Love Island's Gemma Owen could face two ex-boyfriends as mystery arrival rumoured

Gemma Owen may need to steel herself against a second shock arrival amid unconfirmed rumours of another ex-boyfriend appearing on Love Island.

The 19-year-old daughter of football legend Michael Owen is already set to see her ex rugby player Jacques O'Neill.

The rugby player was teased as the show's next arrival ahead of the next episode that captured Gemma gasp and say, "That's my ex!"

The Love Islander could be in for another surprise as reports have suggested Jacques isn't the only former boyfriend expected to walk through the famous house doors, the Mirror reported.

Gemma previously dated Wrexham footballer Cameron Green who is said to be 'waiting in the sidelines' to appear, according to The Sun on Sunday.

Cameron, 23, was close to Gemma and her family – even appearing in social media posts shared by Gemma's dad, Michael.

A friend of the TV star said: "Her family really liked him, especially as he was a sporty, hard-working footballer.

"His entry into the villa later in the season could tug on her heart strings.

"He and Gemma have a great connection, and they look great together."

An ITV spokesperson told the publication that Gemma and Cameron knew each other before entering the villa, saying: "Gemma and Cam are friends."

However, it is not yet known whether Cameron will be joining her in the famous villa.

The addition of Jacques to the villa is sure to add extra spice to the current eighth season of Love Island due to the Ex on the Beach style twist.

Jacques has already hinted he hopes to win back the swimwear designer by taking part in the show.

Asked why he was joining the series, the professional rugby league player said: "I split up with my ex and then I was seeing someone else."

Jacques, who has been hampered by a hamstring injury, added: "I was concentrating so much on my rugby career and then I had that injury.

"I think it needs to be the right person, at the right time. But I was saying to my mum the other day that I want a girl. And I'm now ready to settle down."

Gemma has proven to be a hit both in and out of the Love Island villa as she has become a favourite with viewers and has been lusted after by a number of male contestants.

She has re-coupled with Luca Bish while in the villa, but has also drawn the attention of Italian hunk Davide Sanclimenti.

Meanwhile, Gemma's famous father has shared his thoughts on seeing his daughter share a bed with relative strangers while on the show.

He told the Daily Mail: "Luckily for me there was no physical contact. Gemma had her back to the guy.

"There was space between them. I thought, 'Good girl'. No father wants to see physical contact do they? I certainly don't. If there is physical contact I think I'll be throwing something at the screen. I don't want to see kissing. Do not make me see kissing!"

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 and via the ITV Hub at 9pm
