Love Island fans have voiced their concerns over one of the contestant’s age after she was introduced to the show.
Iain Stirling and Laura Whitmore welcomed the new singletons to the Mallorcan villa and wasted no time cracking on with the coupling process.
The girls entered the villa and a short VT played for the viewing audience at home.
Gemma turned up and gave some information on herself, but immediately sparked concerns from fans.
The star revealed that she is just 19 years old, which left avid viewers wondering why she was on the programme.
A concerned fan tweeted: “Gemma is beautiful but I just think she’s a bit too young to be on this show, especially when all the lads are 20 odd.”

Another wrote: “I think 19 is too young for Love Island. Gemma said her last relationship was one and a half years ago, so when she was like, 17? High school relationships are so different to adult ones. You have no life experience yet. She’s still a teenager.”
One also added: “Surely it’s not right to have Gemma in the villa. Anyone who couples up with her is just gonna look odd, she’s way too young.”
Fans have also spotted the frosty atmosphere between the contestants within the coupling segment.
This year, the method has changed and the show has let the public decide who will be the initial couples.
The girls lined up on the grass while Laura introduced the guys and broke the news.
As they walked onto the set, Laura told them who their partner will be which clearly shocked the contestants.
However, viewers at home turned to Twitter once again to comment on their expressions as they approached their couples.

One tweeted out that the group all look “stiff as hell” while another claimed they “couldn’t name a couple who was happy” with who they were coupled up with.
After the coupling, the cast broke off to different sections of the villa to get to know their partners better.
Situations didn’t seem to improve much between some of the house mates, but Paige and Luca appeared comfortable with each other right away and began talking about sex positions.
