Love Island viewers claim Ofcom complaints pushed producers to intervene
LOVE Island viewers have claimed that their Ofcom complaints have pushed producers to intervene with the boys.
Viewers have made countless complaints about the behaviour of the ITV2 dating show's male contestants throughout the eighth series.
Love Island was hit with more than 1,500 Ofcom complaints earlier this week after the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge.
Fans lashed out against the episode citing the boys' "misogynistic behaviour" towards the girls in the aftermath of the brutal game.
Tonight, the boys appeared on their best behaviour as they pulled out all the stops to impress the girls, making them a sweet breakfast.
However, fans are convinced that this wasn't on the boys' own accord - and that the producers stepped in about their behaviour.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "Why do I feel like the boys are doing all these nice things at the request of the producers because of the complaints about the boys bullying the girls."
"Have the boys been told by producers to 'treat' the girls because people are onto them?" a second chimed in.
A third added: "I think the producers had a big talk with all the boys cause how come they suddenly treat the girls so nicely?"
"The boys are only whipped because the producers gave them a misogyny seminar halfway through," a fourth concluded.

It comes after Love Island was hit with more than 5,000 Ofcom complaints over just five days over the boys' behaviour.
During the controversial Snog, Marry, Pie episode, Billy Brown set the tone for the shocking behaviour when he completely bypassed Danica Taylor with whom he is partnered up with.
She was left fuming when Billy did not choose to kiss, marry or even pie Danica, trying to excuse his behaviour saying "it would've been boring if I chose her".
Danica was left fuming: "I'm not having this," and later cried to the other girls about how she was having such bad luck in the villa.

Things got really heated when Dami Hope chose to kiss his Casa Amor ex Summer to the shock of Indiyah Polack.
Elsewhere, Tasha was pied three times - by Davide, Dami and Luca - with each giving their reasons for doing so.
Luca savagely told her, leaving her upset: "I could give you a list, but I'll let it go for today. It's just a game."
Fans rushed online to accuse the boys of bullying her, with ex-Islander Amber Gill writing on Twitter: "Gosh I hope Tasha is OK. These boys are basically bullying her at this point."
