Love Island hit by 286 Ofcom complaints over Luca Bish's behaviour towards Gemma Owen

Love Island 2022 received a total of 466 Ofcom complaints in its final week of airing.

The Mirror reported that The Office of Communications confirmed that 286 complaints they received on July 26 were in relation to Luca Bish's behaviour towards Gemma Owen. Meanwhile, a further 180 complaints were received on August 1, during the final, as viewers were "upset" with which couples had made it to the final and also fans complaining that the show was "rigged".

Luca and Gemma were runners up in the 2022 final as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti were crowned the winners. The other two couples who made it to the final were Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page and Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack. Tasha and Andrew came in fourth place, while Dami and Indiyah took third place in the reality series.

Meanwhile, on July 26 fans were not impressed with how fishmonger Luca behaved during a discussion with 19-year-old Gemma. During a row about the latest challenge, which saw Gemma lick Adam Collard's chest, Luca removed his microphone and stormed out of the villa.

Before the drama, Gemma caught up with the girls and Ekin-Su said to her: "Was it me or was I seeing that Luca was being a bit weird? Like when he was... when you were dong your challenge." Indiyah agreed, and told Gemma: "He was just a little bit of a baby."

Gemma didn't seem happy about it, and responded to the girls: "It's really not that deep but if he's gonna be a pr**k over it, then he can do one." She then spoke to Luca and said: "You can sit here and say you're not in a mood... you're in a mood."

Luca quipped back: "No, I'm not in a mood," to which Gemma replied: "Luca don't play thick." As he repeated: "Gem, I'm not in a mood," she replied: "You were pushing me off, had a face like a slapped a**... are you 12?!"
