Love Island's Jack Keating claims Gemma Owen was 'all over' another boy in the villa

Love Island star Jack Keating has claimed Gemma Owen had eyes for another boy in the villa besides Luca Bish.

The 23-year-old son of Boyzone star Ronan Keating appeared as a Casa Amor bombshell in the summer series, which was ultimately won by Ekin-Su and Davide last month.

Although Jack only enjoyed a brief stint on the ITV2 show, lasting only four days after none of the original girls decided not to couple up with him, Jack has a lot to say about his time in the villa and his latest revelation has raised some eyebrows.

The social media star has claimed that there was 'more going on' with Gemma Owen, 19, and Billy Brown, 23, than meets the eye.

Billy had eyes for Michael Owen's daughter Gemma as soon as he stepped into Casa Amor, and after Billy was brought back to the main villa by Tasha after their brief fling, Luca's insecurities reached an all-time high as he witnessed an undeniable spark between Gemma and bashful Billy.

Gemma and Billy’s flirty banter caused a huge row in the villa on Movie Night, as the pair were shown chatting in the kitchen while Billy asked the brunette bombshell for a hug.

Lifting the lid on the pair's chemistry, Jack suggested that if Luca had been out of the picture, Gemma and Billy would have made a great couple.

“From what I saw in our villa in Casa Amor, I know Billy and Gemma got on really well," he told Daily Star.

“I know that he came back into the main villa, with Movie Night, and things got very awkward between the three of them. But those two definitely vibed big time.

“I wouldn’t say it was legit but there was definitely some more going on, definitely, it’s kinda hard to say.”

Jack went on to insist that there was much more flirting going on behind the cameras.

"I mean, yeah, there was definitely more flirting going on and some of the lads were like ‘woah’ at points, but it wasn’t too serious where you could actually see them cracking on but there were definitely some moments where you were like Billy and Gemma, you never know, you never know.”

Despite finding a spark with Billy on the show, Gemma, 19, appears to be very much loved-up with Luca and last week, the lovebirds jetted off on their first holiday together - along with Gemma's famous family.
