Love Island’s Gemma Owen appears to have had a change of heart as she admits to Luca Bish that she is attracted to him in Thursday night’s episode.
Gemma was first linked to Liam Llewellyn via public vote before Davide Sanclimenti opted to be coupled with her on Tuesday’s episode.
However, it seems Michael Owen’s daughter is moving away from Italian hunk as he admits he’s attracted to both new bombshells.

After being chosen, Liam says in the beach shack: “It’s a massive booster, definitely what I needed, I’m buzzing now, can’t wait to meet the girls.”
Afia and Ekin-Su await Liam’s arrival in the candlelit courtyard, and Afia comes first.
Liam is quick to compliment the newcomer, saying: “I like your vibe, you’re just a laugh, a lively outgoing girl and that’s exactly what I want.”
Afia asks, “Would you say I’m your type?”
Liam says, “You’re definitely my type, 100%.”
