Not everyone's heart was racing during the infamous challenge

LOVE Island fans were left complaining of 'the ick' after this year's heart rate challenge.

Viewers have threatened to report one islander to television watchdog Ofcom after his attempt at getting the ladies' hearts racing fell flat.

Ronnie Vint stormed the fire pit in a pair of red lamé hot pants before spraying a mouthful of water into the air.

He then made a desperate attempt to excite some of the girls by using a hanker-chief to cover their eyes before frantically snogging them.

He threw himself at Jess, before scooping up love rival Harriett into his arms and planting a sloppy tongue sandwich on her.

Watching on from the roof terrace, even the boys declared: "This is awful!"

Fans have now made their feelings known after logging onto X, formerly known as Twitter.

One complained: "Ofcom look forward to a complaint after that Ronnie segment."

Another said: "I'm reporting Ronnie's performance to Ofcom (I couldn't even watch it)."

A third said: "Loooool Ronnie please. He’s just not sexy bless him."

A fourth added: "Ronnie is just NOT sexy, his heart rate challenge was a comedy show bless him."

And someone else agreed: "Literally only 2-3 of these men have any sex appeal I’m done, I had to actually avert my eyes from the screen for Ronnie."

The heart rate challenge is a Love Island staple and always causes drama between the islanders.

The girls and boys take it in turns to perform a sexy routine for the opposite sex, before finding out whose heart rate was raised the most by it.

Despite viewers not enjoying Ronnie's shambolic attempt, one islander was left with her heart racing by his red hot pants and sloppy kisses.

Jess was the girl whose heart had raced the most, leaving Harriett - who Ronnie is coupled up with - fuming.

And to make matters worse, Ronnie had the strongest response for Jess's performance.

Laughing at each other, they joked: "You f***ing wish!"

Harriett then rolled her eyes, as Jess mused: "He's only human!"

Harriett, Jess and Ronnie have once again become embroiled in a love triangle, with both girls wanting to pursue him.

But the triangle was quickly shut down on Sunday night during the latest recoupling.

Harriett choose to couple up with Ronnie, leaving Jess forced to recouple with the last man standing - Joey Essex. Harriett and Ronnie were then handed a first date outside of the villa.

The heart rate challenge, however, suggests there is unfinished business between Ronnie and Jess.

On Wednesday night, the boat is set to be rocked further when Jess and Joey are treated to dates with two new bombshells - Trey Norman and Jessy Potts.
