Love Island Gemma’s sassy snub to Jacques proves she’s no threat to Paige, expert claims

Things got awkward in a big way earlier this week on Love Island when exes Gemma and Jacques were revealed to have raised each others' heart rates the most with their sexy dances.

Jacques' current partner Paige was none too impressed, and instead of reassuring her, rugby player Jacques admitted he was still having lusty thoughts for his ex!

However, there's good news in store for Paige according to a body language expert, who says that despite chemistry between Gemma and Jacques, she's subtly made it quite clear that there's no going back - with one sassy snub in particular.

Speaking to The Mirror on behalf of Slingo, Darren Stanton explained: "Trust is a big thing for Gemma and the fundamental reason why she has no desire to get back together with Jacques, despite some level of attraction still remaining there.

"While they are the closest to each other physically in the villa, it's not congruent with their emotional connection and right now, there isn't too much for the couple to build on in terms of rekindling things.

"There isn't any obvious reciprocal liking between them, like wanting to be in close proximity to each other and prolonged eye contact, and you could see Gemma was irked when Jacques was discussing the pair's former relationship with Gemma's current partner Luca.

"She was closed off during their confrontation, wrapping her arms around her to form a barrier between herself and Jacques, and their eye contact was minimal with Gemma choosing not to look in Jacques' direction."

Darren believes that the sexy dance competition brought out a side of the pair that hasn't been seen before in the villa - reigniting feelings of lust. But without an emotional pull, he believes there's no chance of a reunion.

He added: "Jacques and Gemma during the heart rate challenge knew how to press each other's buttons. While Gemma loved the power of being in control and seeing Jacques' reaction, it was clear from his body language that feelings of lust towards Gemma resurfaced.

"It was obvious to see that the pair share a history and we saw signs that the pair are still very much attracted together - however, this isn't consistent with their usual behaviour in the villa where there is both a physical and emotional distance usually present between them."
