Love Island has been slapped with 155 Ofcom complaints from fans over alleged bullying behaviour involving Jess and Molly.
The hit ITV2 dating show hosted by Maja Jama has returned with its tenth series and a fresh batch of Islanders, but the latest series hasn’t escaped the wrath of complaints.
Media watchdog Ofcom confirmed on Wednesday that 155 complaints had been issued following last Wednesday’s episode (June 14).

It might not come as a surprise as fans had fumed at Jess Harding and Ella Thomas for allegedly bullying Molly Marsh in the villa – with some threatening to complain to Ofcom.
Tensions brewed when Zachariah Noble showed up in the villa and struck up a romance with performer Molly, 21.
Last Wednesday’s episode saw Molly get a bit annoyed wen bombshell Charlotte Sumner joined Zach for a training session.

Not wanting the two to have alone time, Molly decided to join the pair and work out alongside them.
But Molly’s bold actions quickly became topic of conversation as Jess, 22, pointed out: “Look, look, look! Molly is doing the most.
Ella, 23, replied: “She’s not leaving Zach’s side today. She is obviously pretending that she just wanted to work out.”
Jess added: “She knows we’re talking about her. I don’t give a f***. Give a f***.”

When Molly asked Jess why she wasn’t joining their session, the blonde bombshell replied: “I don’t want to intrude in the triangle babe.”
It left Molly fuming as she told Zach: “I can literally hear every conversation. Just shut up.”
Fans weren’t happy about how the girls were treating Molly as one complained: “I cant with how all the girls are treating Molly it’s actually borderline bullying I feel so bad for her”.
A second added: “I won’t lie it’s giving bullying a bit. Molly has done madness but she hasn’t done enough for people to be grouping and giggling. Not even groups of 2 but huge groups…”
Another fan wrote: “One fan wrote: “Jess and Ella might wanna be careful before they get bullying complaints sent to ofcom.”
While a fourth fumed: “I really don’t think Ella or Jess are genuine at all, they’re giving a high school bully.”
