Sam Thompson jokes Love Island's Gemma has the ick with Luca in parody video

Sam Thompson had fans in hysterics with a parody video about Love Island 's Gemma Owen and Luca Bish following a tense few days for the former lovebirds.

The Made in Chelsea alum, 29, regularly shares content about the ITV2 reality show, which he has been watching with his partner, and former islander, Zara McDermott, 25.

One of his most recent posts on Instagram sees Sam parody Gemma, 19, and Luca, 23 - who are among the remaining couples in the villa on the latest series.

The video - which was shared with his 1.5 million followers last night - saw reality TV star Sam provide his interpretation of what it may be like for Gemma waking up next to Luca.

It opens with 'Gemma' - portrayed by Sam in a bra and a brunette wig - turning over in bed, before being shocked to see 'Luca' - also played by Sam - had been watching her.

His portrayal of Luca sees him staring at 'Gemma,' with him telling her: "You look beautiful in the mornings." He later inhales deeply and adds: "I wanna inhale ya. You're mine."

'Gemma' is visibly a bit uncomfortable as 'Luca' watches her in the parody, with it potentially supporting the fan theory that the real Gemma may be getting the ick from Luca.

Some viewers however suggested they didn't find it amusing, with one writing: "Omg it's not even funny how accurate this is." Another agreed, saying that it was "terrifyingly true."

Sam later teased that it was as though Luca had seen the parody, with a scene broadcast on the show last night having shown him and Gemma interacting after waking up.

The scene sees Luca tell Gemma: "I really want to kiss you." She is however heard responding: "God loves a trier." Sam shared the clip and said: "It's like he's seen my video."

Sam's commentary of the latest episode also saw him praise Gemma over her "wisdom," with him sharing his thoughts amid her disagreement with Luca over a challenge.

"I've never seen anyone like Gemma. [She's] 19, moving like a therapist. [...] She's literally psychoanalyzing him and getting it right. What's she gonna be like at 30?" Sam said.

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 and ITV Hub from 9pm. You can catch up on the series through ITV Hub and episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
