Love Island contestant Gemma Owen dropped a shocking bombshell about her relationship with Luca Bish.
Despite being coupled up since the first week of the series, and while they seem fairly happy together, the 19-year-old revealed that she would not make things "official" with the fishmonger while in the villa. And it couldn't have come at a worse time as the girls entered Casa Amor with six new boys looking to turn their heads.
In Sunday’s episode (July 3), when discussing her relationship with Luca to the new boys Gemma said that if Luca asks her to be his girlfriend in the villa she would say no. However, it wasn't due to Gemma wanting to look elsewhere - she put it down to getting her family's approval before giving anyone a "boyfriend" status.

Fans felt awkward for Luca after the revelation and took to Twitter, with some even saying Luca would want to end the relationship once he realises. One user said: "How can they say Gemma and Luca will win? When she doesn’t even want to be official…#LoveIsland #Loveislandaftersun."
Dean said: "I’m not going to lie, he will probably end it when he finds out Gemma doesn’t want to make it official in the #LoveIsland villa." Meanwhile, Kayleigh said: "Wonder if Luca knows how Gemma feels about making it official because he definitely seems the type to try and make a show of asking her to be his girlfriend #loveisland."
Gemma has expressed how important her family is to her multiple times. She is the daughter of football legend Michael Owen and only wants to introduce him to someone who is sure to impress him.
However, it seems that Michael is actually keen on the idea of meeting Luca. A source told the Mail Online the 42-year-old is looking to have an in-person conversation with him.
The source said: "As any dad will understand Michael isn’t exactly enjoying seeing Gemma’s love life play out on screen! There are things a dad doesn’t need to witness. He’s seen a few of the episodes and from what he’s witnessed he thinks Luca and the other guys on the Island seem like pretty decent fellas.
"But if Luca ends up officially going out with Gemma he will definitely want to meet him and make up his own mind on the guy. Any father would. He has been relying on Louise to keep him up to date with what’s going on."
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
