Could she be back with an ex?

Gemma Owen’s 27-year-old ex-boyfriend Neil Farrugia could potentially be the contributing factor to the fishmonger’s breakup with her. Fans noticed that Neil Farrugia has started liking her photos on Instagram and that could be why Gemma has decided to split with her 23-year-old Love Island boyfriend, reported The Sun.

Fans took to social media and speculated:

Gemma's nearly 30 year old ex boyfriend, the one she was rumoured to be back together with, liking this post? Interesting timing.

While another added:

Not the 27 year old @neilfarrugia1 now liking your pics again after saying he could win you back.

This comes after The Sun previously also reported that Neil has claimed to win her back from Love Island’s Luca. He said:

I would definitely try my best to turn Gemma’s head back in my direction if I joined the show as a bombshell.
If I had to predict who she’d end up with, I would never have imagined Luca – Davide is definitely more her type!

Luca’s ‘The One’

While the 19-year-old dressage rider implied that their breakup was a mutual decision, Luca revealed that he had ‘no idea’ that Gemma was going to end things with him. An unnamed insider claimed:

Luca had no idea that Gemma was going to end things.
He feels really embarrassed about the whole thing. He was gushing about her at events this week - while she was planning to end it.
He begged her to keep trying but she had made up her mind.
He feels like he has put up with a lot - after being slammed on the show and mocked about Michael Owen, so he's feeling pretty upset and angry right now.
