The 19-year-old islander has been joined in the villa by her 23-year-old ex, and while they haven’t been coupled up, there’s already enough of drama for fans to enjoy.
Instead of reawakening an old flame, Jacques went on dates with Afia Tonkmor and Paige Thorne on Sunday’s episode of Itv2.
Gemma who was snooping from the balcony disclosed that she and Jacques split up a year and a half ago, after being in a relationship for eight months.
‘so she was 17 when they broke up,’ a fan wrote, while another wrote: ‘omg it gets worse! she was still in school and he was like 21?!?! nah sorry mate but that’s all kinds of wrong.’
viewers were shocked by the maths, with a another person tweeting: ‘jacques is an immediate no for dating a teenager. i’m disgusted.’
with a queasy face emoji, another fan said: ‘so confirmed they broke up a year and a half ago (when she was 17) and dated for like 8 months’.
and yet another twitter mathematician wrote: ‘gemma just turned 19 and broke up with this man 1.5 years ago when she was 17 and a half. she dated him for 8 months which mean she started dating this man at 16 when he was 20?????? (sic)’
The two ex-lovers did reconnect over the weekend, and after arriving at the villa, Jacques began flirting with Gemma.
‘you look nice tonight, you know,’ he told her, before admitting: ‘i am a flirtatious lad, like, i can’t help myself sometimes.’
