Davide Sanclimenti has said he intends to have a word with Luca Bish after he tried to steal Gemma Owen away from him behind his back
(Picture: ITV)Davide Sanclimenti has promised to confront Luca Bish after he took Gemma Owen for a private chat on the Love Island terrace.
Bish, a 23-year-old fishmonger from Brighton, used the conversation to tell the 19-year-old daughter of former Liverpool striker Michael Owen, his true feelings for her.
Hidden away from the main group, Bish said he would swap beds to be with her tonight if she gave him the option, adding: “I really want to kiss you.”
Despite admitting she shared his feelings, the brunette told him: “No, not yet.”

Owen, who has not yet revealed the identity of her celebrity father, also told her potential suitor that he would get on with her dad outside the villa because of their shared passion for football.
Unaware, he replied: “Let’s see if your dad knows what he’s talking about.”
Sanclimenti, who chose to couple up with Owen on Tuesday after arriving in the villa as a surprise bombshell contestant, appeared annoyed by the private exchange and told the other boys he intended to have a word with Bish.
However, earlier in the episode he had himself caused friction by flirting with newcomer Ekin-Su Culculoglu during a game of dares.

After arriving in the villa on Wednesday night, the 27-year-old actress wasted no time getting to know the Italian business owner, also 27.
The pair spent the morning working out together in the garden, much to Owen’s annoyance.
Later that evening, the islanders gathered together for a game of beer pong with every accurate throw prompting a dare.
Culculoglu used her dare to perform a seductive dance on the self-proclaimed Italian stallion before kissing him on the cheek.
Speaking in the beach hut after the task, she said: “Who else would I want to be rubbing my booty against, you know, the nice little eight pack!”
However, Sanclimenti’s flirtations only appeared to push Owen away and towards Bish.
The episode also saw narrator Iain Stirling poke fan at the Downing Street parties.
As the islanders got ready for the evening, he told viewers: “Another night and they’re having another party? This feels like Downing Street in lockdown.”
