'Love Island' was hit with more than 25,000 Ofcom complaints last week - a new record for the dating show.

The UK's communications regulator is now deciding "whether or not to investigate" after viewers moaned in their droves about the programme.
A tweet on the Ofcom Twitter account read: "We’ve received over 25,000 complaints about last week’s Love Island, which is consistent with a trend of growing complaints about high-profile TV shows.
"We are carefully assessing these complaints, but have not yet taken a decision on whether or not to investigate."
Of the complaints, 24,763 were made following an episode in which Faye Winter launched an expletive-filled outburst towards her love interest Teddy Soares, after a clip in challenge Mad Movies showed him in Casa Amor telling Clarisse Juliette he was attracted to her.
Following her emotional explosion, Faye, 26, ended her romance with Teddy.
After shouting at him several times throughout the episode, she finally said things are "done" between them.
She said: "Regardless of what was shown, what was said, I kind of … well, no actually it’s not … I know my worth, and for me, this is done."
Teddy attempted to explain himself to Faye, but she insisted the senior financial consultant, also 26, lied to her about keeping to himself while in Casa Amor - despite him spending every night outside with fellow faithful Islander Jake Cornish.
However, earlier this week, Faye apologised to Teddy for her outburst and the pair reunited.
She said: "There’s no excuse. I don’t say sorry to anyone, sorry rarely ever leaves my lips."
Faye went on to insist she was "not done" with Teddy and wanted them to get back together.
She said: "I’m not done, hopefully I can continue with you on this journey."
Apprehensive Teddy replied: "It’s the I’m done situation and I want to move forward alone situation which, out of absolutely everything, hurt me the most.
"It’s not gonna be so easy for me."
His reaction caused Faye to break down in tears, as she said: "I do want that step with you but obviously it’s hard for me to say this now but as soon as you said that I obviously just went into self sabotage mode. Then it all went to s***.
"I’m not gonna ask you to forgive me straight away."
The pair then sealed their reunion with a kiss.
