Gemma’s odds to win Love Island slashed after she couples up with Davide

Love Island season is officially upon us.

ITV’s hit dating reality show returned to screens on Monday (6 June), with a new cast of singletons heading into the villa for a shot at finding love.

Earlier this week, the first line-up of 11 contestants was announced. You can see the full list here. Among them are footballer Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma and Tasha Ghouri, Love Island’s first ever deaf contestant.

Although it’s still very early days, bookies have already got ideas on who is likely to be in it for the long run – and who is going to be getting the boot.

At the top of the list are Tasha Ghouri for the female contestants and Luca Bish for the male contestants.
