Love Island sparks over one hundred Ofcom complaints over Jess and Molly 'bullying'

Love Island has already sparked over one hundred of Ofcom complaints just two weeks into the latest series.

The ITV2 show received backlash from some viewers who say there is bullying between Jess and Molly.

Ofcom recorded 155 complaints last week, with the majority concerned about the alleged behaviour.

Unimpressed viewers watched as the 'bullying behaviour' unfolded before their eyes last week as some threatened to make complaints.

Ofcom has recorded the complaints but are not currently investigating the show.

Despite no Islanders saying they are being bullied, fans of the show called out producers for 'allowing Molly Marsh to be bullied' by other contestants.

It came amid an ongoing love triangle between Molly, Mitch and Zachariah.

Some viewers called out Molly for being a 'game player', however, others said the way in which some of the other girls have treated her was wrong.

Whitney called Molly the 'biggest game player' after a challenge, as Tyrique dubbed the blonde beauty a 'people pleaser' to Zach over the love triangle with Mitchel.

Molly was also called the 'two faced one', with Jess making a comment about Molly when she left the room after she decided to sleep outside to get away from Mitchel.

Several Love Island viewers took to Twitter to threaten to complain to Ofcom over Molly seemingly being singled out and 'bullied' in the villa.

"Jess is not a nice person. She’ll be gone soon. All mouth, glad to see her storm off tonight couldn’t happen to a nicer person!!! She’s that mean girl from school with fake friends. Bully - Love Island producers seriously have a word," one fan fumed.

"Jess is a bully. What’s with this hate for Molly? Feel like calling Ofcom over this," another echoed.

"Regardless how you feel about Molly, you can't deny the fact that Jess is an insecure nasty bully. There I said it," someone else raged.

While a fourth added: "Ofcom will be getting LOTS of calls after this episode tonight. Blatant bullying."

Love Island continues at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
