LOVE Island host Laura Whitmore is under fire after Aftersun was hit with hundreds of complaints.
Fans were left concerned following the episode, which saw Laura, 37, discuss Ekin-Su’s reported antics in bed with dumped Islander George – despite the Turkish actress repeatedly denying anything happened.
In a week when over 3000 complained about Love Island, 427 of them were about the spin-off show – with the majority of complaints related to comments made about Ekin-Su, and the treatment of Jacques during his interview.
During the episode, Laura kicked off by saying: "Once again Ekin-Su swore that nothing happened with George and it seems Davide doesn’t believe her."
As Laura burst into laughter, Tom Grennan exclaimed: "It deffo happened though didn’t it"
Darren Harriott continued: "She said her head never turned but I think her hand might have turned, and possibly wrist."

Instead of shutting down the conversation, Laura then turned to Sian Welby to ask her opinion.
The comments left her family and friends feeling very uncomfortable and the person looking after her account last night tweeted: “The fact that the s*** shaming is being passed off as banter and good television is very concerning at this rate #LoveIsland.”
Jacques also appeared in his first TV interview after he dramatically quit the show to protect his mental health.
Viewers felt he seemed very uncomfortable discussing what had happened as Laura pushed him for answers.
