Love Island's Gemma and Jacques 'age gap' sparks reaction from viewers

A week after viewers raised concerns about the age difference between her and Davide Sanclimenti, Germma Owen is at the centre of another Love Island age gap 'issue' concerning her and ex Jacques O'Neill.

Gemma, daughter of football legend Michael Owen, was born in May 2003, making her just 19., so a few eyebrows were raised when she had her head turned at the end of her first night in the villa by Italian Davide, who, at 27,. is eight years her senior. Some fans claimed they were so uncomfortable about that age gap that they were ready 'to call Ofcom,' should the relationship develop any further.

A few days later, Gemma and Davide ceased to be an item after she was chosen by Luca Bish to couple up with him, with Davide now paired with bombshell Ekin-Su after she pursued him. There was another twist in the week one tail for Gemma on Sunday night when her ex Jacques went into the villa, dating two of the other girls right in front of her face.
