A Love Island star has been reduced to tears after a blazing row as viewers predict Ofcom will be “red hot tonight”.
The third episode of Love Island All Stars is in full swing and audiences have already been thrown into complete mayhem.
Between bombshell entrances, three recoupling ceremonies and shocking departures, there have been numerous explosive incidents.
Tonight’s programme (January 27) witnessed a massive villa split following heated scenes when a furious argument erupted during a challenge. Each Islander selected a box containing a hidden characteristic and presented it to the All Star they believed best matched the quality.

Tensions rapidly intensified when Scott rose to his feet and handed Sean the ‘Stirring the pot’ characteristic, reports OK!. In a scathing outburst, Scott declared: “The behaviour you have had towards Shaq is snakey. I feel like you use the ‘Sean let me feel sorry for you’ card and get the grace that he doesn’t get.”
He subsequently continued: “When I came in and said something to you after what I’d seen as a viewer and the first few days I thought maybe I actually got it wrong, but I think I actually got it right and you’ve not grown as a person.”
Scott proceeded to state he “does not conform” to Sean’s tears as he accused his fellow contestant of “hiding behind” Belle.
The situation quickly became emotional for Sean who was spotted battling back tears as he responded: “Look Scott, you’ve had your moment, you’ve smashed it mate.”
Confessing he believed Scott had been “picking on me since day one”, Sean continued: “You had your moment when you first came in, you humiliated me and when everyone else has come through the door you’ve been like ‘we’re good mates now’… we’re not mates. I don’t know you, you’re not my mate.”
Defending Sean’s position, Tommy declared: “That shows a man, not a snake” whilst Sean labelled Scott a “bully”. During the dramatic confrontation, multiple contestants were witnessed in tears as they pleaded with Scott “enough now”.

Scott responded firmly: “He’s accused me of bullying.” With the villa clearly split down the middle, viewers flocked to social media to voice their opinions, appearing equally divided. One viewer questioned: “Who else is calling ofcom?”
Another predicted: “OMG I just know Ofcom is going to be red hot tonight.” A third observed: “ofcom blowing up rn.”
A fourth sympathised: “I honestly feel horrible for Sean.” Another hailed it as “amazing tv” whilst one viewer remarked: “this villa is not real.”
One spectator noted: “Tuning to see the episode that could have Love Island potentially finished by the number of Ofcom complaints due to come after tonight.”
One person criticised: “There’s a difference between getting someone to take accountability and bullying. And Scott is a bully.”
Nevertheless, one viewer defended the Islander: “Scott is not childish!”
Love Island All Stars continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
