Luca said he was "f***ing fuming" over the video, which he said was evidence of Michael Owen's daughter flirting with someone else.
In shocking scenes, Luca fumed watching the clip of Gemma, saying: "Just bring me a f**king bird in and watch.
"Trust me when I say, if she wants to f**king play games with me, I'll play. I can't be with someone like that, I'm sorry."
However, Gemma insisted calmly: "I don't think any lines have been crossed."
Other concerns came over the way he and Dami spoke to Tasha – mocking her by shouting "Tasha who", as clips aired of Andrew snogging Coco.
After the main episode, fans were further outraged as Laura Whitmore, 37, felt it was OK to discuss Ekin-Su’s reported antics in bed with dumped Islander George – despite the Turkish actress repeatedly denying anything happened.
She kicked off by saying: "Once again Ekin-Su swore that nothing happened with George and it seems Davide doesn’t believe her."
As Laura burst into laughter, Tom Grennan exclaimed: "It deffo happened though didn’t it"
Darren Harriott continued: "She said her head never turned but I think her hand might have turned, and possibly wrist."
Instead of shutting down the conversation, Laura then turned to Sian Welby to ask her opinion.
The comments left her family and friends feeling very uncomfortable and the person looking after her account last night tweeted: “The fact that the s*** shaming is being passed off as banter and good television is very concerning at this rate #LoveIsland.”
