On the show, the pair came to blows following Casa Amor.

Meanwhile, Faye also lost her temper after being voted the least compatible couple by her fellow Islanders.

However, the reality star is yet to watch the moments back herself.

I’m embarrassed, I’ve apologised

Speaking to Christine, Faye admitted: “I actually haven’t watched it back. We were living it, we were in the moment, we know exactly what happened.

“Obviously it’s not nice, it’s not nice for anyone to see. I’m embarrassed, I’ve apologised – I’ve apologised on more than one occasion.”

She added: “We’re over it now as a couple, it made us stronger and we’re just looking forward to the future. It’s such shame it’s been such a big part of the show.”

Commenting on the complaints, ITV’s Director of Television, Kevin Lygo, said: “I’m not so much worried about how many complain as what they are complaining about.

“The ratings go up when there is a bit of conflict and it is an area where you have to take a bit of editorial judgment.”

He continued: “I think generally speaking they get the tone right, people do shout at other people, as long as it’s not physically threatening, it’s not too inflammatory, it’s okay. But for some people, it might have stepped too far.”
