Love Island 'Gemma's sneaky sign she always planned to betray Paige' - expert

Despite the fact that Paige Thorne is coupled with Gemma Owen's ex on Love Island, the two girls have been firm friends since day dot.

They formed a cute little foursome with Gemma's partner Luca Bish, and Paige's Jacques O'Neill, who have also become best mates.

But their cosy set-up came crashing down last night when Gemma betrayed Paige and blabbed all to the boys about a controversial conversation between Paige and bombshell Adam Collard.

In a bid to lure Paige away from rugby star Jacques, Adam was seen hinting to Paige that Jacques might struggle to stay faithful on the outside once he comes face-to-face with hoards of female fans.

“I’ve been there and done it – I don’t need to get that out my system like some guys would do,” he told the Welsh paramedic.

Swearing Gemma to secrecy, Paige relayed the conversation, insisting: “Right, and this goes nowhere, I swear to God, if any of you bitches tell any of your guys, there’ll be world war three."

But Gemma went back on her word, telling Jacques that Adam was "proper slagging you off", prompting the furious star to rage: “Who the f** is he? Just another geezer that’s been on this show, he’s f***ing nothing, mate.”

Jacques has since quit the villa and is expected to explain his decision on tonight's show.

And speaking to The Mirror on behalf of Slingo, body language expert Darren Stanton says Gemma's gestures suggest she never had any intention of honouring the pact.

He said: "As Paige was talking to the girls about her chat with Adam, Gemma seemed quite opinionated and seemed quite forceful when telling Paige what to do and how she should feel, more so than the rest of the girls - which could have put doubts into Paige's mind about Jacques.

"Instead of adopting an empathetic position, Gemma made a throwaway gesture with her hand as she was speaking and we saw a slight smirk as Paige sought reassurement from the girls that their conversation would go no further."

*Love Island airs tonight on ITV2 at 9pm
