ITV's Love Island gets heated as Gemma Owen fumes telling fellow Islander to 'shut up'

As tensions rise in the Mallorcan villa, Monday's episode of Love Island looks set to get even more fraught. Gemma Owen appears to let rip at Ekin-Su.

On Sunday evening (June 26), a teaser clip for the ITV2 show put the two contestants at the heart of a hearted exchange with Dami. The highlight showed Dami saying to Gemma: "Obviously it's not gonna be a nice thing for Luca to hear, 'oh Gemma could have her head turned'."

But it seems that Gemma quickly hit back: "Which it wasn't even said like that or meant like that." Ekin-Su butts in, "Then relax!" and this is where it all seems to kick off.

Gemma Owen, who is the daughter of ex-England striker Michael Owen, says: "You can't drop a bomb and then tell me to ******* relax," she fumes. However, viewers of the clip are left wondering what the 'bomb' actually is.

The 19-year-old continues: "I think that's ******** behaviour. Maybe you should just keep your nose out of other people's business and shut up!"

And the intrigue continues, the Mirror reported. At this point it's unclear if Gemma is talking to Dami or Ekin-Su. Both appear to be in the firing line.

Fans tuning into Sunday night's episode of Aftersun were given a bit more context to the exchange. In a longer clip, viewers watched at the some of the contestants lazed on a large bed in the garden. Dami offered to read Gemma's mind.

Dami said: "You like Luca but you're finding it tough to open up properly." Continued: "It would take a lot for your head to turn but if someone came in that would 100 percent you...."

Ekin-Su joined in and agreed with his take on things. At this point Gemma looked pretty relaxed: "No I don't think you're that far off..." But it seems shortly after that, things took a turn for the worse.

The drama comes after Love Island viewers claimed that Luca is only 'obsessed' with Gemma because he actually knows who her famous dad is. Ikenna revealed on Aftersun that he and the rest of the guys found out about Gemma's famous father on the "second or third day".

"Now we see why Luca is attached to Gemma #LoveISland," one person posted, while another said: "I think we all knew why Luca all of a sudden when googoo gaga over Gemma." A third person tweeted: "everyone knowing who gemma’s dad is after the 3rd day and luca getting really obsessive right after #LoveIsland."

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
