Ofcom has confirmed they have received 650 complaints following Sunday night’s episode of ‘Love Island’.

Fans of the show slammed bosses after Dani Dyer was left in floods of tears when she was shown a video clip of boyfriend Jack Fincham reacting to his ex Ellie Jones arriving in the villa.

Jack and Dani are currently living separately thanks to the Casa Amor twist, and Sunday’s episode saw the girls given the chance to see what the boys have been up to.

Many viewers took to Twitter to point out that the video didn’t reveal that Jack has stayed completely loyal to Dani, whilst Josh Denzel has got together with Kazimir Crossley - and Georgia Steel has no idea.  

When HuffPost UK contacted Ofcom, the broadcasting regulator confirmed that 650 people had made a complaint about the episode.

They told us: “At this stage there have been 650 complaints from last night’s Love Island specifically relating to Dani being shown the video of Jack, these will be assessed against the broadcasting code before a decision is made whether or not to investigate.”

While Jack was suitably shocked by Ellie’s arrival, he later told the other Islanders that he’s in love with Dani and has also been sleeping outside so that he doesn’t have to share a bed with another girl. 

Monday’s episode will see the main group of Islanders reunited, when an explosive recoupling takes place.

If you're a theatre-lover, the chances are you'll have seen Samira in London's West End at some point or another, performing in shows including 'Mamma Mia!' and, more recently, 'Dreamgirls'.

She also appeared in the live-action remake of Disney's 'Beauty And The Beast' last year. (credit:ITV)

For four years, Eyal was a member of the pop group EverYoung who - in his words - "had small-time success", "toured the country" and created "fan-girl hysteria".

Since the group split in 2015, Eyal now serves as a model, and you may have seen him and his curly locks in Zara Larsson's 'Lush Life' music video. (credit:ITV)

Arguably the most prolific of this year's 'Love Island' contestants, Dani is best known thanks to her famous dad, 'EastEnders' actor and descendant of Edward III, Danny Dyer.

Reality superfans may also remember her from her brief-but-memorable stint on the ill-fated 'Love Island' successor 'Survival Of The Fittest' earlier this year. (credit:ITV)

It's not uncommon for models to wind up staying in the 'Love Island' villa, but Kendall's career path is a rather non-traditional one.

Having previously landed the title of Miss North West in 2015, Kendall then made it to the final of Miss England that same year, but bowed out of the pageant world shortly afterwards. (credit:ITV)

In her introductory interview, 21-year-old model Hayley reveals she's posed for a number of fashion brands, and even appeared in an ad for ITVBe.

A bit of digging from The Sun also revealed that she has a connection with a fair few former 'Love Island' stars, counting Scott Thomas and Chris Hughes among her friends. (credit:ITV)
Laura Anderson(06 of06)

Flight attendant Laura Anderson told 'Love Island' producers that her claim to fame is the celebs she's served over the course of her career, naming Channing Tatum as her most A-list.

However, she didn't disclose her past as a model for six years (which she does mention on her Bayt profile), while The Sun mentioned a past relationship with an undisclosed sports star and, curiously, the fact she used to go by the name Missy Love.
