Love Island fans spot 'sign' Gemma is over Luca after family weigh in

Love Island fans are convinced that Gemma Owen ‘doesn’t fancy’ her partner Luca Bish after watching the duo in the latest episode. The pair are currently coupled up on the hit ITV dating series but viewers are certain they’ve seen the biggest sign yet that the 19-year-old isn’t too keen.

The debate comes right after Gemma's mum expressed her upset with Luca and his pal Dami over allegations they are 'bullying' fellow island Tasha Ghouri. In the villa, things also appear to have taken a turn for the happy couple, according to eagle-eyed viewers.

Claiming to have witnessed Gemma's disgusted facial responses at her beau's performance in a sexy challenge, fans were also shocked to hear Luca made sly digs about Gemma 'not putting any effort in' into their relationship as the final looms.

The Mirror reports that during Friday night's episode, the boys were tasked with serenading their partners in 'You've Got Male', which saw them dressing up as sexy postmen before stripping off their uniforms in a tantalising striptease.

While the other girls cheered on their men, Gemma was seen by viewers recoiling when Luca ripped off his shorts to reveal a tiny pair of red sequined pants. Speaking about her reaction in the Beach Hut afterwards, Gemma appeared to confirm her disappointment.

She told told the camera: "He had a very good... approach. Not so much sexy but...". Luca interrupted: "What do you mean not sexy? I wasn't trying to be sexy." Rolling her eyes, Gemma explained: "Yeah, that's what I'm saying you came with the funny approach rather than like sexy." The fishmonger protested: "I can be sexy if I want to be sexy."

He then scathed: "Obviously shock Gemma didn't have to put any effort in in - a bit like our whole relationship". But Gemma fumed: "Are you joking!?"

Gemma's reaction in the challenge didn't go unnoticed by fans watching at home who have suggested she's pretending to fancy her fellow contestant. "Gemma's face during that challenge. Luca really gives her the ick every single time she really is struggling," said one.

"LOL who else saw Gemma's face drop when she saw Luca's package," added another. A third predicted the couple are headed for a split, "Ooool the ick on Gemma's face during Luca's turn. His days are numbered."

"Gemma's mouth says she likes Luca but her face says "help me", said another after they went in for a snog.

It comes after new bombshell Nathalia asked the couple if there was enough 'banter' in their relationship and if they could say themselves lasting on the outside during a candid game of truth and dare. Luca shot down accusations they were not a 'fun couple' and has spent the last week declaring his love for the daughter of former Liverpool striker Michael Owen.

Meanwhile on the outside, Gemma's mum has been making her feelings clear on the series for the first time. Louise spoke out amid the furore of fans accusing Luca and his sidekick Dami of their hostile treatment to contestant Tasha.

In response to a video posted by Tasha's family on her Instagram page, Louise wrote a crying and heart emoji: "I hope Tasha is ok, I feel it's close to bullying now which is so sad to see."

Gemma has previously revealed that her mum was 'scary' and warned Luca he would need to work to impress her. If the reality TV couple survive the latest vote off, Luca will face Louise in the villa in the eagerly-anticipated meet the parents episode.

While football pundit Michael has made it clear he will not be flying out to Majorca to participate in the reunion. Speaking to Sky Sports At The Races, Michael said: "My wife will do that duty."
