Love Island star Gemma Owen has sparked greater speculation of a feud with Paige Thorne after fans questioned if she was throwing shade at the paramedic in a recent Q and A.
Rumours first started the pair weren't fans of each other after Paige failed to mention the horse rider in a list of closest pals, and more recently took a shot of alcohol to dodge a question if she liked Gemma the least.
And now Gemma, who met her boyfriend Luca Bish on Love Island took to her YouTube vlog to answer fans' questions.
She also discussed the women throwing shade at each other outside the villa.
Gemma explained: "My opinion on this is I don't really get it to be honest. You know especially on social media I don't see why other girls or anyone they'd feel the need to put someone else down to make themselves feel or look better.
"I've never got it or understood it. Especially in this industry, especially on social media people would prefer to say something negative than something nice. It's quite messed up."
She also named who she was closest to, saying: "Out of the girls, all of the girls I was in the final with I was close with. I got on with Tash and Ekin. All of the girls, really. The final girls. Antigoni as well."
It comes after fans noticed Paige 'snubbed' Gemma during an Instagram Live Q&A with fans earlier this month.
One user asked who she still talked to from the villa and she answered: "All of them mostly!
"Have to remember everyone's super busy atm but I'm in touch with these guys the most."
She then wrote the Instagram handles of Antigoni Buxton, Tasha Ghouri, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope.
Paige also recently appeared on the Saving Grace Podcast where she was asked who she was least close to.
"Who do you think it is?" the paramedic asked.
Podcast host Grace Keeling asked her: "Is it Gemma? Because most of the cast aren’t associated with Gemma and Luca anymore?"
She didn't deny the assumptions but added: "Let's get the tea."
In the same chat, Paige claimed that one of the Love Island couples have been faking their relationship.

Paige, 24, replied: "All I'm going to say on this right is there are how many couples left? Three. Three couples left - really there are only two. But that's a secret I'll never tell!"
Fans were confused as there are actually four couples left from the villa.
Earlier this month, Gemma revealed she and Luca are so 'happy' together despite living apart.
The star lives with her family in Cheshire while the fishmonger is based in Brighton.
She explained: “We’re living separately, but it’s fine.
“Whenever we’re free, he’ll either come up to Cheshire or I’ll go down to Brighton.”
