Love Island fans were stunned by a remark made by host Laura Whitmore while interviewing runners-up Gemma Owen and Luca Bish on Sunday night's reunion show. Nineteen-year-old dressage rider Gemma found love with fishmonger Luca, 23, during their two months in the famous villa in Mallorca.
The couple fell for each other early on in the ITV2 dating contest after Luca was originally coupled with Paige Thorne and Gemma was paired with Liam Llewellyn then 'Italian snack' Davide Sanclimenti. The pair came second in the popular show after Manchester business owner Davide and actress Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu from Essex.
Quizzed about their relationship after show ended on Monday night Gemma told Laura that they had gone from strength to strength. And then there was an awkward moment as Laura asked if Luca had met her dad former Liverpool, Manchester United and England footballer Michael Owen yet.
