Love Island fans threaten Ofcom complaints after 'shameful' and 'nasty' edit

Some Love Island fans were quick to call out the "selective" and "shameful" edit by producers on Thursday night, which appeared to yet again favour two Islanders over another pair.

For weeks fans have called out "bullying" behaviour by some of the girls towards others, believing Shakira and Toni had deliberately been targeted with unkind comments and behaviour. Of course Toni and Shakira have made their own comments about some of their co-stars, but scenes involving Meg, Megan and Helena have been called out across the series.

Something else constantly called out, especially this week, is the edit by the team putting the episodes out. Fans have suggested some of the episodes have made some stars look better than others, with it also suggested certain people have been "set up" to look like "villains".

Just days ago fans called out the show for "setting up" Shakira and Toni with certain parts of the show, as well as their nomination in the Grafties. As the awards played out in the latest episode, it seems the inclusion of their secret chat about Meg, Helena, Dejon and Harry had the desired effect.

The villa fell silent with everyone awkward, while Toni and Shakira defended their remarks about the quartet that had been made on Movie Night, after a row. Movie Night had aired some more secret chats that sparked a villa row, and it was this which led to Toni and Shakira saying what they said - as shown on Thursday.

But Meg immediately called them out leading to a back and forth of words between all those involved. Meg ended up in tears as Helena denied telling Shakira that Meg "hated her", and both girls were clearly unimpressed by the conversation they'd only just learned of.

Harry and Dejon also took offence and admitted they were shocked by it, and ultimately Shakira and Toni hoped exactly what they had said about the girls, referencing the group divide and things Meg and Helena had said about people, would come to light. Unfortunately it did not, and viewers were left furious as the show played out a clip of Meg and Helena that was "tame".

There was no drama in their clip and it was a recent moment, nothing from the past or from conversations where they have discussed their co-stars. Viewers slammed the difference between the way each pair had been portrayed, and their "deliberate" decision to not show the "worse" clips of Meg and Helena.

Once again accusing the show of trying to make Toni and Shakira the "villains", fans threatened to go to Ofcom about the scenes and called the decided edit "insane" and "nasty". Taking to social media one fan said: "This is a VERY tame edit for Helena and Meg. The producers definitely have something against Shakira and Toni."

Another fan posted: "Im reporting you to Ofcom," as a third agreed: "OFCOM OFCOM OFCOM." A fourth fan said: "The producers are doing EVERYTHING to make Toni and Shakira look like villains and Meg and Helena innocent like the difference in these clips is INSANE."

Stunned by the Meg and Helena clip, a fan responded: "You should be ashamed of yourselves making the villa turn against them knowing full well what Helena and Meg say about others." Another said: "That Meg and Helena clip was so dumb, they’ve said worse," while a further post read: "Making Meg and Helena look good when they could have shown MULTIPLE clips of them being straight out nasty I hate these producers."
