Love Island Season 7: Euro Summer Welcome back to Love Island: Into The Deep End, a series where I’m diving headfirst into Love Island UK and its impact on British culture. We're onto Series 7. Season Overview: * Love Island Series 7 aired during Euro 2020, creating a unique viewing experience where fans could watch the Euros and Love Island back-to-back.

Season Drama: * Faye’s Row with Teddy / Movie Night: * Faye's outburst at Teddy received 24,763 Ofcom complaints, making it: * The 7th most complained about moment in British TV history. * The most complained-about moment in Love Island history, with more complaints than all previous seasons combined. * The 3rd most complained about moment in British reality TV history (after Celebrity Big Brother incidents). * Faye reacted to a postcard showing Teddy kissing another girl during a challenge, which led to further complaints about gaslighting and manipulation, with 5,000 additional complaints. * Millie Playing the Piano: * Millie’s impromptu piano performance became an iconic Love Island moment, generating numerous memes on Twitter. * Chloe’s "No Whey" Outburst: * Chloe’s dramatic reaction cemented her as one of the standout stars of the season. * Toby’s Constant Recoupling: * Toby's indecision about his romantic interests led to multiple recouplings before he eventually reconciled with Chloe.
