Ex-Love Island contestant Billy Brown has claimed that fellow islander Gemma Owen initiated flirty chats with him while at Casa Amor, saying she had been “let off lightly” by the show’s producers.
Speaking on Roman Kemp’s Capital Breakfast radio show on Tuesday, Billy, 23, told the hosts that Gemma’s first words to him were, “Pull me for a chat if you want.”
“So she initiated it?” asked one of the radio show’s co-hosts, to which he replied, “yeah and then I played hard to get and didn’t even pull her for a chat,” he said laughing.

When asked what viewers had missed, he said, “Just all the flirting, you haven’t seen it all. They’ve let her off lightly.”
When Billy first got to the island, ex-footballer Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma, 19, was already partnered up with Luca Bish, but Brown claims that things would have been different if he had arrived earlier.
Billy was dumped off the ITV2 reality show last week, along with Summer Botwe, when his fellow contestants decided to save Indiyah Polack’s boyfriend Dami Hope instead of the young roofing company director. Altogether, Billy lasted a total of 18 days on the hit show.
Back at Casa Amor, Gemma seems to still have eyes for Luca even though the two have yet to make things official and they’ve already had their fair share of lovers’ spats.
On Wednesday's episode, narrator Iain Sterling poked fun at the pair's turbulent relationship when the islanders received the challenge of taking care of screaming baby dolls.
As they woke to the sound of screaming babies, Sterling quipped, "What's that sound? Don't worry, it's not Gemma and Luca having another row - it's the babies."
Despite their ups and downs though, it looks like Gemma and Luca have managed to make up.
