Love Island star Luca Bish thought Wales was a 'small part of England'

A new series on S4C will see Love Island star Luca Bish try and immerse himself in Welsh culture. In S4C's Hansh series Mwy na Daffs a Taffs ('More than Daffs and Taffs'), we will see the fishmonger turned reality TV star try and learn some Welsh words and phrases, play football with Wrexham women's football team and share his original assumptions of Wales.

The Mwy na Daffs a Taffs series, which has been available to stream since March 2, includes The Only Way is Essex star Gemma Collins, The Apprentice competitor Ryan-Mark Parsons, and last year's runner-up of ITV's Love Island, Luca Bish. The programme hopes to bring together some of the UK's most famous reality celebrities who have their own biases and assumptions about Wales, and try to immerse them in our culture to challenge the clichés.

During the show, Luca Bish, who was coupled up with Gemma Owen during the dating show, revealed what his original prejudices of Wales were. He said: "If I could describe Wales in three words it would be damp, green and untouched. Untouched because it just looks like it was when Henry VIII was about.” At one point, the reality TV star said that he wasn’t even sure if there was any sand on Welsh beaches.
