ITV Love Island fans say Luca's 'obsession' is 'getting on their nerves' after 'dumb' move

Love Island fans couldn't help but talk about Luca Bish during the latest trip to the villa. Wednesday night's edition of the ITV2 dating show saw Gemma Owen and Davide Sanclimenti go on their first date.

The 19-year-old international dressage rider and business owner Gemma said she was "really happy" after Love Island bombshell Davide, who is from Rome but lives in Manchester, chose to couple up with her. Gemma swapped Liam Llewellyn for 27-year-old Davide after he arrived the night before. He had to choose which girl he'd like to couple up with, leaving the remaining boy vulnerable to being dumped from the villa.

The decision caused outrage among viewers and during Wednesday's night episode (June 8), the pair headed away from the famous ITV2 villa in Mallorca to catch some rays while making lemonade together which again, got fans of the show casting their opinions.

Meanwhile, fans watched as 23-year-old Luca confronted love rival Andrew Le Page for "snaking him". In the first episode of the eighth series on Monday, Andrew Le Page was coupled up with Tasha Ghouri after the decision was taken away from the fresh bunch of singletons and put into the hands of the public. However, model and dancer Tasha has found herself wanting to get to know fishmonger Luca.

But last night (Wednesday), Luca said he was "raging" to find out that 27-year-old estate agent Andrew Le Page had lied to Tasha Ghouri about her being in his “top three”. During the episode, Andrew told Tasha that Luca had expressed she was not in his top three picks out of all the girls in the villa.

Later, Tasha confronted Luca, who said: "Of course you’re in it, you’re up there don’t worry," before he spoke to Andrew about his comments to which is said 'from the bottom of my heart I am sorry' and that it was 'an honest mistake'.

However, fans were blasting Luca for a 'dumb' move as before speaking to Andrew, he vented to his partner Paige Thorne. He told her he was going to confront Andrew because he is “snaking me”. He added: “I would never dog another boy to get to a girl, if my games bad or the girl don’t like me then fair play you win. I was raging when Tasha told me. There isn’t an explanation for it."

As he went on his rant, Paige said at one point: "I’m sure it will be fine, it’s just a misunderstanding and…" The scene then cut to a visibly frustrated Paige in the Beach Hut who said: "Oh for God’s sake, Luca making my head spin again." And fans were unimpressed - including former Love Island winner Amber Gill who tweeted: "Now Luca BOY Why would you say that to Paige!!! Is he dumb!?!! There's 12 other people to talk about that with."

@NL_Vossi said: "How’s Luca confiding in Paige about Tasha LOOL the guys brain doesn’t work #LoveIsland." @vikslov3r warned: "Luca. don’t talk about that with paige BRO #LoveIsland." @meganchloa shared: "Luca telling PAIGE that he’s annoyed at Andrew for tryna snake him out to Tasha… #loveisland."

But Love Island fans also think Luca has an 'obsession' - and that it is going too far. @nourk099 said: "Luca’s obsession with Davide is unhealthy #LoveIsland." @paradisegia commented: "Luca has an OBSESSION with davide omg #loveisland."

@CHXN3L wrote: "I like Luca but he’s starting to get on my nerves. the only thing he talks about seems to be Davide. Bloody hell he’s obsessed i’m bored of it !! #LoveIsland." @Simone_Anderson added: "These lot are getting on my nerves. He’s just Italian stop moving like he’s from some mystical island #loveisland."
