Gemma had a frank and honest chat with Luca, that saw her trying to clear the air and dispel tension on tonight's Love Island episode. Pulling Luca for a chat, Gemma told Luca she had been off with him for the past day.
Gemma blamed feeling under pressure for her behaviour and said she felt they'd been 'married off'. However, fishmonger Luca made a savage dig and suggested Gemma was only feeling that way because she 'wasn't getting attention' and hadn't been asked on dates by the new boys.
Newcomers Jay Younger and Remi Lambert have not made a beeline for Michael Owen's daughter who had been the toast of the show for the first week. At one point the show was slammed as 'Gemma Island' by fans as she had become the focus of so many people's attention.

Gemma pulled Luca aside and said: “You’ve probably noticed I am being a little bit off the last day. What initially attracted me to you is that you didn’t give a sh*t.
"But I’ve seen a different side to you, which I do like but I don’t want to feel that’s us two married off now and that’s it.” Luca, a hot favourite on the hit dating show replied: “Why are we married off? Because two new boys come in and no one's giving you attention?"
Appearing to mull Gemma's comments over, he said thoughtfully: “Listen we both like each other. "We will see how it goes.”
Earlier in the show, Ekin-Su tried to give friendly advice to Luca. She pulled him aside and gave him the heads-up about Gemma feeling a little pressurised.
Her advice didn't go down well, because Luca went on to say in private, that he didn't need to be treated like a kid.
Viewers were quick to react on social media.

@Jyojo_B said: "Lol love that Luca called out Gemma so perfectly at her being mardy about the fact the other boys ignored her. She is not used to being overlooked."
