Love Island fans convinced Davide, 27, has no idea Gemma is just 19
LOVE Island fans are convinced Davide Sanclimenti had no idea about Gemma Owen's age when he snogged her.
The teenage daughter of football legend Michael Owen took the chance to score with the Italian bombshell Davide after being dared to snog who she fancies most on Monday's episode.
But viewers furiously threatened to complain to Ofcom after 19-year-old Gemma Owen kissed Davide, 27.
However, fans raced to defend Davide saying he did not know her age at the time.
One wrote: "Can we take a second to realise that Davide may not even realise that Gemma is only 19. #LoveIsland"
Another posted: "I think people are over exaggerating this whole Gemma and Davide thing. She is technically an adult and it's all dependent on maturity levels and where they are in life.

"Some people settle down at 21, some at 40. An eight year age gap can work if the two people are right. #LoveIsland"
A third said: "I don't think the age gap is a problem - eight years is not a big deal. #LoveIsland"
On last night's episode, Italian stallion Davide coupled up with Gemma, stealing her away from her current partner Liam Llewellyn.
But this sparked concerns about the age-gap between the potential love interests.
One wrote: "Anyone else feeling slightly uncomfortable that Davide is 27 and is now coupled up with Gemma who is 19. #LoveIsland"
One viewer said: "If Gemma and Davide end up together the ofcom complaints are gunna be WILD it’s just so wrong."
Another insisted: "If Davide and Gemma couple up I'm writing to ofcom."
Someone else said: "I'm going to email Ofcom if Gemma and Davide get together, this should be illegal."
"Don’t care no one above 25 should be getting with someone who’s got teen in their age," said another.
A worried viewer added: "I’m sorry but how old is Davide, because if he’s over 25 and he ends up with Gemma, I’m definitely complaining with OFCOM."
Earlier in the episode, Gemma shocked her co-stars by revealing her real age.
The public chose to pair her up with Welsh personal trainer Liam Llewellyn, 22.
