Entertainment experts at OLBG have now analysed Ofcom data, revealing Love Island: All Stars has proven to be the show that's caused the most uproar.
On top of earning the number one most complained about moment of 2025 so far, with one episode, which aired on February 12th, amassing 1,347 complaints.
The episode showed Ekin-Su getting into a blazing row with Elma Pazar and Sammy Root as tensions flared after the heart rate challenge.
The previous episode, which led up to the row, also earned over 800 complaints, with viewers also taking issue with 'bullying' between the islanders.
However, the show may be about to be dethroned, with Mickey Rourke's homophobic comments against JoJo Siwa in Celebrity Big Brother quickly rising the ranks.
The moment, which aired on April 9th and resulted in Mickey getting a formal warning from Big Brother for his inappropriate remarks, has clocked 1,010 complaints to date.
GB News has also come under fire, earning three of the top 10 most complained about moments of the year.
The Brit Awards also sparked controversy, earning 825 complaints thanks to Sabrina Carpenter's raunchy performance of Bed Chem, which was deemed 'too sexual' for the pre-watershed timeslot.
The American starlet opened the event with her song, Espresso, before changing into a red negligée and singing track Bed Chem on a bed.
Sabrina later apologised and joked: 'Now I know what a watershed is!!'
How Sabrina Carpenter courts controversy by walking the line between 'porn star' and pop star with her highly sexualised lyrics and performances - and why it's key to her success
Completing the Top 10 is Britain's Got Talent's Auzzy Blood, who left viewers 'feeling sick' after a series of grotesque tricks including feeding a giant corkscrew through his nose and mouth.
Good Morning Britain also got two spots in the Top 10, once for Adil Ray accused of 'fat-shaming' darts player Luke 'The Nuke' Littler during an interview on January 2nd.
Less then three weeks later, on Holocaust Memorial Day (January 22nd), Ranvir Singh failed to mention Jewish people amongst the groups of people killed in concentration camps during World War II.
This sparked another wave of complaints, with 243 people writing to Ofcom about it.

JoJo Siwa ‘dropped from record label' as Chris Hughes romance ramps up
JoJo Siwa has reportedly been dropped by record label Columbia Records a year after releasing her single Karma and an EP called Guilty Pleasure with the music giant JoJo Siwa has been dropped by her label Columbia Records, reports suggest. The singer, who is currently dating her Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes, is now said to be on the hunt for another label. The news comes as it was revealed she has released her latest tune, Bulletproof, independently. She had initially been signed to the powerhouse in the industry, who also boasts the likes of Miley Cyrus and Halle on their roster. However, the official site no longer lists JoJo on their artists page. It comes after she released her single Karma and an EP called Guilty Pleasure with the music giant last year. A source told the Mail: "JoJo has been dropped by Columbia Records… she self-released her latest song Bulletproof whereas Karma was done with the label. She has been in London on the lookout for a new record company to sign with and playing gigs hoping to impress the right people." Despite her apparent dropping, JoJo continues to tour. Her US shows are set to continue later this month, with new man Chris Hughes expected to be in the crowd to support her. JoJo, 22, recently opened up on the sweet bond the duo have formed after spending more time together since leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house. JoJo was speaking to Capital Breakfast presenter Jordan North earlier this week about her love for Chris, 32. She told the host: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." Jordan then asked her if Chris was her "happy place," to which she certainly agreed. She went on: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best."

I'm young and healthy but I've made a 24-minute montage to be played at my own funeral
A young and healthy woman has prepared her own funeral montage in advance to guarantee 'only the hottest photos get chosen', her best friend recently revealed on TikTok. Jasmine, from the US, documented the moment Alexis Pinedo, who works in an American funeral parlour, played the 24-minute 'morbid' video clip during what was supposed to be a routine sleepover. Beneath the clip, which has since gone viral on social media, Jasmine wrote: 'Having a morbid best friend who works in funeral and cemetery services is not for the weak. 'Anyone else's best friend make their own funeral montage to make sure only the hottest photos get chosen,' she added, panning the camera to a shot of Alexis. Alexis admitted she created the photo montage in advance to guarantee her loved ones would only see her looking her best in death, while adding the nearly half-an-hour long video covered her 'whole life. The slideshow was set to emotional music with a vision for how Alexis wanted to be remembered post-mortem. She admitted she had thought through all the details, including who will inherit her favorite Darth Maul t-shirt, and what colour the flowers at her funeral will be. Even though Jasmine appeared to believe Alexis' preparations were a bit extreme, the latter - who is Mexican-American - believes making these arrangements is normal. Both her job and her Mexican heritage have helped Alexis embrace death as a natural part of life. Plus, Alexis told People, 'I've always just been a little morbid and creepy myself'. She also admitted she was motivated to create the montage following a motorcycle accident that Jasmine's cousin was involved in. Though he survived, it left the funeral worker wondering what would happen if she died unexpectedly and without any preparation. 'I'm really particular, and I don't trust anybody to do things the way that I want to do it,' she said. 'If this happens to me, you make sure I'm right. Don't have me looking all crazy with two different-shaped eyebrows. I got to have my nails done. I want a specific colour of flowers.' While she admitted that only selecting the 'hottest' photos was in jest, she emphasised the practicality of 'unburdening' her family by having something in the pipeline - should she meet a sudden and fatal end. Time spent working intimately with people who have lost loved ones to unforeseen circumstances has made Alexis of the toll they take on their loved ones. People in the comments found the video, which has now nearly 2 million views, othrt heartwarming and hilarious Recalling the evening she saw the montage for the first time, best friend Jasmine said she was as much in fits of giggles and she was floods of tears. 'We were both crying watching it,' she said, joking that their families were left baffled by the two watching an early funeral screening for Alexis. Alexis's no-nonsense approach to death has made Jasmine less fearful of death too, as she explained it has taught her a combination of 'comedy, laughing, and accepting it' to cope with it. Reflecting on the strength of their relationship, she said people should 'hold on to' friendships like theirs - adding 'nothing is ever that serious'. 'Even death isn't that serious.' Having planned the day of her funeral meticulously, Alexis said it would be the 'last time' she'd see the video since she wouldn't be there to watch it on the day. People in the comments found the video, which has now received nearly 2 million views, both heartwarming and hilarious. One commenter wrote: 'Not her having ya'll sit through a funeral montage while she's still alive.' Inspired by the choice to prepare in advance for the funeral, a second chimed: 'I gotta do one of these, because I just KNOW my family wouldn't do me justice lol.' A third commented: 'My grandma did the same thing. She proofed her own obituary and had to personally approve each pic in her montage. She also went out in a glittery pink casket. Queen behaviour.' 'A girl can't have a dress rehearsal for her other big day?,' one viewer joked.
