The first recoupling ceremony of Love Island 2022 took place last night, with Gemma Owen coupled up wth Luca Bish and leaving their former partners, Davide Sanclimenti and Paige Thorne.
It wasn’t the biggest surprise of the night, though, when masters student Liam Llewellyn declared his desire to leave the villa… just before the next bombshell was about to be dropped.
A new guy was seen making his entry as narrator Iain Stirling introduced the preview for Sunday night’s program, who, while not officially verified by Love Island, is thought to be rugby player Jacques O’Neill.
International dressage rider Gemma was heard telling the others that the bombshell was her ex-boyfriend, which made viewers’ shocked.
While people wait for the official confirmation that the bombshell is, in fact, Jacques, a post on his Instagram account read: ‘It’s official!!!’ Jacques has hung his boot for love and in entering the @loveisland villa. #Love #LoveIsland.’
Who’s ex is the new bombshell on Love Island?
A new guy was seen making his way into the villa in the trailer for Sunday night’s episode.
‘Oh my god,’ Gemma could be heard saying as the females saw him enter from afar. Someone yelled, ‘S**t!’ in disbelief at the big reveal, ‘That’s my ex-boyfriend.’
It’s presently unknown when Gemma and Jacques dated or how long they were together… But, just like when Jack Fincham’s ex-girlfriend Ellie Jones joined the group in the 2018 season, we suspect the newcomer’s romantic history will be a gamechanger.
Furthermore, many fans believe that the rugby player’s arrival will eventually reveal to the other islanders that Michael Owen is Gemma’s father.
How old is Jacques and where is he from?
Jacques is a 23-year-old man who was born on May 8, 1999. He was born in the Cumbrian town of Barrow-in-Furness.
