Love Island contestant Gemma Owen has confirmed that she has a ‘hidden’ connection to new Casa Amor bombshell Billy Brown – but the move has not pleased some viewers.
Roofing company director Billy Brown, 23, is just one of the new bombshells to enter the villa, including former islander Chloe Burrows and Jack Keating – the son of Boyzone star and The One Show host Ronan Keating.
However, it was not long before Gemma admitted to the islanders that she already had a connection to one of the new islanders.

The connection has not pleased Love Island viewers though, with many taking to social media to call out the programme for the decision to bring in another contestant who knows Gemma – after her ex-boyfriend Jacques O’Neill joined the villa a few weeks ago.

One said: “Why is this all of a sudden the Gemma show? I’m sick of everyone knowing her. This new dude Billy knows her too? That’s ridiculous.”
A second added: “Pretty convenient that Billy and Gemma have mutual friends isn’t it? This show annoys me.”
A third commented: “Of course Billy and Gemma know one another. For the love of god.”

Before Gemma had revealed her secret connection to Billy though, fans had already spotted that there might be a link between the two, after they discovered that Gemma follows Billy on Instagram.
Business owner and dressage rider Gemma later confirmed her link to Billy during last night’s episode (July 3, 2022), after things heated up with the opening of Casa Amor on Friday night.
She told the girls: “I know Billy, I feel like me and Billy have got mutual friends…”
She added: “I don’t “know” know him, I’ve never met him.
“But one of my best boy mates on the outside is his best mate.”
She also shared a few hints about the new bombshell too, warning the girls that Billy was “a bit of a player like a lad’s lad.” adding: “You can tell by his personality.”
