Gemma Owen has found herself at the centre of the drama in the Love Island villa so far, especially after the recent arrival of one of her ex-boyfriends, Jacques O'Neill.

We're a week into the latest series Love Island and one contestant is arguably the most discussed Islander in the famous villa this year. Dressage rider Gemma Owen, the daughter of former Liverpool, Manchester United and England striker Michael Owen, had viewers talking just a couple of days in after she coupled-up with Italian hunk Davide Sanclimenti who lives in Manchester.

Love Island 's Gemma Owen finally spoke about her famous father Michael Owen on Thursday's episode without mentioning his name. The Islander, 19, decided to turn her attention to Luca Bish during the latest instalment as the duo enjoyed a flirty conversation on the rooftop.

The eighth series of Love Island has already thrown up plenty of laughs, memes and drama, and of course some celebrity lookalikes. Luca Bish has caught the eyes of many of the girls in the villa, while fans at home have pointed out that he looks like a famous celeb – Westlife's Kian Egan, 42.

Love Island is set for more drama on Thursday night as Gemma Owen turns her attention to Luca Bish as the two Islanders enjoy a flirty conversation. Only recently, villa bombshell Davide Sanclimenti picked Gemma, 19, in a dramatic recoupling after she had originally been paired with Liam Llewellyn after a vote by the public.
