The most complained about TV moments of 2022, according to Ofcom

Ofcom have released a run down of the most complained about TV moments of 2022, including Love Island and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The regulatory body is in place to ensure the best quality terrestrial TV, radio and video, and gives viewers the opportunity to complain if they don't think a certain UK standard is being met.

As Love Island fans will know, the reality TV dating show, which sees people coupling up and pieing off in a villa in Mallorca, the show saw a *lot* of complaints this year, specifically around the treatment of Tasha Ghouri.

In an article on their website, Ofcom explained: "Over the year, we received 36,543 complaints about over 9,500 issues, and completed 74 broadcast standards investigations. We found in 66 of these cases that our rules had been broken.

"We also completed 45 fairness and privacy investigations during the year, of which six complaints were upheld. These figures show the weight we place on freedom of expression, and that we only step in when it’s really needed."
