ITV Love Island fans think they spotted 'savage' dig at Billy from show bosses as Gemma warned him to 'get off'

Love Island viewers watched awkward scenes in the Love Island villa as Luca Bish got annoyed with newcomer Billy Brown for flirting with his other half Gemma Owen. As the Islanders tucked into some food in Sunday night's episode (June 10) Billy put his arm around dressage rider Gemma and asked her cheekily: "Can I feed you it? Will I get told off?"

And Gemma told him "yeah so get off me" before twirling away. She then added "mates can't hug." And Billy asked her "so I can't even be near you?" as she pointed out that positioning of bean bags as Luca watched them.

Clearly rattled by what he had seen Luca admitted to his pal Andrew Le Page "I'm losing my mind." Later fans of the ITV2 dating contest were left gobsmacked over dramatic scenes at the firepit as it was announced which couples the public had voted to stay in Mallorca.

Islanders took it in turns to read out the texts announcing who had been saved - and Billy was the one to read out Gemma and Luca's names. Taking to Twitter @kellyagbowu gasped: "Not Billy having to read out 'Gemma & Luca' being safe. #LoveIsland producers are savage."

@DelaneyMaire wondered: "#LoveIsland Billy calling out Luca and Gemma name last night was definitely a set up by the producers." And @Tishrobbins_uk observed: "Not them getting Billy to read Luca and Gemma’s names."

And a similar jaw-dropping moment occurred when Tasha Ghouri announced that her ex Andrew had been saved along with Coco Lodge, who he had canoodled with behind her back while she was away in the neighouring villa Casa Amor during a test of the Love Island relationships.

@_Debzo shouted: "NAHHH PRODUCERS CHILL OUT, MAKING TASHA READ OUT ANDREW AND COCO’S NAME TOO??" And @JessLMas asked: "So on purpose to get Tasha to call out Andrew and Coco’s name."

Tasha is currently with newbie Billy, who she brought back from Casa Amor. But viewers think Billy now has his sights set on Gemma, the daughter of footballing star Michael Owen.

@AFCDavid147 tweeted: "I'm not Luca's biggest fan, but why are people making out that Billy wasn't/isn't quite clearly flirting with Gemma right in front of Luca's face & that Luca has no reason to be annoyed about it?" And @Rubelicious157 said: "100% agree, the fake flirting and disrespectful 'hugging' of Gemma (which she doesn't want) is so cringe."

But @_thisisamina wrote: "Nah this is weird. Why is Gemma now afraid to even stand next to another guy cos she thinks Luca will be upset about it… #Loveisland." And @KellEastCoast said: "Ngl I think Billy & Gemma are a better fit… they’re cute…"
