Gemma Owen and Davide Sanclimenti finally addressed their age gap on Love Island tonight.
The pair coupled up two days into the show when Davide picked Gemma to be his partner, leaving Liam Llewellyn single. As he moved on with the two new bombshells, Davide also took a shine to one of them - Ekin-Su.
During tonight's show, as Davide made his feelings about Ekin-Su clear by flirting with the actress in front of Gemma, and joining her for a workout session in the villa gym, Gemma called him for a chat to discuss them and how he thought it was going.
In the chat, the pair discussed their age gap - which has had fans expressing their concern over the eight years between the pair.
"How are you feeling about the fact I'm much older than you?" Davide asked, "I mean you are not bothered by that?"
Gemma said she was fine about it, adding: "It's not an issue for me at all. I feel like if it was, I wouldn't have wanted to get to know you in the first place. And as I've said, I've been speaking to guys and seeing guys who are much older than me.
"It's not something that I'm not used to or you're the only one or anything like that. It's very normal for me, so for me it's not an issue but I feel like for you, is it an issue?"
Davide then said: "No for me it's not an issue. I actually say sometimes you are much older than me."
Fans have been taking to Twitter during the show to express their concern over the age gap, whilst others have backed it - and have shared their own personal experiences about that age difference.
"gemma said she's used to these types of age gaps ...... #LoveIsland," one fan wrote, as a second added: "somethings telling someone told them two talk about their age gap #LoveIsland."
A third wrote: "So tired of everyone banging on about the age gap between Gemma and Davide. If they like each other what’s the issue #LoveIsland," as a fourth added: "why does their age gap not bother them #LoveIsland."
Gemma has been growing increasingly concerned over Davide, as he flirts with Ekin-Su, and she has now set her sights on getting to know Luca Bish more as she plans to play the field.
