Love Island stars REAL ages revealed – and you’ll be amazed how young they are

THEY say age is just a number when it comes to looking for love, but over the years Love Island viewers have become rather fixated on just that.

From young singletons, who act older, to older bachelors, who look young, we take a look at some of the most surprising Islander ages…

She is the most talked about Islander of 2022 so far and her age has caused great concern amongst viewers.

Gemma is just 19 years old, but admits she likes an older man and was coupled up with Davide, 27, in the villa – which led to 100s of Ofcom complaints.

Even her dad – footballer Michael Owen – got involved and insisted there was nothing wrong with her doing the show.

She is already a millionaire, but Molly-Mae Hague is only 23 and was just 20 when she appeared in the villa.

At the time fans were sure she was older because she was very confident and already a successful influencer.

The only giveaway was the fact she still slept with Elly Belly.
