Gemma Owen says fans 'don't know full story' about Luca Bish split

Love Island runner-up Gemma Owen has said fans "don't know the full story" after her breakup from Luca Bish.

The 19-year-old daughter of Michael Owen was in a relationship with the fishmonger for three months, after the pair came second on this year's Love Island. Last month, Gemma took to Instagram to announce the news of their separation.

At the time she said the split "wasn't an easy decision" and went on to thank her fans and followers for their support.

Luca said he treasured the "amazing memories" the couple made together, however the 23-year-old was seemingly unhappy that the break-up had gone public as he wanted "time to process this privately".

Gemma has been working with fashion brand Pretty Little Thing since leaving the Love Island Villa. Last week she swapped Cheshire for LA, as she jetted off for photoshoots with the brand.

In a new interview with Tatler, Gemma said her life has been "under a little bit of a microscope". While she refused to comment on Luca, she said, following their split: "People question certain decisions or think they know what's going on in your life when they perhaps don't know the full story.

"Overall, it's been a really good year that I definitely won't forget. I don't have any regrets, which is really important."
