Gemma Owen is about to get a shock as her ex Jacques O’Neill is set to enter the Love Island villa in on Sunday 12 June.
As the show ended, a new hunk was seen entering the villa with the girls all reacting and Gemma, 19, shouting: "Oh my god, that's my ex boyfriend."
And it looks like Jacques wastes no time in pulling his ex girlfriend for a chat upon arrival.
With his arrival causing a stir he opts to clear the air with Gemma and pulls her for a private chat where they talk properly fo the first time in the villa.
Rugby player Jacques also gets to know his other fellow islanders including going on dates with Paige and Afia.
Talk soon turns to Gemma between her new love interest Luca and Jacques, with the latter asking: "What’s she been saying, how’s she feeling about it?”
Luca replies: "It’s just awkward, your ex is in here.”
Gemma admits to still having feelings for her ex as she tells the girls: "I don’t know. It’s weird because I still look at him and I do fancy him like 100%, I look at him and I think you are fit, no question, you are fit.”
Paige cheekily adds: "Yeah, I think we all look at him and think he’s fit, yeah.”
Jacques is a professional rugby league player and has only just being released from his contract by his club, The Castleford Tigers, to allow him to “pursue another opportunity” which now is clear to be the hit ITV2 show.

Gemma has had her share of drama in the first week in Majorca and has just recoupled with Luca Bish who chose to couple up with her after the brunette had originally been stolen by Davide Sanclimenti, from original boy Liam Llewellyn.
So she could be in for another week of drama when her ex Jacques arrives in the villa.
Gemma and Jacques are thought to have been together for about a year and broke up within the last 12 months.
Jacques appears on his Instagram posing with his French bulldog Zeus and seems at home with babies as he poses with his sister's baby too.
The Castleford Tigers confirmed the release of hooker Jacques on Friday but said they have the first option to re-sign him if he wants to resume his rugby league career.
The Super League club said in a statement: “Castleford Tigers can confirm that the club has agreed to release Jacques O’Neill from his contract to allow him to pursue another opportunity.
“Known for a fearless attitude on the field by Castleford supporters, the Cumbrian-born 23-year-old is a proud product of the Tigers’ youth system having come through both our scholarship and academy programmes before making his Super League debut.
“Castleford Tigers would like to wish Jacques well with his new opportunity and thank him for his efforts as a Tiger so far.”
