Aftersun: Gemma’s family insist she’s ‘just friends’ with Jacques

Love Island’s Gemma Owen has got her family’s seal of approval on her romance with Luca Bish.

The pair have been growing closer by the day, with Luca left reeling tonight when newbie Danica Taylor decided to pick him as her partner, splitting him and Gemma up and leaving the fishmonger fuming with her decision.

Gemma’s auntie and cousin appeared on Love Island’s After Sun tonight, where they backed her romance with Luca – insisting Gemma must really like him because of the way she’s behaving in the villa – as they spilled details on her past romance with Jacques O’Neill.

Asked for her verdict, her aunty said: “Gemma obviously really likes him as she can’t hide her feelings. They’re written all over her face.”

After Sun host Laura Whitmore also asked if she felt they – and Gemma’s dad Michael Owen – would like him on the outside too, as she added of their close knit family: “He would get on really well with the family.”

Gemma has had her eyes set on Luca for a few days now after she and Davide hit the rocks.

During tonight’s show though, fans have been expressing concern over Luca’s reaction to Danica’s decision.

“Nah sorry always red flags from men who are rude to women they’re not interested in, u can’t muster up some basic respect and kindness just bc you don’t wanna fancy her???? Ok #loveisland,” one disappointed fan wrote, as another added: “is luca being this obsessed with gemma a red flag or am i paranoid?? i get that they’re together 24/7 but it’s still a bit… iffy #LoveIsland.”

A third fan penned: “i was starting to like gemma but now i feel sorry for her cause luca is a red flag #loveisland.”

It comes after Gemma revealed her dad Michael trusts her not to “embarrass” him in the villa.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, she said: “I still wouldn’t say he was buzzing about the fact, but he is very supportive in whatever I decide to do so he didn’t have a massive tantrum or anything like that. He was pretty chilled.”

And speaking of her mum, she said: “They trust me not to do anything to embarrass them, so I don’t think I would have sex in the villa.”
