Women's Aid 'talking to ITV' amid 'misogyny' accusations on Love Island
Domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid has confirmed it is in discussions with ITV after the charity was inundated with posts flagging the “misogynistic and controlling” behaviour that has been seen in recent episodes of Love Island.The popular ITV dating show has captivated audiences since it returned last month, but viewers have been left feeling increasingly uncomfortable about some of the behaviour seen on screen, particularly in the infamous Movie Nights featured on the show, in which the contestants are exposed to videos of their partners getting up to no good in Casa Amor. In scenes that aired on Sunday night, July 17, viewers at home saw Luca Bish take umbrage at partner Gemma Owen for speaking to newcomer Billy Brown, with the fishmonger accusing her of “flirting” – despite her insisting otherwise.
