Love Island fans ‘threaten to call Ofcom’ as they slam ‘mad man’ in the villa
LOVE Island fans have claimed they will be calling Ofcom over “mad man” Mehdi Edno.
Viewers are so furious with the way Mehdi spoke to Whitney Adebayo following the fallout from the latest challenge that they want to complain.
The couples had all been put to the test this weekend when bosses sprung the infamous Heart Rate Challenge on them.
Despite being coupled up with Whitney, Mehdi used it as chance to snog FOUR other women – and it did not go down well.
But when 25-year-old entrepreneur Whitney called him out on his behaviour during Monday night’s show, Mehdi, 26, took serious offence.
“I’m not going to fall for it. If you want to have an attitude, you can have one,” the French model told confused Whitney.
“You’re literally, honestly draining all my energy. You’re asking a question and then another, and this and that. Please make sense. Ask simple questions.
“Don’t come with an attitude in front of everyone, that’s ridiculous.”
Exasperated, Whitney told him: “You were kissing everyone.”
But standing up and walking away, he muttered: “You don’t even make sense.”
Love Island fans were furious with Mehdi’s attitude towards Whitney and threatened to contact television watchdog Ofcom.
They had already claimed to be picking up the phone to lodge a complaint about the way he “made” the girls kiss him in the challenge.
Following his fallout with Whitney, one tweeted: “I’m making an OFCOM complaint about Mehdi, what the f*** is his problem??”
Another added: “Nahhh I have to make an ofcom complaint about mehdi.”
A third chimed in: “Mehdi is a mad man. Calling Ofcom.”
And someone even suggested: “Can we all collectively report Mehdi to OFCOM please?!?!?!?!!!”
Sadly, things just went from mad to worse for Whitney and Mehdi as Monday’s episode played out.
Whitney attempted to pull him up on his four snogs several more times, evening telling him: “You’re mean. You’re mean.”
But he just told her: “If you come to me with an attitude, then I won’t address it.”
Talking to the girls, Whitney insisted that she would not let it drop.
“I feel like he gets away with everything but this one here, I can’t even defend him,” she said. “I can’t shake it. He’s made his bed.”
Yet Mehdi told the guys: “I feel like recently with Whitney we struggle to understand each other. I see a side of her I don’t like but it’s because we can’t understand each other.”
Frustrated, Whitney found herself venting in the Beach Hut.
“He literally doesn’t appreciate me at all,” she said. “My eyes are starting to open and I’m wondering if I should explore other connections.”
With that in mind, Whitney then pulled Montel McKenzie for a chat, despite him getting to know Leah Taylor.
