ITV slammed with hundreds of Ofcom complaints from furious fans accusing Love Island star of bullying | The Sun
LOVE Island fans have bombarded Ofcom with complaints accusing contestants of bullying.
Some 155 viewers contacted the regulator after finding scenes last week involving Jessica Harding and Molly Marsh difficult to watch.
There were calls for ITV bosses to intervene after the girls ganged up on Molly, who had three boys interested in her at the time: Mitchel Taylor, Zachariah Noble and Sammy Root.
Jess and Ella didn't take kindly to the fact Molly reacted angrily when new girl Charlotte couple up with Zachariah.
In a bid to make things as awkward as possible, Molly interrupted Zach and Charlotte's one-on-one gym session in order to keep her eyes firmly on 'her prize'.
It irked some of the Islanders who passed judgement on Molly's actions, which viewers deemed to be bullying.

Jess, 22, pointed out Molly's brazen behaviour, saying: "Look, look, look!
"Molly is doing the most."
Ella replied: "She's not leaving Zach's side today. She is obviously pretending that she just wanted to work out."
Jess then added: "She knows we're talking about her. I don't give a f***. Give a f***."
