    Love Island has been hit with more Ofcom complaints from fuming fans claiming Scott has been bullied by his co-stars in the villa.

    The ITV dating show has already received over 1,000 Ofcom complaints from fans upset following the explosive rows during Movie Night.

    Ofcom received 466 complaints about Molly being allowed back in the villa after being dumped, as well as 957 complaints about July 9's Movie Night episode.

    An Ofcom spokesperson previously said: "Ofcom spokesman said: "Love Island, 9 July 2023, 957 complaints: The majority of complaints related to alleged bullying towards Scott from the other islanders."

    And on Wednesday (July 19), Ofcom confirmed that a further 80 complaints had been issued, with the majority relating to the alleged bullying of Scott.

    During Movie Night, Scott and Catherine got into a fiery row after it was shown that he told the boys he probably wouldn't miss Catherine once the Casa Amor girls arrived.

    He'd told Catherine he'd stayed loyal throughout his time at Casa Amor, which sparked fury from her as she stated he hadn't been loyal.

    The girls then suggested that Scott was only single at the recoupling because "no one wanted him", with Scott immediately hitting back at Leah after her comments.

    A text message read: "Islanders, it’s time to recouple. The boys will now pick which girls they want to recouple with."

    Last Tuesday's episode saw the Islanders told to gather around the fire pit and choose who they'd like to couple up with.

    What ensued was a brutal mass dumping, with Catherine and Elom axed on Wednesday without even making it to the fire pit, followed by Leah and Montel on Thursday.

    Tuesday's episode saw yet more Islanders dumped, this time at the beach club, after the public voted for their favourite couple.

    Host Maya Jama revealed that Whitney and Lochan received the most votes from the public and were therefore the most popular pair.

    The three Islanders with the lowest votes – Ella B and Mitchel, Kady and Ouzy and Amber and Josh – were at risk of getting the chop.

    Amber and Josh were the first couple to get the boot – with Whitney and Lochan left to decide which other couple to kick off the Island.

    In another shock twist, the remaining Islanders were all forced to beg for their place on the show.

    After having a moment to talk about their decision, Whitney and Lochan chose to send home Kady and Ouzy.
