Viewers are calling out the latest season of Love Island All Stars.
Shortly after the season 2 finale aired on ITV, fans of the hit reality dating show lodged over 2,000 complaints to Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s government-approved regulatory and competition authority for the broadcasting, telecommunications and postal industries.
Feb. 12’s episode garnered 1,347 complaints while Feb. 11’s episode received 820. Episodes broadcasted on Feb. 13 and 16 also picked up 63 and 57 complaints, respectively.
Per The Independent, the complaints were predominantly about contestant Elma Pazar’s alleged bullying after she got into a heated argument with Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Curtis Pritchard.
PEOPLE has reached out to Ofcom for comment.
During the season finale on Feb. 19, Elma, Ekin-Su and Curtis found themselves in the thick of drama when Ekin-Su confronted Elma for asking the public if she and Curtis were the weakest couple in the villa during a challenge.
Things worsened as Elma pointed out that Ekin-Su had chosen to kiss her partner Sammy Root in a heart-rate challenge, where islanders attempt to raise each other’s heart rates by performing raunchy dances, despite promising her former friend she wouldn’t lock lips.
Eventually, Elma fired off and told Curtis to “shut your mouth” and “f— off” as Ekin-Su claimed that Elma had developed an ego after she was crowned as the public’s favorite.
Elma initially refused to apologize and claimed she never liked Curtis, adding, “He’s not my cup of tea. He’s not even my cup of piss.” However, one day before the finale, she made amends and apologized to Curtis for her comments.
Season 2 of Love Island All Stars returned to Peacock on Jan. 15 and brought former Love Island U.K. contestants back to paradise for a second chance at love. Each week, couples paired up and were tested by challenges, unexpected bombshells and plenty of drama.
