Ollie faced a lot of backlash in the villa after photos emerged of him posing next to dead animals.
He also received a lot of hate for branding himself, "wealthy," in his Love Island VT.
According to The Sun, Ofcom were hit with 500 complaints about the Islander.
Ollie opens up in an interview with The Sun this week.
He tells them, 'Looking at the stories coming out about me and all the complaints ITV were getting I think they portrayed me as a grumpy snob on purpose - I think I would have been the first person voted off.'

Ollie goes on, 'When I came out and saw the way that I was portrayed - this grumpy, moody bloke I was so shocked as that wasn’t who I was.'
He insists he was, 'having an absolute ball the whole time. It was a complete misrepresentation of who I was in there.'
'From watching it my parents were worried that I was depressed.'
The Love Island VT
In his Love Island VT, Ollie reveals he's heir to the Lanhydrock estate.
He claims show bosses made him say that, 'I would never introduce myself as that.'
'They treat you like a rock star and it was a fun day. But they completely character assassinated me from day dot.'
During a challenge on the show, it was revealed that he had once cheated on his ex nine times.
Ollie defended himself by claiming it was a very toxic relationship and he hasn't cheated since.
However, the girls were less than impressed with Sophie remarking, "Break up with her instead of cheating bro."
Ollie claims this revelation was completely untrue and he has no idea where they got their information.
'I was absolutely vilified in one game where it was claimed I cheated on an ex nine times.'
'I don’t know where they got that from, it’s not true.'

He says the challenge made him question the integrity of show bosses.
'I thought if they could do that, what else could they be doing behind my back.'
'I started to feel a bit paranoid at that point.'
Meanwhile, current contestant Mike Boateng is reportedly under investigation by the police force.
It's after he allegedly approached a teenage girl in uniform.
