Another thing that the show has had this year is more complaints than ever, which ITV have since addressed.<\/p>\n<p>ITV boss Kevin Lygo has been talking about the latest series at the Edinburgh TV Festival and he does not think the complaints the show has had are anything too serious, saying: \u201cThe thing about complaints these days is, every week there\u2019s a new most complained about show. It wasn\u2019t so long ago that you had to go down to the post office and get a stamp. Now, you know, the click of a button and you\u2019re complaining, so you\u2019ve got to take things at face value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not so worried about how many complainers there are as what are they actually complaining about and have they got a point and did we overstep the mark or did we not \u2013 whether it\u2019s 10 people complaining or 10,000 people complaining. With Love Island, it\u2019s very easy to take one episode and go, \u2018oh, that\u2019s too much\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were many moments that caused some real problems for the contestants this year and multiple dramatic moments, from the moment that <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/jake-liberty-leave-love-island-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Jake and Liberty left Love Island<\/a> to Faye Winter losing her cool with Teddy Soares on several occasions after being shown clips from Casa Amor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <\/div> <div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"> <span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>ITV<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cPeople do shout out at other people, and as long as it\u2019s not physically threatening and it\u2019s not too inflammatory, it\u2019s OK,\u201d he added. \u201cBut to some people, it might just step too far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for how long we can expect to be spending our summers in the villa, Lygo does not think that the show is showing signs of slowing down, it\u2019s actually quite the opposite, saying: \u201c[It was] certainly the best performing series ever.\u201d<\/p> <p>Although he does think some small changes may be needed. \u201cThere are many years left in it, and I think the challenge thrown down to the producers is to make some subtle changes, to spice it up a bit, and to keep it as fresh as you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lygo also spoke about <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/im-a-celebrity-2021-line-up\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">I\u2019m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here<\/a>! and whether the plan is to return to the jungle after the announcement was made that the next series would return to the Welsh castle of 2020 and it seems the jungle is still what they think of as the proper home for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to go back to the jungle.
