Love Island's Luca Bish has joked that he may have put his and Gemma Owen' s relationship on the line after a recent fashion choice.
The 23-year-old fishmonger shared a snap of himself on Instagram, which showed him wearing a white t-shirt, a beige jacket, black trousers and a pair of white trainers.
He teased in the caption that the ensemble could present a challenge for his partner Gemma, 19, after noticing a sock peeking out from inside his footwear, one of her known 'icks'.

The former islander - who was runner-up with the dressage rider on the latest series of the ITV2 show - wrote alongside the photo: "Oh no ... is that a sock visible in my trainer."
Luca included sock and eyes emojis in the post. He later shared the post on his Instagram Story and wrote alongside it: "The caption [eyes emoji]. Should I be worried?"
His caption was referencing her introductory VT for this year's Love Island, in which she revealed that someone wearing socks with trainers could be quite a turn-off for her.
She explained before entering the villa: "My biggest ick is a guy that wears socks with trainers". Gemma, however, suggested that "ballerina socks" are suitable options.
According to the Sun , though, she said in another clip that he ick related to "long socks" with trainers. And in another, she suggested that "rude guys" was her "biggest ick".
Fans, however, were aware of her previous remarks and took to the comments section of Luca's recent post, with some admitting that they had noticed a sock peeking out.
"I think that is a visible sock," wrote one person alongside a horrified emoji. Another said: "Oh god, I can see it." A third suggested that Luca had been "playing with fire ".
A fourth commented: "Pray that she doesn't see the socks Luca."
Another said: "Don't give her the ick Luca."
Whilst a sixth wrote: "Gemma don't get the ick pls."
Others were amused with the caption, whilst one follower teased in the comments: "If she can look past the fish flops, I don't think you need to worry about the sock."
And some people reminded that certain socks wouldn't be an issue.
One said: "As long as it's ballerina socks it's fine."
Another said: "It's okay. She said ballerina socks will do."
