Some fans called the scenes 'difficult to watch' and 'downright mean' on social media, with 56 lodging official complaints to the telly watchdog.
The drama began brewing on Friday night when Toni criticised Emily's upbeat attitude in a conversation with Megan, saying: 'I can't listen to her. 'Little Miss Sunshine' all the time.'
She later doubled down, saying bluntly: 'Emily's just f**king nosey.'
Things reached a boiling point when Shakira confronted Emily on Sunday, telling her: 'I feel like in situations, it's a case of reading the room a little bit…I feel like you've not made an effort with us.'

Emily pushed back, saying she felt unfairly targeted.
She said 'Just 'cause she's in a bad mood doesn't mean I can't be in a good mood…you should have come to me.'
When Emily later discussed the exchange with other islanders, Shakira followed her and pulled her aside again - this time accusing Emily of being 'bitchy' and gossiping behind their backs.
Emily stood her ground and denied the accusations, but the fallout didn't go unnoticed.

Social media lit up with furious reactions: 'What's with the bullying in this villa????'
'So uncomfy to watch. All the girls just bullying one another—it's disgusting.'

Her behaviour was called out by Love Island winner Jess Harding.
She wrote about Ton's "b****y behaviour" and said on Instagram: "Ok what the hell, just because someone isn't your cup of tea doesn't mean you can cause a big drama over it?!" Jess began her caption.
"Toni girl I loved you but I don't like b****y behaviour & pulling crying behaviour."
Jess continued: "Why can't the girls be 1 big group cos these men be acting CRAZY."

Maya Jama turns heads in a white string bikini as she shares a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her time in Mallorca for Love Island filming
Maya Jama turned heads as she shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her time in Mallorca while filming for Love Island. The ITV star, 30, splits her time between the London and the Spanish island while hosting the series. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Maya wowed in a tiny white string bikini as she posed for a sizzling selfie. She then shared a snap of a dreamy table on a balcony that overlook the stunning views of the Spanish landscape. This was followed by another photo of some delicious sushi and wine with the ITV crew. This year, the TV show host is drawing on a wardrobe of vintage pieces pulled from clothes designer archives. So far, Maya has worn a vintage Versace swimsuit and a 1998 Dolce & Gabbana dress. It comes after Maya's rumoured romance with Ruben Dias was finally confirmed, following the pair's public display of affection at KSI's Baller League event in April. The presenter and the footballer, 28, are thought to have been secretly dating for several months after Maya first caught his eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November. She has since been seen at multiple football games over the last few months, watching Dias live in action for Man City. In April, the pair were pictured for the first time together kissing and cuddling at the football event, held at the Copper Box Arena, in a video captured by The Sun. The footage showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck, with Ruben flying under the radar in casual clothes and a cap. A source told the publication of that night: 'Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other. 'They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.' So far, Maya has worn a vintage Versace swimsuit and a 1998 Dolce & Gabbana dress (pictured in Dolce & Gabbana) It comes after Maya's rumoured romance with Ruben Dias was finally confirmed, following the pair's public display of affection at KSI's Baller League event in April (Ruben pictured in April) It is the first time they have been seen in public since they were thought to have started dating - though Maya has often hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she has been sent. MailOnline has contacted Maya's representatives for comment. Their appearance at the Baller League came just one day after she supported Ruben at Wembley as his team Manchester City triumphed 2-0 against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup. The Love Island host took her whole family to Wembley to support him. She shared a video on the way to the stadium as she penned 'family day out to Wembley' in the caption - while her mother Sadie and brother Omar sat in the car with her. Maya then shared a snap of the pitch as she watched on - while her family enjoyed the atmosphere.
