Love Island fans convinced Gemma and Jacques are 'secretly still together'

Love Island fans are predicting Gemma Owen and ex-boyfriend Jacques O'Neill could actually still be dating in secret, amid her pairing up with Luca Bish.

Gemma made quite the blunder following his arrival, and in scenes on Tuesday night she left Luca furious.

She accidentally called Luca 'Jacques', and it was picked up on by several of her co-stars including Luca, and Paige Thorne who is currently pared up with the newcomer.

Viewers tuning in questioned whether this was a sign that she wasn't over her ex, or perhaps they were secretly still dating outside of the show.

While the pair have had a chat or two in recent scenes, Gemma has insisted that while she still fancies him she doesn't plan to go back there.

Gemma told the girls she wasn't bothered at all about them getting to know him, despite the odd flirting between them.

But viewers have suspected that the pair are interested in getting to know each other again, with some even believing the reason they are so chilled out about their reunion is because they might even be together.

While this doesn't seem to be the case, as Gemma is with Luca and contestants aren't allowed to be in relationships, fans couldn't help but speculate.

Others were convinced the pair were bound to get together during the show.

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "I'm predicting that Gemma and her ex are secretly still together."

Another said: "What if Gemma & Jacques are secretly together outside the show & thats why she didn’t seem that bothered about him coming in & she’s gave nothing to any of the lads/ seems boring?"

A third fan commented in response to another tweet: "Ooo, I think you might be right. I thought she was just socially awkward or shy, but calling Luca by her ex’s name is fishy."

Back to the blunder, and Luca seemed to be giving Gemma a back massage, as they got cosy after the first dumping of the series and the departure of Afia Tonkmor.

He then began pulling her into his chest quite forcefully, leading her to tell him to stop.

It's then that Gemma went to call him by her ex's name before stopping herself, as everyone looked stunned, and it was quickly brought up by others.

As Gemma went to speak to Luca about it, things got heated as Luca made his annoyance clear by rolling his eyes as she went to defend herself.

He said: "You just called me Jacques and then you two are inside together. Why would that not be weird?"

She replied: "I am not..." before stopping, as the camera showed Luca rolling his eyes, clearly annoyed.

She then shouted back: "Don't roll your eyes at me you p***k, it's a genuine mistake. I'm sorry, there's nothing more to it."

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
