The ITV2 dating show, which came to an end last night, has been TV’s most complained about show for the last two years.

But despite there being two series this year, the number of gripes about it has fallen — along with the number of viewers.

Watchdog Ofcom received a total of 3,098 moans about the two series this year.

In 2021, Ofcom received 24,793 protests against Love Island, with 5,991 in 2022.

But this year’s crown goes to the historic moment when King Charles was crowned in May.

The coronation was watched by 18million people on the BBC — and 8,389 of them complained.

Most of the whinges were about comments made by Bridgerton actress Adjoa Andoh about the lack of diversity in the Royal Family.

She later said she did not intend to cause offence.

Love Island producers have introduced several welfare and training measures for contestants.

They include working on “respectful relationships” following accusations of gaslighting by 2022’s cast, including Luca Bish and Jacques O’Neill.

But the show, hosted by Maya Jama, 28, has also had fewer viewers this series, averaging around 2.7million per episode — half the number of its 2019 peak.

ITV says the show has garnered the biggest audience of 16 to 24-year-olds on any commercial channel since the World Cup last year and has been streamed 300million times online.

Last night Whitney Adebako and Lochan Nowacki vied against Jess Harding and Sammy Root, Tyrique Hyde and Ella Thomas plus Molly Marsh and Zach Noble for the crown.

Now it has been revealed that the winter series will not return in 2024, with ITV instead airing an “All Stars” run in its place.

Former contestants including Megan Barton-Hanson and Georgia Steel are said to be in talks to join.
