Love Island star Gemma Owen's family have responded to accusations she's pretending to like Luca Bish.
The contestant was coupled up with the fishmonger until new bombshell Danica Taylor chose to couple up with him on Sunday.
Many fans thought Gemma wanted a 'breather' from the smitten fishmonger as she previously confronted him over their relationship 'moving too fast'.
Last night, her family took to her Instagram Stories to take part in a Q&A with fans.
One user posted about her intentions with Luca, asking: "Do you think she's being her true self with Luca?"
"Gemma is always 100% her true self," they began.
"Whether it's in Love Island or at home. She seems to have such a genuine connection with Luca.
"We are so proud of her and we are loving watching her journey in the Villa so far."
After watching the recoupling, fans cast doubt on Gemma and Luca's time together as a couple after she talked to him about their relationship "moving too fast''.
Others also questioned whether he was 'controlling' with the 19-year-old, leaving her feeling she needed time apart from him.
When choosing a boy, Danica told viewers: "I’ve decided to couple up with this boy.
"I’ve not been here 24 hrs so it is a weird situation to be in, and I’ve barely got to know any of you.
“You’re all lovely boys but I didn’t come here to play it safe. I can only follow my heart, I can only go on face value.
“Someone that is my type. And I need to explore that unfortunately, so I’m going to have to follow my heart on that one.
