Gemma Owen’s ex Jacques makes brutal swipe at her after Love Island bombshell

Love Island’s Gemma Owen comes face to face with her ex-boyfriend Jacques O’Neill on the ITV show this evening as the villa turns tense, a new trailer has shown.

Love Island ’s latest bombshell Jacques enters the villa on Sunday evening’s episode, and instead of asking his old flame out on a date, the newest bombshell to the villa wines and dines gorgeous girls Afia and Paige.

With his classic good looks and chiselled bod, the Castleford Tigers star, 23, is sure to set pulses racing - including Gemma's.

Later in the episode, there’s flirtation on the cards as he sits down with his ex Gemma.

In the first look, Gemma can be seen telling her fellow Islanders: “Oh my God… no, no, no, no, that’s my ex-boyfriend.”

Later, as the Islanders get together over glasses of champagne, Jacques tells Gemma: “You look nice tonight, you know,” before telling the camera: “I am a flirtatious lad, like, I can’t help myself sometimes.”

Turning his attention to Gemma’s new flame Luca Bish, Jacques confesses: “I like him, you know.”

Gemma clarifies: “Luca?” as he responds: “I like him, yeah.”

Gemma then goes on to say: “Yeah, you are pretty similar.”

But Jacques isn't pulling his punches as he brutally responds: "Yeah, that's probably why you like him, isn't it?"

Looking like she disagrees with his statement, Gemma simply replies: “Hmm,” averting her eyes and raising her eyebrows in the very chilly chat.

Speaking with all of the boys around the fire pit, talk between Luca and Jacques soon turns to brunette beauty Gemma.

Having not yet had a word with his ex-girlfriend, Jacques quizzes Luca on how Gemma is feeling about him entering the villa.

“What’s she been saying, how’s she feeling about it?” he asks.

To which Luca replies: “It’s just awkward, your ex is in here.”

And as the girls gather in another area of the Villa to discuss Jacques’ arrival, Gemma shares her true feelings towards her ex-boyfriend.

“I don’t know. It’s weird because I still look at him and I do fancy him like 100%, I look at him and I think you are fit, no question, you are fit," she tells the other girls.

And fresh from her date with the handsome hunk, Paige adds: “Yeah, I think we all look at him and think he’s fit, yeah.”

But what does this mean for Gemma and Luca’s newly formed relationship?
