Of the contestants.

And the production showed false videos of the guys being unfaithful to the girls.

Showing false proofs of infidelity caused  "unnecessary distress".

It is important to highlight that this edition of Love Island

To the islanders.

Recently, the show received 25,000 complaints

Over the "Mad movies challenge"

For showing Winter's outburst at Soares.

An Ofcom spokesperson has stated this after the complaints:

"We've received a high volume of complaints about last week's Love Island, which is consistent with a trend of growing complaints about high-profile TV shows. We are carefully assessing the complaints we've received before deciding whether or not to investigate."

Also, an ITV spokesperson made a statement in behalf of the producers:

"We take the emotional wellbeing of all the islanders extremely seriously, we have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times. All the islanders are therefore fully supported by the professionals on site and by their friends in the villa. Islanders can always reach out and talk to someone if they feel the need."

Mental health among reality stars is under scrutiny at the moment.

Thanks to the alarming number of ex-reality contestants losing their lives to suicide.
