Fans feared that it was curtains for one of the show's most popular couples as they tuned into Friday night's Love Island. During the long-awaited Movie Night incriminating clips were screened of unseen moments in the famous TV villa.
Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, who appeared to be one of the strongest couples on the ITV dating show, were rocked as the boys' team chose to view a clip entitled She's Just Not That Into You after getting a quiz question correct. Their movie featured two clips of Gemma.
The first uncomfortable clip, captured from a chat last month, showed her agreeing with Dami Hope's 'prediction' that her head could still be turned by someone else if they were the right person. The second showed Billy Brown slinging his arm around her while Luca watched on from a beanbag.

Gemma told Billy "friends can't hug" as he asked if he could feed her, and she warningly pointed out the positioning of the bean bag. After viewing the clip Luca was left upset by the cheeky chat and fumed at Billy: "You were f***ing cracking on with her. Mate, that was f***ing flirting, don't deny it."
As Billy tried to deny it, Luca hit back: "I don't care, you can crack on, it's Love Island but it was flirting and I was made out to be a f***ing idiot for it!" Turning to pals Dami and Andrew Le Page, Luca whispered: "I can't stand f***ing liars. I got made out to be overprotective or whatever, mate I saw you crack on."
Viewers were left on a cliffhanger waiting until tonight's episode (Sunday July 17) to find out what happens next. And first look spoilers reveal that fishmonger Luca, 23, confronts dressage rider Gemma, 19, by the fire pit after viewing a second flirty moment with 23-year-old roofing company director Billy.
During a clip entitled ‘Good Bill Hunting’ Luca sees Billy and Gemma chatting in the villa. Later that evening after the films have aired, Luca pulls Gemma for a chat and says "you were entertaining it" to which Gemma replies "no I wasn’t."
Luca then calls Billy over to the fire pit to join them and asks "did you feel like she was flirting with you?" and Billy answers "yeah, it was just flirty banter.” Gemma interjects “Did we have a flirty chat? Yes.”
But Luca replies: “But just a minute ago you said you didn’t have a flirty chat, you literally said I wasn’t flirting.” As the conversation continues Gemma insists: “I don’t think any lines have been crossed.” Having recently declared their love for each other, fans will be left wondering if the pair can move on from this.
As Gemma's Instagram followers were asked what they thought of Movie Night part one fans flocked to defend her. janetteduffy2018 said: "The bean bag comment was literally the only comment she has made about Luca all series and they used it against her."
annie_danielli said about her time away in Casa Amor where she stayed loyal to Luca: "They should have played Gemma’s reaction to his packing or her sleeping in his hoody every night." And gaffneygirls asked: "What did she actually do? She couldn’t be anymore loyal!! Poor Gem!"
444.kelseyx commented: "I don’t think Luca is mad at Gem I think he’s mad at Billy because he knows their situation." charlottemelloe said: "Luca needs to remember HE LOVES HER as he only just told her yesterday and that SHE LOVES HIM BACK. V simple." And x0.lauraaaa defended: "She has done nothing wrong! She’s already shut the Billy thing down and talked about it with Luca. If that’s the worst they’ve got on her then she can sit back and enjoy the rest of the drama."
But gardner.a.m said: "Gemma should definitely apologize to Luca for lying that Billy didn’t try to flirt with her and reassure him. We knew about it but now that’s he’s seeing the truth…I know it hurt his feelings and he feels embarrassed……I don’t want them to break up though because I’m honestly watching this show because of them." And ttvmadistan said: "I really hope they don’t split up cause I think we can all see they have something special."
