Despite a promising start on Love Island 2022, where Gemma was coupled up with Luca Bish, they didn't manage to clinch the winning title, which went to Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Culculoglu. Post-villa life proved challenging for the couple, and they parted ways just three months after the show ended.

A source spilled to MailOnline: "In no way was Luca blindsided, they'd been on the rocks for quite a few weeks. They'd nearly split up quite a few times before this. Cracks had been forming the past few weeks, they brushed it over. They tried to go to Dubai to see if it would help but things didn't change."
Before Gemma entered the Love Island villa, she was an international dressage rider, and represented the UK in a number of competitions, including at the Under 21 European Championships in 2021. She began her horse riding career when she was eight years old, and was competing when she was 11. In an interview with Tatler in 2022, she talked about being the youngest ever member of Team GB’s Prime Dressage Squad, and how she was teased because her father was famous.
“There were a lot of classic not-very-nice comments, bringing Dad into it,” she said. “You know, ‘Oh, Daddy got you a nice horse, so that’s why you’re here.’ I really had to prove myself as a rider. I focused on competing and doing well.”
