Love Island's Gemma and Davide address 'age gap' after viewer concerns

Gemma Owen and Davide Sanclimenti addressed the age gap between them on Thursday' Love Island, after some concerned viewers threatened to contact Ofcom.

Gemma, the daughter of football legend Michael Owen, has only just turned 19, having been born in May 2003, while Italian late arrival to the Love Island villa Davide, is 27. Viewers first declared they felt uncomfortable about the two growing close after Gemma kissed Davide in a drinking game on their first night in the show.

One took to Twitter to react: “I’m sorry but how old is Davide, because if he’s over 25 and he ends up with Gemma, i’m definitely complaining with OFCOM," with another tweeting: "if gemma and davide end up together the ofcom complaints are gunna be WILD it’s just so wrong."
