Love Island viewers have stated their intent to complain to Ofcom over comments Jess Harding has made about Molly Marsh.
Tensions began flaring between Molly and Jess when the musical theatre performer, 21, made it clear she was interested in getting to know bombshell Zachariah Noble.
Aesthetics practitioner Jess had branded Molly an ‘actress’ and urged her to pick one boy and apologise to original partner Mitchel Taylor for her behaviour.
The gossiping about Molly continued on Wednesday’s episode, with viewers hearing Jess and Ella Thomas swiping her as she hit the gym with Zach for some exercise.
Later on, the ITV 2 dating show saw its islanders gather for some daring games throughout which jibes were made at Molly being a ‘game player’ and ‘two faced’.

Audience members took to Twitter at the time to share their thoughts on the ordeal and dubbed the duo ‘mean girls’ for their continuous criticism of Molly.
They have now expressed their concerns about Jess’ treatment of Molly further, with many said they had lodged complaints with Ofcom.
One warned: ‘Jess and Ella might wanna be careful before they get bullying complaints sent to ofcom #loveIsland.’

Ella and Jess’s antics came after Ruchee Gurung became the second islander to leave the villa.
The 24 year old beautician was left without a partner after a surprising re-coupling shook the villa.
Medhi Edno was tasked with delivering the news and said the group felt Ella had a better chance of finding a connection so sent Ruchee on her way.

As she packed her bag and left the villa, the budding star admitted: ‘I thought that I would be disappointed, but I’m not because I tried my best and I was myself. It didn’t work out for me and that’s completely fine.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted ITV for comment.
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
