Raging: Since Friday the watchdog received a total of 794 complaints, 486 of which were related to Maura's display, which many viewers branded 'desperate' and 'crossing a line' Awkward: Viewers admitted they have found Maura's pursuit of Tommy 'cringeworthy' as she continued to vie for his affections on the show Toy-curling: Maura's brazen approach to landing Tommy in the villa has stunned many fans, especially when she asked him if she 'turned him on' While another said: 'Maura crossed a line with the whole kissing debacle. Following several fruitless attempts, Maura finally landed a kiss with Tommy during Sunday's show, as they smooched during a Bridezillas challenge When contacted by MailOnline a spokesperson for Love Island said: 'We take the emotional well-being of all the Islanders extremely seriously. Unbelievable: Other fans have also heavily criticised Lucie's partner Joe for being 'controlling' and 'manipulative' Wrong: The sandwich maker said it was 'weird' that Lucie had such a close friendship with Tommy in the villa Many fans also criticised Joe following Sunday's show, as he said it was 'weird' that she had such a close friendship with Tommy, adding that he hopes her behaviour will 'change' as their relationship progresses.
