LOVE Island fans reckon Gemma Owen had a sneaky ulterior motive when she urged Paige Thorne to press on with Jay Younger.
Michael Owen's daughter, 19, used to date her current love interest, rugby ace Jacques O'Neill.
Many believe she either doesn't want anyone else to have him - or is plotting to rekindle their romance herself.
One viewer tweeted: "Gemma secretly doesn’t want Paige and Jacques to prosper LOL."
Another wrote: "Gemma trying to push Paige on Jay mmmm she really doesn’t like Paige with Jacques does she."
A third insisted: "Seems like Gemma wants Paige to stick with Jay so she can have Jacques."

Another agreed: "See Gemma pushing paige towards jay and away from jacques 👀 ur not slick girl we know u don’t wanna see ur ex happy with another girl."
Paige tonight told Paige it was worth exploring things with the Scottish new boy, asking her: "Do you think you're making it hard for Jay?
"He's seen you being normal with Jacques, holding hands and messing around being cheeky and flirty.
"He's always the one coming to you. Do you think from Jay's point of view it's like f***ing climbing up a mountain.

"It's just way too steep and it's impossible. He's just going to get bored and thinking: 'This is just impossible.'"
The speech prompted Paige to seek out Jay and open up to him - sparking a battle for her affections.
Meanwhile, it appears Gemma might be cooling things off with Luca after admitting there was a chance someone else could win her over.
And fans have seized on the fact that the day the Islanders learnt that she had a famous legend for a day was around the same time he made his move on her.
