Molly was dumped from the villa by bombshell Kady McDermott, leaving her heartbroken about leaving love interest Zachariah Noble, 25.

In a rare move by producers, Molly was brought back - despite having returned to the "normal world" back in the UK.

Molly, 21, turned up alongside the other Casa Amor girls to shock Zachariah.

Fans have been disgruntled over the "unfairness" - insisting the rules should have been changed for the Islander.

Others claim she has taken up the space of other hopefuls.

An Ofcom spokesman said: "Complaints related to contestant Molly Marsh being reintroduced to Casa Amor having been eliminated from the programme the previous week."

One viewer wrote: "Bringing Molly back is spoiling this whole thing, she’s not even that entertaining. It’s annoying that she’s getting preferential treatment."

A fan said: "Whoever thought it was the right decision to bring Molly BACK is lying through their teeth. Sis came and she did exactly WHAT???? I’ll tell you absolutely NOTHING she’s wasting another islander’s spot like."

Series two star Kady made an epic return to the villa seven years after her first stint.

She "stole" Zach off of Molly on her first night - but as The Sun revealed she has a secret boyfriend outside the villa who faces jail for money laundering more than £350,000.

Despite going on the ITV show as a single person looking for love, Kady has been dating Liam Greer for more than a year.

She's set to be let down by Zach who has immediately been drawn back to Molly.

She initially gave Zach the cold shoulder but the pair finally locked lips last night.

But the moment did not go down well Love Island viewers who criticised the show's editing, with one claiming: "They’re giving Molly and Zach the winners edit."

A second Love Island fan added: "Can we all collectively dump Molly & Zach in the next dumping."

A third frustrated fan even suggested the show has been fixed by saying: "I guess the plan is for Molly & Zach to win?"
