Love Island fans slammed ITV2 producers after Dani Dyer sobbed when she was shown footage of Jack Fincham's reaction to his ex-girlfriend entering Casa Amor.

The 23-year-old was shown a clip of her new boyfriend's face when his former flame entered the separate villa and many viewers regarded it 'unnecessary'.

And here's us thinking we're pissed off but imagine how the actual Danny Dyer is feeling right now, watching his little girl having her heart broken on national television.

According to Metro, TV regulator Ofcom have confirmed that they received 650 complaints 'specifically related to Dani being shown the video of Jack'.

We bet he majority of them were from her old man.

These, a spokesperson confirmed, will be assessed against broadcasting codes before a decision is made on whether or not to investigate.

Viewers were outraged by what happened on Sunday night's episode, which followed the boys' journey in Casa Amor - where six new girls arrived, including Essex boy Jack Fincham's ex-girlfriend, Ellie Jones.

ITV2 producers decided to put clips onto a video message which was sent to the girls - who had welcomed the arrival of six new boys - back at the Love Island main villa.

And fans were furious about the decision to introduce Ellie, with some even accusing producers of 'emotional abuse', Metro have reported.

In an email to Ofcom, one wrote: "This was intentionally misleading and caused Dani to be very upset. The producers deliberately left out footage showing Jack saying he loved Danni and him sleeping outside on his own."

Another fan said on Twitter: "Very unpleasant viewing tonight Love Island , the emotional turmoil you are putting Dani through was unacceptable and clearly has left lots of people worried for her - I have reported to Ofcom really think you need to take your responsibilities much more seriously".

What the show didn't seem to have put in the short clip was a conversation between Jack and Adam where he said: "I actually love...I'm not going to lie to you. I love Dani Dyer. I actually love her."

He also slept outside on a insect infested swinging bed to avoid sleeping in the bedroom with the new girls and told fellow contestants he was happy for them to crack on with Ellie.

Metro asked about the presence of psychological support on the show, to which a rep said: "All of our islanders are offered psychological support before, during and after their time in the villa.

"We take our duty of care very seriously and this is always our top priority."
