Love Island viewers were threatening to complain to Ofcom last night after 19-year-old Gemma Owen kissed 27-year-old Davide during a round of dares.
During last night’s episode, Gemma Owen was partnered with 22-year-old Liam Llewellyn.
However, Gemma’s head was turned when Italian hunk Davide entered the villa and fans are not happy.

However, others saw no issue and gushed over Davide and Gemma.
One said: “Davide and Gemma would be a power couple.”
Another added: “You’re all saying about Gemma & Davide’s age gap, but are you all forgetting about Laura and Wes been a couple in 2018.”
This refers to Wes Nelson and Laura Anderson, who had a nine-year age gap on the show.
Love Island continues on ITV2, tonight, from 9pm.
