Love Island fans flood Ofcom with 1,300 complaints amid fears for distraught Lucie

Love Island viewers have flooded Ofcom with complaints amid fears for Lucie Donlan.

The surfer babe has been left distraught after her partner Joe Garratt was dumped from the villa last night amid rising tensions with the other girls.

She's fallen out with Amy Hart, and despite several attempts to make up there still seems to be animosity between the pair.

In a teaser for tonight's episode, she was seen in floods of tears and viewers have flocked to the broadcasting watchdog to express their fears for the star.

There have been 684 complaints about "the treatment of Lucie by the others contestants" while there were a further 686 about Maura's unwelcomed advances to Tommy last week.

In Friday's episode, the Irish stunner climbed on top of the boxer and attempted to force him to snog as he said no and kept turning his face away.

An Ofcom spokesperson told Mirror Online: “We will assess these complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”

Lucie has been under fire over the last few days as Amy and the other girls accused her of spending too much time with the boys.

She confessed she prefers spending time with male companions as girls bring "too much drama" - and it seemed to isolate her even further from the group.

It was made worse when her partner Joe also said she was spending too much time with love rival Tommy.

Joe was bombarded which sickening messages online and even accused of being "abusive" for telling her not to hang out with the hunky boxer so much.

His departure has now left Lucie distraught and she appears to be on the verge of quitting the show.

Mirror Online has since confirmed Love Island psychologists stepped in to support Lucie after Joe's exit.

A source said: "Lucie mulled over whether to leave after Joe - it wasn't as though she was determined to leave but it was definitely in the mix."

An Love Island spokesman confirmed a psychologist is on hand at all times.

Love Island airs nightly at 9pm on ITV2
