Love Island’s most complained about moments as explosive Movie Night returns | The Sun

LOVE Island's infamous Movie Night always brings the drama – and plenty of viewer complaints with it.

Last season, Faye Winter's treatment of boyfriend Teddy Soares got the most Ofcom complaints in the series history with a record 25,000 complaints – but it's not the only moment that has got fans picking up their phones in fury.

From Maura Higgins clambering all over Tommy Fury like he was a beefy climbing frame to poor Dani Dyer sobbing, there has been plenty of outrage-generating drama.

And the 2022 series has received more than 700 complaints so far.

Here we take a look back at the villa's most complained-about moments of all time…

Curtis Pritchard's Casa Amor fallout

Bungling Curtis Pritchard unleashed all manner of hell on Amy Hart in 2019 when their cute relationship turned into a car crash.

The air stewardess was planning to tell Curtis she had fallen in love with him after being reunited for the first time since Casa Amor.

But he confessed he had tried to pursue the lovely Jourdan instead – who turned him down. Oh mate.

Amy was devastated and so were many viewers – with 314 lodging complaints with the TV watchdog.


Finn's 'fake news' headline

In one of the more brutal rounds on Love Island couples get shown headlines from articles about them.

However, like a semi-pro football version of Donald Trump, Finn Tapp was left crying "fake news" after one was shown suggesting his head was turned in Casa Amor.

In fact, he was good as gold but Paige Turley believed the article (which, we should add, wasn't from The Sun).

Needless to say mayhem and accusations ensued and 544 people complained.

Gemma and Davide's age-gap snog

Gemma Owen and Davide Sanclimenti caused a furore early into this series when they shared a kiss – with viewers outraged over their eight age-gap.

The smooch between the 19 year-old and the Italian, 27, generated 200 Ofcom complaints.

On the second day in the villa, the pair shared a kiss during one of the challenges, leaving viewers unhappy.

But Ofcom confirmed they were not investigating the incident.


Georgia Steele and Jack Fowler’s kiss

With 655 complaints was the moment Georgia Steel and Jack Fowler kissed after their date.

Laura hunted her down and accused her turning an innocent kiss on the cheek into something much more steamy.

The clip was replayed again and again, VAR style, to find out who was at fault after Georgia denied trying to make a move.

Laura fumed: "My best mate has gone behind my back and tried to snog the guy I'm coupled up with."


Maura pounces on Tommy

No-nonsense Maura might be best pals with Tommy's girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague but in 2019 she was all over him like a duvet on a cold night.

The 30-year-old Irish model's intense pursuit of the boxer outraged fans as she was seen straddling and trying to kiss him.

He was heard saying no and trying to swerve the kiss, with one viewer tweeting: "Maura is like a bloody predator. Forcing herself on Tommy like that is wrong."

In the end, 709 people complained – but Tommy wasn't one of them and they went on to be very close pals.

Joe and Lucy 'controlling' row

Joe Garratt was forced to defend himself after he told Lucie he was uncomfortable about her “strange” and “disrespectful” friendship with Tommy Fury (him again!)

He was accused of treating her badly but later told The Sun: “I didn’t manipulate or abuse her.

“I am gutted that it has been perceived in that way because it wasn’t like that at all."

The moment racked up more than 600 Ofcom complaints with people objecting to the surfer's treatment by Joe and other Islanders.



Dani Dyer's tears over 'cheating' Jack

Love Island bosses found themselves on the receiving end of some serious rage from the Dani Dyer fan club in 2018.

Producers thought it would be a great wheeze to show her a clip of boyfriend Jack Fincham looking like his head has been turned by an ex.

Of course, nothing of the sort was going on and as Dani broke down in floods of tears.

Meanwhile, 2,644 complained to Ofcom that this kind of behaviour was very much not their type on paper – making it Love Island most-complained about moment.

Faye Winter lets rip at Teddy

Back in August 2021 Love Island was hit with a record 24,763 Ofcom complaints from fans infuriated by Faye's "toxic" meltdown.

Faye went mad during last year's movie night when a clip was shown of partner Teddy admitted he found another islander attractive.

The incident, which saw Faye swear and scream in partner Teddy Soare's face, is the most complained about moment in the show's history.

Viewers branded the uncomfortable clash "toxic" and "difficult to watch".
