Love Island producers have dropped another Bombshell on the villa in the alluring form of angel-eyed, rugby-playing, 23-year-old Jacques O'Neil.But don't be fooled by this dreamboat's enticing eyes and dangerously deep dimples, he enters the villa with BAGGAGE; a small carry on we've come to know as 19-year-old Gemma Owen, daughter of England football legend, Michael Owen.Yep, unsurprisingly, these painfully attractive human beings managed to find each other and make it work over lockdown – well, until it didn't. The pair dated for eight months in 2020 and, according to Gemma, broke up a year and a half ago, which means they called it quits at the beginning of 2021.So, plenty of Zoom dates and romantic, socially distant strolls to nowhere then? Jokes aside, this does mean that the reacquainted pair have been brought back together in one of the least socially-distant environments on the planet - Love Island.It sounds like Gemma is Jacques most recent relationship, too.
