Love Island's Gemma Owen target of Ofcom complaints over Davide 'age gap' kiss

A kiss between Gemma Owen and Davide Sanclimenti has sparked close to 200 of complaints from Love Island viewers, who followed through on their promise to contact Ofcom, after being left uncomfortable by the age gap between the two.

On their first day in the villa, this year's contestants were told that, rather than them choosing for themselves who to couple up with, viewers made the decision for them. Fans decided that, on first impressions, Gemma, 19, was best suited to Welsh masters student Liam Llewelyn, however her head was turned when Davide, the first Love Island bombshell of 2022 gate-crashed the party.

Michael Owen's daughter Gemma made it clear to everyone, particularly Liam, who quit the villa days later, that she was attracted to late arrival Davide, 27 and, made her intentions clear when she decided to kiss him during an ice breaker game. A day later Davide, who described himself as 'an Italian snack,' decided to couple up with Gemma , but many Love Island fans were already claiming that them being together didn't 'sirt right,' with them and threatened to go to Ofcom should things develop further.
