Love Island came under fire as Davide Sanclimenti and Gemma Owen went on their first date.
Michael Owen's daughter was initially paired with Liam Llelwyn on season eight of the popular dating programme. However, the show was rocked by drama last night when she recoupled with Davide.
The decision was hit by controversy as fans criticised the eight year age gap between Davide, 27, and Gemma, 19. The two received a message in tonight's show to inform them they would be going on their first date.

Davide and Gemma headed to a remote location where they drank lemonade and got to know one another. However, the conversation quickly turned serious as Davide asked Gemma about her family plans.
He said: "Do you want to get married? Have you ever thought about it?” Gemma hit back: “Yeah definitely. I’d like to get married and I want to have kids.”
Gemma confirmed she would like to have four children and Davide revealed he planned to have two. Viewers following the show on Twitter were taken aback by the serious discussion.
Teeks said: "Talking about marriage and kids? But no age exchange? I’m shuddering right now."
Toni added: "This 27 year old man is not discussing marriage and kids with a 19 year old. Christ."
