Love Island's Gemma Owen has viewers predicting 'heartache' for Luca Bish as bookies think the same

Love Island viewers are confident that there will be 'trouble' ahead for Gemma Owen and Luca Bish's relationship after seeing a teaser that aired at the end of Monday's episode, with bookies confident she'll soon ditch him for another guy.

The new series of the hit ITV2 show is now three weeks old and many fans are declaring it the 'best one in a while,' with plenty of drama so far. and many people think there's more in store after a clip that appeared on screen last night.

The 'heart rate' challenge, as all Love Island viewers now, can always be relied onto stir things up and, the first look of Tuesday's episode points to the fact that it's back for 2022 as narrator Iain Stirling said that 'the temperature was rising in the villa.'

The challenge involves each Islander wearing a monitor to see how their heart rate reacts to being given a raunchy dance by each boy and girl and plenty of Love Island fans are convinced that Gemma's pulse will be sent racing by ex Jacques O'Neill, given the tension brewing between Michael Owen's daughter and Luca at the moment.

As soon as they saw the teaser on what was to come on Tuesday night, one viewer took to Twitter to post: "when jacques’ heart rate is highest for gemma and vice versa… i can’t wait to watch luca’s reaction as his world implodes."

In firm agreement, another fan responded: "Ooooh it’s gunna kick right off if gem’s heart rate goes up more for Jacques than it does Luca," with a third speculating: "Luca is gonna be FUMING if Gemma's heart rate isn't beating the most for him tonight."

As well as viewers casting doubts on Gemma and Luca's future together, bookies are now becoming more confident a split is on the cards, with Betfair having Gemma on odds of 6/4 to dump him and recouple with another boy.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “It’s heating up in the villa and tensions are running high between some of the couples, including Gemma and Luca following Gemma’s revelations that she could have her head turned, something we make 6/4 to happen and for her to recouple with someone else at any point this series.

Those who remember the one and only Winter Love Island to date, know that the heart rate challenge led to the arrival of bombshell Rebecca Gormley, the former Miss Newcastle winner who made an immediate impact and, as well as predicting and hoping for some drama between Gemma and Luca, others are sure there'll be a surprise new arrival at the end of the challenge.
