Viewers call for Faye to be booted out after her furious rant at Teddy
FURIOUS Love Island fans launched a fresh wave of complaints to Ofcom after watching Faye Winter give Teddy Soares a mouthful of abuse on Friday.
Teddy’s cousin also joined in the chorus of protests as the series caused outrage for a second time.
It came after the July 28 episode sparked around 5,000 complaints for its “cruel” treatment of the couple.
The episode saw Faye being sent a misleading postcard suggesting Teddy had cheated on her.
After the couple’s latest showdown, viewer Kaylee Gibbs tweeted: “My first complaint to Ofcom. What I just watched was horrendous. Mental health needs to be taken seriously. That was from however many hours of Faye gaslighting Teddy!”
Another fan said: “Catching up on Love island and I’ve
had to turn off because I can’t stand... the treatment Teddy is receiving from Faye.”
Teddy’s cousin Tania Monteiro was also sickened by Faye’s behaviour, which came after Islanders saw clips from the series.
Footage showed Teddy, 26, talking of his “sexual attraction” to former contestant Clarisse Juliette, leading to the row and
Faye telling him they were “so done.” Speaking to the Sunday Mirror from her home near Lisbon, Portugal, Tania said: “I don’t have words for what she has done.
“It was hard to see. I was really upset because I saw in his [Teddy’s] face he was down and I just want to give him a big hug.
“If I had seen her yesterday, I think I would say bad things to her. We are here for Ted. We are protecting him.”
Tania joined viewers’ calls for bosses to kick Faye, 26, off the show
– but said she doubts they will because she is good for ratings.
She said: “For me, she needs to go but for Love Island, she is the person who has an audience so I don’t think they will remove her... for them it is money.” Tania added:
“What people see is what Ted is in reality.
Faye showed her worst side, her true colours. She needs support… medical help.”
An ITV spokesman said Islanders’ welfare “is always our primary concern”.
He added: “We have psychological support on hand at all times who regularly speak to the Islanders in private, especially if someone appears upset.
“Islanders are fully supported by professionals on site and friends in the villa.”
For me, she should go, but I don’t think they will do it TEDDY’S COUSIN TANIA ON FAYE’S BEHAVIOUR
