Gemma assured Luca she wasn’t going after her ex, and while she confessed it wasn’t the best situation having Jacques in the villa, she was happy coupled up with the fishmonger. Jacques made it clear he would be cracking on with the girls in the villa, despite counting Gemma as his ex, and fishmonger Luca Bish was left quaking after the rugby player’s surprise arrival. He wined and dined Afia and Paige as the rest of the girls sat on the balcony and gossiped, and the daughter of footballer Michael Owen said she had broken up with the hunk a year and a half ago, dating for eight months.

(His words, not mine.) “I literally know if they’re going to be my girlfriend within a week,” he told ITV. “I fall pretty quick.” “I was saying to my mum the other day that I want a girl to settle down,” he told ITV. “I’ve done all my bits.” At the time of writing, Jacques’s Insta is sitting pretty at 49,000 followers. Not only is he a Love Island bombshell, but he’s also Gemma’s ex-boyfriend. A Friday night cliffhanger is pretty normal for Love Island, but on June 10 it was a particularly poignant one. Jacques debuted for Castleford Tigers in 2019 and has made 29 appearances on the pitch.
