Joe Garrett's behaviour in question
A domestic violence charity in the UK has issued a statement over Joe Garrett's behaviour on Love Island.
According to Women's Aid, there has been a record number of complaints to Ofcom this season.
The broadcast regulator has had nearly 800 complaints about the reality series since Friday alone.
302 people were specifically concerned about the Joe's treatment of Lucie.
Adina Claire, Co-Chief Executive of Women’s Aid, said:
'Controlling behaviour is never acceptable, and with Love Island viewers complaining to Ofcom in record numbers about Joe’s possessive behaviour towards Lucie, more people are becoming aware of this and want to challenge it.'
Claire contined, 'Abusive relationships often start off with subtle signs of control.'
'It's important that it is recognised at an early stage.'
She finished, 'Love Island viewers are now very vocal in calling out unhealthy behaviour between couples, and this is a positive development.'
