The comments follow criticism of Garratt’s behaviour towards fellow contestant Lucie Donlan after he questioned her friendship with boxer Tommy Fury, calling it "strange" and "disrespectful", adding: "I think it’s time for you to get close with the girls". Fans of the show also accused Garratt of "gaslighting" on Twitter – a term used to describe a form of emotional abuse where one person gradually manipulates another in order to gain control. "With Love Island viewers complaining to Ofcom in record numbers about Joe’s possessive behaviour towards Lucie, more people are becoming aware of this and want to challenge it," said Adina Claire, co-chief executive of Women’s Aid. "Love Island viewers are now very vocal in calling out unhealthy behaviour between couples on the show, and this is a positive development."
