Ofcom has received over 1000 complaints about ITV reality show Love Island, with many viewers outraged over Yasmin and Ben's row last week. Last week saw 23-year-old taxi driver Ben clash with Yasmin, 24, in a heated row, with viewers calling his behaviour "disgusting" and "immature".
According to Ofcom, the dating show received 884 complaints on Thursday about a fiery argument between Yasmin and Ben, while the next day, another 131 viewers went to the regulator over Helena and Harrison's kiss in the Hideaway. Ofcom revealed in a statement that the complaints were related to a "combination of alleged bullying and misogynistic behaviour by a number of contestants, including Ben, Meg and Helen".
After Ben told Shakira that he never had real feelings for Yasmin and she found out, Yasmin confronted him over his comments, telling him that it "wasn't the Ben show" and that the "world doesn't revolve around him".

The argument then took a turn, with Ben shouting at Yasmin: "This is amazing content...You've just given Love Island three weeks of content." He added that "no man wants you in here" and said: "Yasmin is the most irrelevant girl I've ever met."
