Love Island fans call for ITV2 to air clip of Luca flirting with Mollie after Gemma row

Love Island fans have called on ITV2 producers to air a clip in which Luca Bish can be seen 'flirting' with Mollie Salmon in Casa Amor following his row with Gemma Owen.

During Sunday night's instalment of the dating show, the islanders were treated to Movie Night and watched on during one clip as 19-year old Gemma appeared to flirt with Billy Brown, 23 - before Luca stepped in to interrogate.

The clip led to Gemma telling her partner to 'get over yourself'.

Prior to the row, meanwhile, Luca angrily exclaimed that he was about to "f*****g explode", telling Gemma: "You were entertaining it".

However, disgruntled viewers remembered a previous episode that showed Luca in a situation with bombshell Mollie that saw the fishmonger tease by the pool: "Me and you can be naughty together, not in that way but maybe... nah."

Make-up artist Mollie then asked in return: "So do you not fancy me a little bit?"

Before Luca quipped: "Do I fancy you? Do I think you're a good looking girl? Yeah, 100%! I'm not a liar, like, I can say if I think someone's a good looking girl, yeah."

Fans subsequently took to social media to complain, with one Twitter user writing: "What about Luca's chat with Mollie on the beanbags? Couldn't producers make that look just as bad as they tried to make Gemma's chat with Billy? She's done nothing wrong at all."

Another commented: "Someone tell Luca to shut up the DOUBLE STANDARDS WTF. He can flirt with Mollie but when Gem is being flirted with its like she's ruining everything."

A third added: "To be honest the producers really let Luca off the hook. I was expecting to see the clip on day one of Casa when Luca was flirting with Mollie. The north remembers."

And a fourth said: "The producers did Luca too good at movie night. Should have shown the clips with him and Mollie."

Luca's family, meanwhile, have been forced to apologise following a backlash over the exchange with Gemma.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, they called out his "insensitive" behaviour" and said that when he watches it back he will be "deeply embarrassed".

However, the account - run by his sister - also warned that he is in an "intense environment where his emotions are heightened".

She revealed that they had been receiving horrible death threats and that - as a result - they have been forced to turn the comments off on his social media.
