The couple had a major falling out over events from Casa Amor. <\/p>
Hit reality series Love Island<\/a> has once again found itself at the centre of controversy, with a recent argument between two contestants attracting almost 25,000 complaints to regulator Ofcom.<\/p>\n Islanders Faye Winter<\/a> and Teddy Soares<\/a> had been coupled up for some time but their relationship was put to the test when the boys were sent to Casa Amor, an alternative villa populated by new potential partners.<\/p>\n Last Friday, the remaining contestants were shown footage from Casa Amor week, with Teddy seen flirting with Clarisse Juliette and later kissing her (in the context of a challenge).<\/p>\n Outside of that brief game, he had stayed faithful to Faye but, upon viewing footage where he said there was a \u201csexual attraction\u201d between them, she felt betrayed and went on a foul-mouthed rant at her partner.<\/p>\n In total, 24,763 complaints \u2013 the highest for a single episode this series to far \u2013 were lodged about that particular episode of Love Island, most of which were targeted at Faye\u2019s behaviour, but there has been no word yet on whether an investigation will be launched.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are carefully assessing these complaints, but have not yet taken a decision on whether or not to investigate,\u201d an Ofcom spokesperson said on the organisation\u2019s official Twitter<\/a> page.<\/p> An ITV spokesperson previously issued a statement to RadioTimes.com<\/a> following the backlash to the scenes of Faye and Teddy\u2019s argument.<\/p>\n \u201cWelfare and duty of care towards our contributors is always our primary concern, and we take the emotional well-being of all the Islanders extremely seriously,\u201d they said. \u201cWe have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times who monitor and regularly speak to all of the Islanders in private and off camera, especially if someone appears to be upset. All the Islanders are therefore fully supported by the professionals on site and by their friends in the villa. Islanders can always reach out and talk to someone if they feel the need.\u201d<\/p>\n On Tuesday night\u2019s programme, Faye reconciled with Teddy, offering a full apology for her reaction to the clip, with the couple ultimately deciding to stay together.<\/p>\n \u201cI am really sorry for the way I spoke to you,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s no excuse for the way I spoke to you or how I raised my voice and no-one should have someone speak to them like that.\u201d<\/p>\n Faye\u2019s social media accounts, which are monitored by her family during her time in the villa, have been hit by abusive and threatening comments since last Friday\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n They wrote in an Instagram<\/a> story: \u201cWhile we don\u2019t want to comment on the events of the show, we ask everyone to remember: You are watching a highly edited TV show which is created for entertainment \u2013 you can never see the full picture.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are human beings managing the islander\u2019s social media pages who will be seriously effected [sic] by your comments,\u201d the continued. \u201cWe ask that everyone please remember this before commenting or messaging.<\/p>\n \u201cWe make no apology for turning off comments, blocking & deleting to protect the mental well-being of ourselves and Faye when she comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n Love Island continues on ITV2 tonight at 9pm.
