ITV GMB's Susanna Reid digs at Gemma Owen's Love Island appearance as fans share complaint

Susanna Reid had a little bit of Love Island shade to share this morning as she returned to Good Morning Britain. The presenter was back hosting the show on Monday (June 13) alongside Richard Madeley.

And as ever, they were joined live in the studio by Richard Arnold to chat through the latest entertainment news, including the star-studded Soccer Aid match on Sunday as well as the latest episode of the ITV2 dating show.

But it appears Susanna, 51, shared the same complaint as viewers as Richard rattled through the latest goings-on in the famous villa - which has included a recoupling and the introduction of Gemma Owen's ex-boyfriend, Jacques O'Neill, since Richard was last on hand to discuss the drama on Friday morning.

Addressing rumours that another of Gemma's ex's is due to be heading in to the Mallorcan villa, Richard said: "It was reported over the weekend that another one of Gemma's exes, Wrexham footballer Cameron Green, is waiting to appear." He went on: "A source said he [Michael Owen] really liked him and he even appeared in a social media post shared by Michael.

"But the question on everyone's lips is, 'When will the Islanders find out that Michael Owen is actually her dad?! When will Jacques let it slip? The action continues tonight."

Susanna then asked the entertainment editor: "Is it Love Island or Gemma Owen Island?" to which Richard replied: "I think it's Gemma Owen Island." Susanna then said: "Poor Gemma, she's at the heart of every single story so far."

Richard quipped: "Ekin Su is coming up the rear with Davide!" before they moved on with the show. But Susanna isn't on her own. Fans of the hit dating show have been complaining that some of the islanders haven't been getting enough air time. They have previous complained that Amber Beckford, Dami Hope, Indiyah Polack, Ikenna Ekwonna and Paige Thorne appear to be 'missing' from the programme.

@thisisedel_xo tweeted: "Can someone boot Gemma and Jacques off the island, so they can get on with their lives outside the villa and just let the rest of the contestants get their air time and find true love #LoveIsland." @144733sdghb commented: "Nah cos who’s letting gemma have this much air time? I just want to talk.. #LoveIsland."

@Dominique19987 wrote: "Love island has really giving 47 minutes of air time to Gemma kmt #LoveIsland." @zaralinaaa begged: "Stop giving Gemma air time! I’m tired! #LoveIsland." @Kirstyy66550585 added: "So just saw that there might be another one of gemma's ex this is not gemma owens island if it is people should just stop watching. And stop giving her the most air time when theres over people in the villa #LoveIsland."
