Gemma Owen has been accused of instigating 'unnecessary trouble' on Love Island with her stirring in the run up to ex Jacques O'Neill's exit from the villa.
On Monday night viewers saw former Islander Adam Collard make a surprise return to the ITV show as the latest bombshell of the new series, wasting no time in making a move on Gemma and Jacques' love interest Paige. Newcastle personal trainer Adam continued to be a big talking point on Tuesday's Love Island, when the boys arrived to find him in the villa.
And with the 26-year-old out of ear shot, Gemma told Jacques that Adam had been slagging him off, calling him "immature," which did not go down well with the rugby player who ranted: "Who the f**k is he?! Just another geezer who's been on the show? You're f**king nothing mate."

Adam then awkwardly went over to chat to Jacques and the other lads, and got the cold shoulder from them, remarking: "Jacques has lost his head. It's warm out here but icy would be an understatement when it comes to the boys. The reaction I got? Not good.
"I think everyone's got their backs up, but I'm going to do what I'm going to do."
In the conversations he had with Gemma and Paige, Adam hinted that some of the lads in the villa would want to capitalise on their Love Island fame when they leave the show, but without singling any of them out and it's the fact that Gemma massively exaggerated things that rubbed many viewers up the wrong way.
Reacting to what they saw on screen, one took to Twitter to blast: "Gemma don’t you try and be sneaky girl you was telling off ekin 2 weeks ago for stirring s**t look at you HYPOCRITE," with another reacting: "Why does Gemma get away with all the s**t stirring she does?"
A third tweeted: "Why is Gemma stirring AGAIN??!!" with another responding: "Gemma KNOWS jacques is a hot head and still told him to cause drama but if someone done this to her she’d be going mental hypocrite."
Hours before Tuesday's episode aired, it was confirmed tha t Jacques had already quit, with a statement from ITV reading: "Jacques has made the decision to leave the Villa. He will explain his reasons to the Islanders during tonight’s episode. We fully support his decision and look forward to seeing what’s next for Jacques."
