Love Island chiefs will “sit down and review” the show after it ends on Monday.
ITV boss Kevin Lygo has said the broadcaster will take stock and decide on the future following a barrage of viewer complaints to Ofcom about the latest season.
The ITV2 dating show has received more than 5,000 complaints to the broadcasting watchdog in the past two weeks.
Many viewers have flooded Ofcom to raise concerns about alleged misogynistic behaviour by some of the male contestants.
However, Mr Lygo, managing director of ITV Studios, stressed they were “very happy with the way it has gone so far”, as reports the Mirror.
During a media briefing for ITV’s interim financial results, Mr Lygo was asked about the volume of complaints and whether there would be an editorial review.
He said: “We continually assess a programme as it is going on because it is one of these odd every night live sort of shows.
“But when the series comes to an end on Monday, we will always sit down and review what we think about it, what the reaction has been, how well it has done.
“And we have to say this year, remember, it is the best one we have had in many years and I think everyone is thoroughly enjoying it.
“To get five million people to watch a show every night at 9 o’clock is extraordinary in the modern era, so something is being done right.
“But you are right, we must always look to improve and work on what we have done. But we are very happy with the way it has gone so far.”
Ofcom is assessing the complaints against its broadcasting rules, but is yet to decide whether to investigate.
In May 2019, a new set of duty of care processes was released by the network ahead of the fifth series, which was later won by Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea.

Love Island fans were left fuming during Sunday night’s highly anticipated Reunion show, after a TV glitch obliterated the aspect ratio for several viewers trying to tune in to the show. The problems first started to occur at around 9:30pm, when viewers tuning in to ITV2 to watch the Islanders reunite for the first time since leaving the villa, saw that the aspect ratio had abruptly shifted to a 4:3 ratio.The jarring shift to a square screen left many fans puzzled as to the cause, while several even joked it was harkening back to the 90’s as they were left trying to watch the show in a distracting format.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti crowned winners (and worthy winners they were) in the Love Island 2022 final, with many of this year’s Islanders reuniting to watch the show at a glitzy viewing party.Among those in attendance were two bombshells who we did NOT expect to see together any time soon. The Casa Amor girls posed for a picture, which was posted to Instagram by Chyna Mills, and standing next to each other were Coco Lodge and Jazmine Nichol, which we found strange considering they exposed their secret feud after leaving the villa.Jazmine spilled the beans on a secret unaired argument with Coco following her kiss with Andrew Le Page, while Coco made a number of shady comments seemingly aimed at Jazmine which suggested the whole thing was blown out proportion.Nevertheless, the pair seemed to have put their differences aside – at least for the night – as they celebrated the end of the series.Jazmine and Coco’s feud first came to light when the Geordie beauty queen had revealed she’d also been getting to know Andrew in the villa and was left blindsided when he and Coco kissed.“Coco, the girl I was closest to and had talked to about Andrew, went up to the terrace and kissed him.
Love Island fans were left fuming after Laura Whitmore 'ruined' the big finale for them last night. The host revealed that whatever couple won, they would split the £50,000 cash prize within seconds of the hit ITV show starting.
Many Love Island fans shared their thoughts on Sunday nights' final dumping before the finale, which saw Paige and Adam pack up their suitcases and leave the villa. VIewers were quick to point out they were happy with the decision, after the couples were tasked with choosing the two least compatible pairs.

Love Island might be known for its romance and drama, but the hit ITV2 show isn’t complete without its challenges, which have turned out to be equally sweet but savage. And one challenge that goes down a treat with viewers every year is the baby challenge, which sees the Islanders take care of a baby doll for a day to find out how they’d cope as parents in the real world. Throughout the years, the iconic baby challenge has brought some memorable moments throughout the years including Chris Hughes’ unbreakable bond with ‘son’ Cash Hughes and this year’s Davide Sanclimenti ingenious idea to give his baby Irene a makeover.
The epic dates Love Island has to offer every year lived up to their expectations as Paige Thorne and Adam Collard, Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, and Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Culculoglu were the first to head out the villa for the last time before the grand final.
Fans of Love Island were left distracted on Thursday night's episode of the show, after noticing an unfortunate "stain" on Paige Thorne's dress. The 23 year old paramedic from Swansea was going on a date with her partner Adam Collard, 26, and she could be seen rushing upstairs to get ready, donning a light blue bodycon dress and blowdrying her hair.
Love Island is almost at an end for 2022 and in the final days before this year’s winners are announced, there have been plenty of much awaited moments including a memorable talent show that caused plenty of laughs. On Wednesday night the baby challenge episode finally aired and it came with plenty of memorable moments including doting dad Davide giving his daughter a rather interesting makeover.
