Love Island lie detector could be BANNED by Ofcom as the show raises 'alarm bells'

following the Jeremy Kyle death controversy.

Each series the ITV2 show features a hugely popular episode which sees the contestants wired up to a polygraph while answering probing questions from the person they are coupled up with.

Following 63-year-old Steve Dymond's death, a TV spokesperson told us: "The lie detector episode is everyone’s favourite but it does cause some serious arguments between couples. "Love Island is already under scrutiny following the tragic deaths of two past contestants so producers will be keen to avoid any further issues.

"Some viewers are calling for the show to be axed so it looks likely they’ll get rid of the lie detector to keep people happy."
