Nearly 25,000 complaints were issued after an explosive episode of Love Island last week.

Ofcom says the vast majority of complaints related to the behaviour of a contestant, following the challenge, and it is carefully assessing the complaints received, before deciding whether or not to investigate.

The previous record for the number of complaints about the dating show was 4,500, which came about after the postcard was sent from Casa Amor, showing the girls what the boys were getting up to with the new arrivals.
