ITV Love Island's Luca Bish unrecognisable with long hair in unearthed video

It's fair to say that Luca Bish is very much smitten in the Love Island villa. The fishmonger has spent the last few weeks coupled up with Gemma Owen and appeared close to dropping the 'L bomb' after they were reunited from Casa Amor at the end of last week.

While viewers are used to seeing the 23-year-old showing off his tattooed limbs and bouncy, mousey blonde hair, things used to be very different.

A younger Lucas has been seen in the TikTok video, which has racked up more than two million views, showing previously unearthed footage of him with shoulder-length hair and sat in the back of a car wearing a black puffer coat.

The video was uploaded by TikTok user @elliebratt who captioned the clip: "Luca’s winners speech has been leaked!" The short video shows Luca talking to the camera about how pleased he is with the dental work he had just had done, as he points to his bright gnashers.

He says to the camera: “Yeah all done, I really don't want to leave, the experience has been amazing. The staff have been amazing, I just don't want to leave. I wish I could live here the way they treat you. So happy with the results."

But it was his hair that got those watching the video talking. @cherry.electric wrote: "THE HAIR IS KILLING ME." @avajeanine cried: "THE HAIR." @alana.mcwilliams echoed: "NAH THE HAIR."

Luca had a very different look (@elliebratt TikTok)

@piastriae wrote: "IM CRYING IS THAT HAIR REAL." @alessia.ceravolo commented: "Am i seeing his hair right." Others were even comparing him to Willy Wonka, of the Chocolate Factory fame.

While Casa Amor proved undramatic for his partnership, Luca has come under fire from viewers of the ITV2 dating show. During Unseen Bits on Saturday night (July 9) clips of the boys after the girls left for the second villa aired. It showed them sat in a row on coloured blankets in front of the pool.

Each boy took it in turns to say a word, and then the others would have to say the first thing that came to their head. When Jacques O'Neill said Tasha Ghori's name, all the boys began laughing hysterically as Luca looked at her then-partner Andrew Le Page, before shouting: "Cheat!"

A stunned Andrew didn't respond, not try and defend Tasha as the boys laughed and applauded Luca. But viewers weren't impressed. @somewhatofabrit said: "Luca calling tasha a cheat don’t sit right with me.. #LoveIsland." @zaddyziggler tweeted: "Them all laughing and calling Tasha a cheat is so misogynistic #LoveIsland."
