Love Island finalist Gemma Owen has hit back at bombshell Billy Brown after he suggested he could have won Gemma’s affection over Luca Bish.Billy, who knew Gemma through mutual friends before entering the villa, openly flirted with her when he joined the show in Casa Amor and even after she decided to stay loyal to Luca when they returned to the main villa.Despite Gemma insisting that she never reciprocated Billy’s flirting, he remains confident he could have coupled up with her and recently suggested that Gemma and Luca’s love story might never have happened if he’d entered the villa on day one.During a recent interview, Billy was asked, “If you and Luca went in at the same time, do you think you stood more of a chance against Luca?”, to which he confidently replied, “Oh yeah, game over.”However, Gemma’s scathing response to Billy’s comments suggests he shouldn’t quite be so sure of himself.“What a load of rubbish. Not a chance,” Gemma told Capital FM hosts Rob Howard and Lauren Layfield after perhaps the biggest eyeroll we’ve EVER seen.“Yeah, no, absolutely not,” she added of Billy’s chances of romance.“We got on as mates, but I made that very clear that it was just mates.”Since finishing in second place behind winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, Gemma and Luca have gone on a family holiday with her parents Michael and Louise and siblings James, Emily and Jessica.Speaking about the moment Luca met her dad for the first time, Gemma said, “It couldn’t have gone better, it was so nice.“They all got on really well and how he was with my brother and sisters as well.”While they’re still not officially boyfriend and girlfriend, Gemma also admitted she “definitely” wants to move in with Luca in the future.

A full inquest is to take place into the death of a 20-year-old healthy young man who died of bowel disease just six weeks after his diagnosis.
Former Turton School pupil Cameron “Cam” Duxbury died on October 27, 2020, from ulcerative colitis after undergoing surgery to prolong his life. He had suffered symptoms relating to the bowel condition for several months but did not inform his loved ones.
It was only until Cameron, of Egerton, started drastically losing weight that his parents took him to A&E. They never suspected it would be the last time they would ever see him at home again.

Devastatingly, Cameron lost his battle with ulcerative colitis and passed away with his parents by his side at Royal Bolton Hospital just six weeks after being diagnosed in September 2020. His death has raised questions between his family and the NHS Trust.
At an earlier pre-inquest review at Bolton Coroners Court, Senior Coroner, Timothy Brennand advised to the family: “In the event that you are entirely comforted and the questions you have asked are answered between the trust and yourselves, then this will be a short hearing. If that is not what you feel, then there may be a full inquest.”
At a further pre-inquest review at Bolton Coroners Court today (August 3) Mr Brennand said: "There has been a meeting and all parties are of the view that a full inquest is now inevitable."
Present in court, Cameron's visibly distressed mother Cherise, 47, expressed concerns about the duty of care her son had received in hospital. She said it was her belief he had been failed.
She said: "There was a duty of care for Cameron when he went into hospital that was not given to him. That lack of
