Love Island viewers are all saying the same thing about newest coupling on show

Love Island viewers were less than impressed with the choice of coupling on the ITV2 dating show on Tuesday night, as newcomer Davide made his final decision.

At the start of the episode, daughter of footballer Michael Owen, Gemma, struck up a conversation with newcomer Davide, and she confessed she was 'blown away' by the Italian.

Initial couple to Gemma, Liam, said he was feeling concerned that Davide had been "eyeing up" Gemma since he came in - and his fears became a reality as Davide selected the 19-year-old at the end of the show.

However, viewers slammed the decision due to the hefty age gap between the new couple - as Davide is 27-years-old, meaning he is eight years older than Gemma.

Fans flocked to social media to have their voices heard on the recoupling, as one Twitter user wrote: "Wasting my revision time to see a child get with an Adult #LoveIsland"

Another said: "Davide gives me the ick bad #LoveIsland"

And a third wrote: "Me on my way to phone social services when Davide picked Gemma #LoveIsland"

A fifth commented: "when davide was 16 she was 8 just think about that #LoveIsland"

More tweets read: "noncery aside, davides attitude stinks. he knows he’s got all the guys uncomfortable and all the girls in competition."

And Gemma was still garnering negative attention from the viewers, as one Twitter user said: "gemma has negative game #LoveIsland"

Another wrote: "I don’t like Gemma Owens she snobby and thinks she special because she can make horses gallop #LoveIsland"

But one person stuck up for the teenager, writing: "i watched love island late expecting Gemma to be the most annoying human on earth but she’s literally not even bad everyone’s so overdramatic #LoveIsland"

Love Island resumes on Wednesday, June 8 at 9pm on ITV2.
