Love Island's Gemma Owen divides fans with sexy dance challenge as she's only 19

Love Island fans took to social media to voice their opinions after Friday night’s sexy dance challenge.

The girls each took it in turns to dance in a swimming pool, round a pole and pick which man was their ‘catch of the day’.

It was down to the boys to then decide who they thought was the sexiest dancer and who had won the challenge.

But when it came to Gemma Owen’s turn – who at 19 is the youngest contestant on this year’s show – some viewers complained it made them uncomfortable to watch.

One tweeted: “Pls Gemma in today’s challenge made me so uncomfy she’s 19!!!”

“Gemma should have sat out that challenge #LoveIsland,” another said.

“Producers probably told Gemma to tone it down a notch for that challenge due to her age #LoveIsland,” a third chimed in.

A fourth wrote: “Seeing Gemma on a show like this is so uncomfortable to me bc she’s 2 years younger than me and it’s so weird... I still think it should be 21+."

“Lol Gemma is a baby lol I knew we wasn’t going to really see much from the task #LoveIsland,” a fifth commented.

But others praised the teenager, who is currently coupled up with Luca Bish, for spanking the fishmonger with a fish.

“Gemma spanking Luca with a fish maybe she won some points with me there #LoveIsland,” one fan wrote.

“Gemma is actually iconic, making Luca go on all fours, slapping his ass with the fish. Our DOM queen. I LOVE HER!!!! #LoveIsland,” tweeted another.

“LOOOOOOL you know what, Gemma just got a point from me for that move #LoveIsland,” said a third.

While Luca looked to be having a whale of a time, he gave his thoughts on the spanking in the Beach Hut afterwards.

“Listen, that will be the first time and the last time Gemma’s bending me over and hitting me with a fish in the pollocks, do you know what I mean,” he said laughing.

Although Luca seems smitten with Gemma, new girl Danica could be about to throw a spanner in the works.

When she entered the villa on Friday night, the dancer told the girls her usual type was Luca or Jacques.

Luca was then heard saying he wanted to “rip Danica’s clothes off” later in the show, suggesting the feeling could be mutual.

Viewers will have to wait until Sunday night to see which boy Danica will pick to couple up with. She is the first of the girls to pick a boy in a surprise recoupling.

So will Gemma and Luca stay together? Or will Danica steal him away?

*Love Island continues on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2
