Love Island draws 1,500 complaints to Ofcom over alleged misogyny

Media regulator deciding whether to investigate ITV reality show over behaviour of male contestants towards women

Love Island viewers have made 1,509 complaints to the media regulator Ofcom over allegedly misogynistic behaviour by male contestants towards their female counterparts.

Viewers were upset by a Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, in which the show's participants revealed who they would kiss, marry or hit in the face with a cream pie. The dancer and model Tasha Ghouri was left in tears over comments that Dami Hope and Luca Bish made before delivering a pie to her face.
