LOVE Island fans have vowed to complain to Ofcom in their droves in a bid to get a “gross” Islander axed from the show.
Viewers of the ITV2 dating show were left disgusted by 23-year-old Ben Holborough after he laid into his villa partner Yasmin and claimed that none of the guys in the villa fancied her and he never had any intentions of pursuing anything with her.
The pair came to blows with Ben brutally going after Yasmin and delivered one shock comment after another.
Ben told Yasmin that he had never been interested in pursuing a connection with her and that he had never “rated her”.
This came just one day after he got very close with her in the bedroom.
The couple confirmed they enjoyed kisses during some steamy bedroom action in which Yasmin seductively whispered to him: “You don’t get this with a nice girl.”
Now, fans have been left horrified by Ben’s sudden switch and his bedroom antics with Yasmin before claiming he never was into her.
Demanding that he be pulled from the villa, one fan said on Reddit: “No problem him not being into her but he basically just used her for whatever needs he needed seeing to that night in the bedroom, so gross and disrespectful.”
Another agreed as they echoed: “I found Bens behaviour to be very triggering.
“Nothing wrong with not being into Yasmin but why did he go in on her and get aggressive.
“He’s incredibly toxic with his mentality and words. Nobody should be spoken to like this it was completely overreacted.”
A third went on to write: “Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever heard a man speak worse to a woman on this show!!!”
As a fourth penned: “We all need to complain to ofcom via their online form about Ben.
“Call me sensitive but it was really uncomfortable watching Ben speak to Yasmin in that way especially since she did absolutely nothing to deserve that?”
Ben sparked outrage on last night’s show as he rowed with Yasmin Pettet, 24, and cruelly slammed her.
In a brutal put down, he told her: “You’re lucky Shea even picked you. To be fair, I think you’re lucky you’re even in here now to be fair.
“No one rated you when you were in here let’s say. You’ve only come out your shell because you’re in a couple with me.”
As she walked away, Ben shouted to the rest of the villa: “Eh, she’s made content for the next three weeks lads.”
