Love Island hit with Ofcom complaints as show sparks new bullying row
TELEVISION watchdog Ofcom revealed that Love Island has been hit with complaints.
The show has sparked a new bulling row after the regulator confirmed dozens of viewers were outraged by ITV2 series.
Ofcom today revealed Love Island has been hit with 54 complaints for an episode broadcast on the 9th February 2023.
The TV watchdog revealed that around half the complaints related to Shaq Muhammad’s behaviour towards Ron Hall.
Previous tense scenes also saw Shaq, 24 having a go at Ron, 25, for not lifting his weight in the villa.
While all of the other boys cleaned up after whipping up three-course meals for the girls, Ron decided to chat to the girls instead.
Some of the complaints also focus around his treatment of Tanya Manhenga, 22.
Shaq had previously stormed over to Ron to telling to stop chatting with the girls and help clean up the kitchen with the other lads after Love Island’s date night.
He was branded rude by his cast-mates, and Tanya, who he’s coupled up with, was furious.
The pair seemed to have fallen out after Shaq, deeply upset at being told off by Tanya, said: “It felt like me being cornered. I don’t appreciate that from you.”
He added: “The way it was handled, I don’t like.
“I don’t expect you of all people to ever put me in that situation again, because I would 100% never do it to you.”
Ron and Shaq have previously clashed many times over the former’s treatment of Lana Jenkins.
When Ron told Lana he wanted to “get to know” bombshell Ellie Spence, 25, Shaq called him out.
Elsewhere the former airport security guard seemingly put professional footballer Tom Clare, 23, in his place.
The villa was plunged into chaos tonight when it was revealed Tom had secretly kissed bombshell Ellie while he was pursuing Olivia Hawkins, 27.
Love Island fans were stunned as Olivia confronted Tom about the kiss in a heated row.
When Tom went to talk to the lads about it afterwards, he got more than he bargained for when Shaq told him he had treated Olivia badly.
The remainder of the complaints centred around Tanyel Revan leaving the island.
She was sent packing back to the UK after being left single in Thursday’s brutal coupling.
Love Island‘s boys were given all the power this time – and Ron Hall, who many think she really wanted a relationship with, did not save the London hair stylist.
