Love Island's biggest Ofcom complaints
Love Island has been hit with thousands of complaints over the years - here are the most moaned about moments
Dani's tears: In 2018, Ofcom received 2,644 complaints when Dani Dyer was left in floods of tears over Jack Fincham during the Casa Amor.
Viewers felt the show had been manipulated to make it appear Jack was going to cheat, when in fact he wasn't. And poor Dani didn't learn the truth for days.
Maura fury: Although she later won over the public, Maura Higgins got off to a bad start in 2019. After arriving as a bombshell, she made a beeline for Tommy Fury - who was coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague - and tried to kiss him while straddling him on a daybed. 709 people accused her actions of being 'sexual harassment'.
Faye explodes: The 2021 series of Love Island remains the most complained series about yet. 4,330 complaints were made to Ofcom after Faye Winter received a postcard from Casa Amor, which appeared to show her fella Teddy Soares kissing a bombshell.
But a whopping 24,763 complaints flooded in when Faye came face-to-face with Teddy again. Faye's shocking outburst even sparked a reaction from male domestic abuse charity, ManKind Initiative, who branded her 'unacceptable'.
Bish bash: The following year, the fallout from Movie Night sparked 3,617 Ofcom complaints. Fans of the show were horrified by Luca Bish's harsh reaction when Gemma Owen was shown speaking to bombshell Billy Brown.
Muggy Mitch: Almost 1,000 Ofcom complaints flooded in from viewers unimpressed with Mitchel Taylor's treatment of Abi Moores.
They felt he was 'targeting' her and even urged Love Island bosses to check on Abi's 'mental health and welfare'.
There were also 29 complaints related to concerns for Harry after seeing him upset following his breakup with Helena and disclosing his feelings for Shakira.
But the majority came from viewers who were left furious at the way Shakira had been treated by some of her fellow Islanders.
This comes after the 2025 series of Love Island came to an epic conclusion on Monday night.
Toni and Cach were crowned as the reigning champions and took home a £50K cheque.
Shakira and Harry were the runners up, and Yasmin and Jamie came third.
Placing fourth was Angel and Ty.

Kerry Katona says she's 'just desperate to be loved' as Celebs Go Dating returns
As Celebs Go Dating returns for a new series, Kerry Katona is desperate for love, while Christine McGuinness is looking to date a woman and S Club pop star Jon Lee tackles his 'car crash' love life... With plenty of cheek, Celebs Go Dating is back tonight on E4 at 9pm, as more famous people volunteer to be filmed as they look for love. Guided by expert agents Paul C Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, there is plenty of drama and lust as the celebs go dating. This season kicks off with a mixer in London, hosted by Tom Read Wilson. On the hunt for love in this latest series are Atomic Kitten blonde bombshell Kerry Katona (not her first time on the show), S Club pop star Jon Lee, Too Hot to Handle lothario Louis Russell, TV personality Christine McGuinness and Love Island sensation Olivia Hawkins. Kerry says: 'I'm best known for being a singer, a mother, a reality star and a car crash. People think I'm this crazy, partying wild person, when in fact I'm a bit of a loner. In fact, I'm just really boring." She adds: "The whole dating thing is just not something I do." Kerry explains: "I just meet somebody and get married. I was very young when I met my first husband, I was 18. We got divorced when I was 25. I got married straight away after that, got divorced, then got married again. "Then I met my last fiance, but I never actually got up the aisle that time." Kerry sighs: "I keep getting rejected, that's what it is, I'm never good enough. They always want something else. I just want to be loved. I'm so desperate to be loved.' She doesn't fare too well though, with Anna Williamson noting that Kerry comes across as 'insincere' when she's talking to potential dates. Meanwhile model, author and mum-of-three Christine says: "I've been separated from my ex husband for around three years. I met Paddy McGuinness when I was 19. "I describe my sexuality as being a free spirit. When I was a teenager I dated men and women before I was married and now I'm really, really just enjoying spending time with women.' While Jon reveals: 'My dating has been a complete car crash, I've been single and celibate for six years. I want a man who's rough around the edges.' Getting their flirt on and testing their dating skills, the celebs work the room and try to look for instant chemistry and sparks. As the agents watch on, they find out just how hard they're going to have to work to get their famous clients on the path to romance. Paul Brunson says: 'We can see how they operate and gather information.' Then a secret is revealed - the celebs must choose someone for a first date and it will be in Ibiza. 'How can I go abroad with someone I don't know? This is not normal,' says Christine, finally realising that she is on a reality show. A flash forward shows people swinging their tops around their heads, jumping on lilos, clinking glasses… It's going to be messy.
