrzak had an ongoing feud after the latter questioned the former's relationship with ex-Galway footballer, Séan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald.

The tension peaked in last Wednesday's episode when Majchrzak attempted to make a truce with her fellow islanders, gathering the girls around the firepit for an apology, however Deal refused to take part in the conversation.

One X user called the moment one of the show's most 'shameful'.

Following this, Lola and Séan ended up in the bottom three couples, and in a shock move volunteered to leave the villa as they had 'found what they came for'.

A spokesperson confirmed that the lower level of complaints made earlier in the week came as a result of Jasmine Müller's behaviour towards other participants, as well as behaviour involving Lola Deal, Kavan Murphy and Charleen Murphy.

The 13th series of the ITV hit show will come to a close on July 27 with Lorenzo Alessi and Julia Majchrzak bookies' favourites to win the £50,000 cash prize.
