Love Island Sparks Ofcom Backlash After Steamy Scenes Between Meg and Dejon
Love Island Ofcom complaints over steamy scenes

ITV2's hit reality show Love Island has once again found itself in hot water after a steamy encounter between contestants Meg and Dejon triggered a wave of Ofcom complaints.

Viewers were left divided after the pair's intimate bedroom moment aired during a recent episode, with some branding it "too explicit" for the show's pre-watershed slot.

Ofcom Flooded With Complaints

The UK media regulator confirmed it had received multiple complaints about the scene, which showed the couple getting cosy under the covers. While the footage stopped short of full nudity, the passionate encounter proved too much for some audience members.

Mixed Reactions From Fans

On social media, reactions were split between those who found the moment "awkward to watch" and others who defended it as part of the show's natural romantic progression. "If you don't like it, don't watch!" tweeted one fan, while another complained: "This is exactly why I don't let my kids watch anymore."

ITV has yet to comment on the complaints, but this isn't the first time Love Island has faced criticism over its content. Previous seasons have also drawn Ofcom's attention for similar reasons, sparking ongoing debates about what's appropriate for reality TV.
