Love Island viewers were all cheering for Luca Bish after he gave Gemma Owen a brutal reality check while discussing their relationship.

Things between the couple have been a bit strained after she enjoyed a flirty chat with her ex-boyfriend Jacques O’Neill and then angered Bish by accidentally calling him by O’Neill’s name.

On Thursday’s episode, the 19-year-old daughter of former footballer Michael Owen claimed to have “seen a different side” to the fishmonger, 23, since they coupled up last week, admitting that she wanted to slow things down.

Taking the tattooed hunk to one side, she said: “You’ve probably noticed that I’ve been a little bit off the last day.

“What initially attracted me to you is that you didn’t give a s**t but I’ve seen a different side to you, which I do like but I don’t want to feel that’s us two married off now and that’s it.”

Bish hit back: “Why are we married off? Because two new boys have come in and not given you any attention?”

Looking shocked, Owen replied: “No it’s got nothing to do with the other boys.”

Viewers were in hysterics over Bish’s handling of the situation and flocked to social media to weigh-in.

“Luca told Gemma exactly what she needed to hear,” wrote one fan on Twitter.

Adding: “Two boys came in and didn’t give her attention and now she’s panicking that her couple is too good. No babe sometimes it’s not all about you.”
