Love Island's Gemma Owen in showdown with Luca after awkwardly calling him Jacques

Gemma Owen faces the wrath of Luca Bish on tonight's Love Island - as she calls him by her ex's name.

The villa was rocked over the past few days by Jacques O'Neill's arrival on the show as he just happened to be 19-year-old dressage star Gemma's ex-boyfriend. Fishmonger Luca has taken a shine to Gemma in recent days but he has also been clearly rattled by the rugby star's arrival on the ITV2 show - and things get much worse tonight.

During tonight's episode, fans find out exactly what happened between Luca and Gemma - and it's not good news for the pair.

After Afia left the villa, all the other Islanders came together and Luca goes in to cuddle Gemma from behind. However, she suffers a slip of the tongue as she accidentally ends up calling her new partner by her ex's name.

She will have no doubt hoped it would all calm down but soon the other Islanders bring it up - and there's a lot of talk about her error, only making things worse for Gemma in Luca's eyes.

Jacques is sat next to them, as the others comment on Gemma's blunder.

"Did you just call him something else?" Amber said, as Luca replies: "I know what she said."

Amber then continued on the topic, repeating the name Gemma used, as her partner Dami Hope then went on to add: "Oh my god, there is no way that happened, there is no way that happened!"

Paige Thorne - who had only seconds ago coupled up with Jacques - was ok with it, adding: "Easy mistake to make, hun."

As an angry Luca walks off, Gemma checks with the other Islanders: "That was bad wasn’t it?"

"That was bad, I am not gonna lie, he was stood there, you had your guy rubbing your shoulders, he’s stood there and you’re like… 'Oh Jacques,'" Paige then replies, admitting things have gone better.

A first look from last night's episode shows a tense row between Gemma and Luca, but will he be able to forgive and forget her name blunder - or does this spell the end of their brief romance for good?

*Love Island, tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
