Ofcom reject 14,000 Love Island complaints over bullying and gaslighting after ‘most complained about series in 4 years'
LOVE Island will not be investigated by Ofcom - despite receiving more than 14,000 complaints about misogyny, bullying and mentally abusive behaviour. The last series of the show, which was won by Toni and Cach, was inundated with complaints throughout - making it the most offensive in four years. 4 Ofcom will not be taking action about any of the Love Island complaints Credit: Eroteme 4 Meg was accused of bullying during her time on the show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In just one week of the show Ofcom received 9,000 complaints about alleged bullying behaviour towards Shakira. It was 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. Despite viewer's concern, the regulator will not be taking any further action. A spokesperson said."We carefully assessed the complaints we received about this series of Love Island. "We recognise that emotionally charged or confrontational scenes can upset some viewers. "But, in our view, negative behaviour in the villa was not shown in a positive light, and contestants were seen supporting or apologising to each other. "We also took into account that the format of this reality show is well-established, and viewers would expect to see highs and lows as relationships and friendships are tested." Ofcom received 14,167 complaints about the ITV reality series, including 24 about spin-off show Love Island: Unseen Bits, with the highest number of complaints coming on July 24, which saw 3,549 complaints relating to alleged bullying behaviour towards contestant Shakira Khan. Other complaints related to further alleged bullying of Khan, as well as fellow contestants Toni Laites, Yasmin Pettet, Meg Moore and Helena Ford, concern over contestants' mental health throughout the series, and Dejon Noel-Williams's behaviour towards Meg. Further complaints were made about the show's producers bringing contestant Megan Forte Clarke back onto the programme after she was dumped from the villa, and alleged race and gender based discrimination. Love Island's 12th series ran from June 9 to August 4 and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer took home the £50k, while Khan and Harry Cooksley finished as runners-up.

I puked in a cup at Windsor Castle just metres away from King Charles – then had no clue how to get rid of it
MEETING the King is always quite nerve-racking. But nerves weren't the reason Hannah East was sick at Windsor Castle when she went to meet King Charles. 7 Hannah East shared the mortifying moment she puked just metres away from King Charles Credit: No Parental Guidance podcast 7 Fellow host Louise Boyce also shared her epic parenting fail during the episode Credit: No Parental Guidance podcast 7 Mum-of-three Hannah, shared her awkward moment with King Charles Credit: Getty On the latest episode of Fabulous' No Parental Guidance podcast, mum-of-three Hannah shared the mortifying moment she threw up just metres away from the monarch. The hilarious episode also saw fellow host, Louise Boyce, share how her daughter, six, called her a horrendous four-letter word in a supermarket. Watch our No Parental Guidance podcast on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. ''This one is from two years ago," Hannah said. "My dad got an MBE. "He was going to meet the Queen who had just passed away, so he was going to see the King - and I found out the day before that I was pregnant with my third. ''I wondered 'would I be projectile vomiting all the time?'" said the comedian, who was seven weeks pregnant at the time. ''We're in this queue for ages. Emma Radacanu was stood in front of us looking like this absolute goddess. ''I was like, 'Dad, that's Emma Radacanu' and he was like, 'Who?' because he has no idea, he doesn't like tennis.'' Although the family were ''excited'' for the latest addition to the brood, the early stages of the pregnancy caused Hannah to feel queasy - and she desperately needed some water to ease the sickness. ''I said this to like a butler, 'Excuse me, I'm really sorry, is it possible to have a glass of water?' Because you're not allowed to take anything in, there was no refreshments or anything there.'' After explaining she was expecting, the butler passed her a glass of water which she downed - and that's when what her worst fear came true. Konnie Huq reveals mortifying moment she had a wardrobe malfunction at the Baftas after wearing a sheer dress She recalled: "I was like 'oh my God, I think I'm going to be sick'. And Dad was like 'well there's no bloody toilets here'. ''Dad was getting called up and we're in this fourth room out of ten rooms. So I literally held the cup to my my mouth and [puking sounds]. ''Emma Radacanu was just stood there, my dad's waiting for this MBE and I like vomited into the cup.'' 7 Hannah also saw Emma Radacanu, pictured here with King Charles, when her dad was invited to Windsor Castle Credit: PA 7 Hannah pictured with her dad at Windsor Castle in 2022 Credit: Facebook/Hannah East She went on: ''It's like a sick phlegm. So you know when your kids are sent home from school and you're like, 'Was it sweetcorn and carrots - or was it sick phlegm?''' Hannah was then left clutching the cup awkwardly, before finally handing it back to a member of staff, sick and all. She said: "I was carrying it for ages and then we were waiting by the doors and they opened the doors and I could see the King. "This lady said 'you can't take that in there'. So I said 'you might want to put that down the tap, I've just been a bit sick'." Horrendous four-letter word in a supermarket 7 After visiting her pals, Louise's daughter, six, picked up a very rude word Credit: No Parental Guidance podcast Fellow host and mum-of-three Louise Boyce, 45, has also had her fair share of epic parenting fails - including a rude four-letter word her daughter had picked up from her friend's cat. One of her pals, Laura, has a cat - which the friend always claims is ''hard work''. ''And I just want to punch her in the face because I'm like, 'It's a cat'," she told her co-host. On one occasion, Louise visited Laura and her partner Stew with her kids - but little did she know the children would walk away with a new word in their vocabulary. ''When we got to their house, there was a card from Stew to Laura for their new house. ''And it simply says, 'The cat is a c**t'.'' Aware that her children can already read, the former model was mortified. ''My kids walk in and the first thing they see is this card - and they can't stop staring at it; it's almost like they know that it's wrong. ''They are looking at it as if Santa's holding it in Disneyland.'' Although Louise begged for the card to be turned around, it was already too late - as her daughter, five at the time, asked her what a c**t was. ''I just had to say it's a really, really naughty word that no one ever says.'' Unfortunately for Louise, her daughter likes to ''test'' her - and she decided to do it at the worst possible time and place. ''So then we're out and about and I can feel it, I know my daughter. And also the word sounds very much like 'can't'. ''So then my daughter's like, 'Mummy, you can't. You can't, you can't'. ''And we're in public. I'm like, 'I can't what?' ''And she's like, 'Mummy, you're a c**t'. ''I could see people looking at me, I'm like, 'She's saying 'can't''. ''Oh God, this is horrendous, I haven't even told my husband this. ''I don't know what to do.''
