Luca Bish claims Gemma Owen split was 'mutual decision' as he admits to 'emotional afternoon'

Luca Bish has broken his silence on his split from Gemma Owen, telling fans that their break-up was a 'mutual decision' and wishing her all the best for the future.

Brighton fishmonger Luca and Gemma, 19, daughter of football icon Michael Owen, weren't coupled up to begin with on the latest series of Love Island, but quickly got together after he confessed his feelings for her on the roof terrace at the end of their first week in the villa.

The couple's time on the ITV dating show wasn't without its bumps in the roads, with Love Island viewers claiming that Luca was giving them 'serious red flags' with some of his behaviour, willing Gemma to end things and move on. However, despite their troubles, Luca and Gemma stayed together and made it all the way to the final, finishing in second place behind Davide and Ekin-Su, despite not being 'official' by the time the series ended.
