Fuming Love Island viewers calling Ofcom as show is hit by fresh bullying row after explosive fight
FUMING Love Island viewers are calling Ofcom as the show is hit by a fresh bullying row, after an explosive fight. It comes after fans watched on as Yasmin snogged two of the boys in the villa, during a game of beer pong. 5 5 5 Yasmin's first snog occurred with Dejon, who is coupled up with Meg, but he was tasked with snogging the Islander he found most attractive, aside from his partner. He went straight over to Yasmin as Meg watched on, and snogged her. Later on in the game, Yasmin ended up snogging Harry too, despite being coupled up with Shea. And some of the girls questioned Yasmin's motives after the villa snogs, including Meg who was shocked to see love interest Dejon's kiss with her. After a tense exchange between Meg and Yasmin, some fans have threatened to call Ofcom, accusing the girls of 'ganging up.' One person wrote: 'Can the girls stop going at Yasmin… OFCOM! #LoveIsland.' A second penned: 'Ofcom complaint being filed for the witches coven bullying Yasmin #LoveIsland.' A third echoed: 'Those OFCOM lines will be busy #LoveIsland,' and a fourth said: 'I wanna write to ofcom that was awful tv #LoveIsland.' The threats of Ofcom come as Meg said to Yasmin in front of the group: 'Wait, how can you still be happy in your couple if you're snogging everyone but the man you're coupled up with?' Love Island fans convinced star is AI bot in bizarre conspiracy theory Yasmin fired back: 'It's just a game,' to which Meg responded: 'But you're saying you're happy in your couple.' Things were obviously tense between the ladies, as Yasmin backed her reasoning, responding: 'Everyone's playing the games way too safe and you're here to explore connections and to take risks.' Not backing down, Meg added: 'I know it's a game, but you got asked if you're happy in your couple and you said yes, and you've not once kissed your man. Don't think you're happy in your couple.' Yasmin ended the chat by saying: 'That's your opinion,' as the other Islanders watched on. Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare. Shakira Khan: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads. Megan Moore: A payroll specialist from Southampton, looking for someone tall and stylish. Alima Gagigo: International business graduate with brains and ambition. Tommy Bradley: A gym enthusiast with a big heart. Helena Ford: A Londoner with celebrity connections, aiming to find someone funny or Northern. Ben Holbrough: A model ready to make waves. Megan Clarke: An Irish actress already drawing comparisons to Maura Higgins. Dejon Noel-Williams: A personal trainer and semi-pro footballer, following in his footballer father's footsteps. Aaron Buckett: A towering 6'5' personal trainer. Conor Phillips: A 25-year-old Irish rugby pro. Antonia Laites: Love Island's first bombshell revealed as sexy Las Vegas pool party waitress. Yasmin Pettet: The 24-year-old bombshell hails from London and works as a commercial banking executive. Malisha Jordan: A teaching assistant from Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, who entered Love Island 2025 as a bombshell.

He was released with no further action taken and denies any wrongdoing. Sophie Lee: A model and motivational speaker who has overcome adversity after suffering life-changing burns in an accident. Blu Chegini: A boxer with striking model looks, seeking love in the villa. So far Yasmin has asked Dejon for a threesome, propositioned Harry, and talked no stop about sex - despite saying she had only slept with two men. It all kicked off after Yasmin turned to Dejon on Tuesday night's episode, and asked: 'I have a question for you, it's a bit rogue, would you have a threesome with me and Toni?' Dejon laughed - but was soon saved from answering as Meg called out: 'Come here please!" He joked: "You called me at a good time! Oh my god! We'll continue that question." However, the flirty tone continued as she followed up with: 'It was in my head, I had to say it. Intrusive thoughts, intrusive thoughts." Yasmin tried to defend the comment as innocent fun, insisting: 'It was just flirty banter. I think all of us talk really openly about sex and what we want to experience.' But Meg wasn't having it, firing back: 'It just seems to be you three all the time.' In the same episode, bombshell Yasmin revealed to some of the Islanders, including Harry and Dejon, that a man had never given her an orgasm before - which came amid another very shocking claim. The Londoner also confessed that she has only ever slept with two men before, despite speaking about sex frequently with guys in the villa. Then, in Wednesday night's instalment, Yasmin spoke to Harry on the terrace when things got very flirty. She spoke about being "bent over" and he said she was "undressing" him with her eyes. 5 5
