ITV Boss Defends ‘Love Island’ Complaints, Says ‘People are Psychoanalyzed to Death’ Before Coming on Show
In a discussion of the 25,000 complaints lodged against an episode of the most recent season, which saw contestant Faye Winter verbally abuse her partner Teddy Soares, Lygo said the channel’s duty of care overall was the “gold standard” for the industry.
“I’m not so worried about how many complaints as opposed to what are [complainants] actually thinking about, have they got points and did we overstep the mark or did we not, whether it’s 10 people complaining or 10,000 people complaining,” he said. “People do shout at other people, but as long as it’s not physically threatening and it’s not inflammatory, it’s okay, but for some people they might just go a step too far,” said Lygo.
Lygo did, however, point out that gay couples and a blind contestant had featured on ITV winter competition show “Dancing on Ice” while a disabled participant was also featured in “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here” last year.. Including the 400,000 viewers who watched the episode on ITV Hub, the audience totalled 3.2 million viewers.
