LOVE Island has been hit with a string of Ofcom complaints amid reports of bullying.

Viewers have been left upset and unhappy after watching Grace Jackson swear at Luca Bish when a game turned vicious.

In uncomfortable scenes, the model told Luca to “shut the f**k up” after he made the decision to kiss Samie Elishi during spin the bottle.

Many fans took to social media at the time to express their concerns and a total of 57 have officially compliant to the broadcasting regulator.

In the scenes, Luca is seen asking Grace who he “should kiss”, if he ends up getting a kissing dare.

Not missing a beat, she replied: “Catherine.”

Later Luca ended up with a card daring him to “snog the Islander, other than your partner who is your vibe”.

But instead of kissing Catherine, as Grace had asked, he went for new bombshell Samie, who he has history with.

After, Grace was heard whispering to Luca to “shut the f**k up”, and called him “disrespectful”.

Luca was so upset he left the game and decided to not join in the rest of it.

It later kicked off again between them in the dressing room, with the blonde beauty telling Luca to grow up.

She explained how they had previously discussed who he should kiss if they were playing a game that involved kissing, with them agreeing he would smooch with Catherine.

Reacting at the time to Grace’s outbursts, viewers took to X to share their thoughts.

One person branded Grace as “rude” when they said: “Is it bad i feel like Grace is being unnecessarily rude? like the way she spoke to him infront of the girls was disgustingly.”

Another person added: “Controversial but Grace is boring… and has a horrible attitude the way she’s speaking to Luca and Omar she has a nasty side.”

While a third echoed: “Grace is soooo rude.”

SIR Keir Starmer today vowed to shut a “legal loophole” that enabled a Gaza family to remain in Britain.

The PM declared “it should be the Government that makes policy” after a judge ruled the six Palestinians could stay in the country using a refugee scheme established for Ukrainians.

At a packed out PMQs Sir Keir said: “I do not agree with the decision.

“It’s the wrong decision.”

The PM added: “Let me be clear, it should be Parliament that makes the rules on immigration.

“It should be the Government that makes the policy, that is the principle, and the Home Secretary is already looking at the legal loophole which we need to close in this particular case.”

Sir Keir humiliated Kemi Badenoch as he pointed out that the decision was taken under the previous Tory government.

Responding to demands from Ms Badenoch to slam the ruling, the PM replied: “She hasn’t quite done her homework, because the decision in question was taken under the last government according to the legal framework for the last government.”

Grilling Sir Keir on the issue, the Tory leader declared Britain cannot “allow enormous numbers of people to exploit our laws”.

She said: “There are millions of people all around the world in terrible situations.

“We cannot help them all, and we certainly cannot bring them all here.”

Politicians expressed outrage today after it emerged a mother, father and their four children could stay in the UK using the Ukraine Family Scheme.

An initial application by the family was refused by the Home Office in May last year.

But in September an immigration tribunal ruled in favour of the Gazans, who claimed under the European Court of Human Rights that they had a “right to a family life” with the father’s brother, who is a UK citizen.

The Home Office insisted it contested the claim “vigorously”.

These were the only two things Hamdi Mustafa Shoshaa managed to retrieve from his home in northern Gaza after he returned for the first time since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

Hamdi, a 38-year-old artist from Gaza City, is one of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have returned to their native homeland hoping to rebuild their lives after months of fighting.

It follows the ceasefire deal that was announced by former US President Joe Biden in January, just five days before he left office.

But the deal could collapse this weekend after Hamas said it would stop releasing Israeli hostages, claiming Israel was violating the conditions.

According to the United Nations, more than 462,000 people have crossed from the south to the north in the last three weeks.

In exclusive footage given to Metro, Hamdi has revealed what it has been like returning back to his home for the first time since the war began.

Standing on a pile of rubble which used to be his home, he shows a sweet photograph of himself and his wife, Shorouq, on their wedding day.

Hamdi is seen in a smart navy suit, light blue shirt, blue tie and blue pocket square, while Shorouq is wearing a white gown and veil, her hand delicately placed on her new husband’s chest.

Joining Hamdi in his return to Gaza were his brothers-in-law, Omar Ahmed Sourani, 27, and Mohamed Ahmed Sourani, 21.

He said the journey, which took him three hours by foot, felt like a ‘religious pilgrimage.’

But despite his excitement in returning home, what awaited him in the Sudanese district north of Gaza City was way beyond anything he could have ever imagined.

He told Metro: ‘I knew that my house was destroyed, but the scene was beyond my ability to imagine, and at that moment feelings that I had never encountered before were mixed together.  

‘Everything had become like a torn garment, and nothing remained for me and my neighbours except scattered memories here and there.  

‘Despite how small and simple, I treated them as a precious treasure that bears witness to my life and the life of my small family.

‘The [wedding] picture brings me [closer] together with my wife, Shorouq.

‘I embraced my memories at that moment, but the questions and the great burden grew in my mind about what form our life would take [now].’  

Hamdi and his family were displaced in the early months of the war. Similarly to thousands of other Gazans, they have since moved to the southern city of Khan Younis, a largely-destroyed metropolis near the border with Egypt.

For his return to Gaza, he left his wife Shorouq, 30, and their three daughters Ghada, six, Bana, five, and Salma, two, behind to keep them safe.

Driven by what he described as ‘indescribable longing,’ he marched toward Gaza City shortly after the ceasefire announcement was made on January 15.  

Recalling the journey, the father-of-three said everyone – ‘young and old, women and men’ – chanted ‘Come on, walk with us to Palestine’ and ‘My country, Gaza, O Gaza, land of glory and land of pride.’

‘The majestic moment when my body was freed from all forms of fatigue and my soul rejoiced with joy was when my feet stepped into the neighbourhood that I had carried in my memory for 15 months of war,’ he said.

After collecting the toy and wedding photograph, Hamdi has since returned to Khan Younis to reunite with his wife and children and is still figuring out his next steps.

During his time in the southern city, he has delivered art workshops for youngsters, funded by Christian Aid charity and run by the Palestinian Culture and Free Thought Association, to give them even a brief distraction from the constant missile strikes.

Before the war broke out, he worked in manufacturing.

Hamdi, who lost all his livelihood during the war, added: ‘I do not know if there is [the possibility] to start over with my project Tezzkar, which is a project specialised in manufacturing souvenirs and heritage items in a city where everyone’s priority is to search for a living.  

‘However, I pin some hopes on marketing my creative works through cyberspace to the outside world and to supporters and those interested in Palestinian affairs who flock to the Gaza Strip.

‘I do not know if that will be enough to take off my professional life again.’
