ITV Love Island fans ask Luca Bish to 'stop' as they notice issue with Gemma Owen

Love Island fans are almost a week into the new series and there has already been a recoupling and not one but FOUR bombshells, starting with Davide Sanclimenti and more recently the arrival of Gemma Owen's ex Jacques O'Neill.

But among those now finding themselves together are Gemma and Luca Bish. Just 24 hours after the pair enjoyed their 'first chat', fishmonger Luca, 23, decided to swap paramedic Paige Thorne for the daughter of footballer Michael Owen in the latest recoupling. This meant that Davide also had to choose a new partner, after initially choosing the 19-year-old when she was coupled up with Liam Llewellyn.

The Italian business owner, who lives in Manchester, is now with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and both couples wasted no time in getting a bit closer. But while Davide and Ekin-Su shared a passionate kiss, viewers were left cringing as Luca attempted to romance Gemma.

During scenes aired on the ITV2 dating show on Sunday night (June 12), Luca and Gemma headed off to a more private outdoor area of the Mallorcan villa where they could be seen shared a cosy cuddle. Gemma warned him that the 'real graft' was just beginning and didn't agree to getting close to him when they had to share a bed for the first time.

He then started talking about her favourite holiday spots, before telling her he wants to take her to Mykonos and Santorini once they're out of the villa. But Love Island fans had a lot to say about Luca.

@elsa47704764 tweeted: "I know not everyone likes Gemma and fair enough but Luca was coming on TOO strong, what is he on about talking holidays already??? #loveisland." @christinahahx commented: "Luca planning the future with gemma like they’re gonna make it to next week #LoveIsland."

@ChrisM_ka shared: "Is luca not ashamed to be wedding planning 2 seconds in? #LoveIsland." @wsppfroggie wrote: "I thought davide was cringe luca stop moving so fast #loveisland." @idonthaveurtim1 replied: "Can Luca stop being territorial it’s cringe and boring #LoveIsland."

But it's not just Luca they were talking about as Gemma caught their attention, while sat rather rigidly as her new partner planned their future. @polteagirl said: "Gemma can’t do eye contact and it’s awkward #LoveIsland."

@annaonthebrain tweeted: "#loveisland gemma i’m begging you to please learn to make eye contact." @CansuOzd wrote: "Also can I just say something, Gemma NEVER makes eye contact when she’s having a conversation with someone… I can’t unsee it. It’s weird. Just watch and see. #loveIsland."
