Love Island's Jacques O'Neill reveals what it was like dating Gemma Owen

Love Island fans will see Jacques O'Neill spill the beans on what it was like dating Gemma Owen before they entered the villa.

Gemma's ex entered Love Island as a bombshell, with the pair having dated for eight months before splitting at the beginning of 2021. Luca, who is currently coupled up with Michael Owen's daughter, will ask Jacques what their relationship was like in tonight's episode.

The show will also feature the heart-rate challenge, with contestants dressing to thrill. The trial will see the islanders try and raise each others’ heart rates the most.

Speaking about the night, Gemma says: “If Luca’s heart rate isn’t raised the most by me, as much as it’s a game - I’ll be fuming.” Islanders saucy outfits include Paige as a lifeguard, Ekin-Su in a bridal outfit, Dami as a lab technician, Jay as a cowboy and Davide as a mysterious masked bandit.

Part of the episode will see Luca quiz Jacques about his past with Gemma and what they were like together. And Jacques is brutally honest.

Jacques says: “I’d much rather be with Paige than Gem. Like 1000%. Like I could literally go out with Paige, be myself and the next day wake up and have no issues, at all. Even if I’d said something wrong, or anything. But if I did that with Gem I’ve got questions to answer the next day.”

Later Gemma learns of the conversation. But what will she think of her ex discussing their relationship with her new man?
