Love Island's Gemma Owen and Luca Bish are finally official after sweet proposal

Love Island's Gemma Owen and Luca Bish are finally officially boyfriend and girlfriend.

The pair met during this year of the ITV2 show and he has been waiting for the right time to finally ask her to be his girlfriend. He settled on a very special way of doing so, and spoiled her rotten in a romantic proposal last night.

Gemma and Luca both took to social media to share pictures of their romantic evening. The couple didn't win the ITV2 show - that honour went to Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti - but they seem to have found love with one another.

In a video posted on Instagram, Luca led Gemma through a beautifully ornate corridor, complete with romantic red roses, candles, red balloons and rose petals. They headed towards a swimming pool, where the words "Be my girlfriend" floated.

Gemma was clearly taken aback by his sweet gesture, as she mouthed the words "Oh my God". He then handed her a bag from Cartier, which had a bangle inside that he helped to place on her wrist.

Not one to scrimp on a luxury celebration for Gemma, Luca even hired a cellist to play music while the pair embraced and celebrated their love for one another.

Sharing some photos of the night which she won't forget in a hurry, she penned alongside it: "Finally official. Thank you @lucabish for such a special night!" alongside a heart emoji.

Their fellow Islanders rushed to celebrate them on their big news.

Winner Ekin-Su wrote: "Luca did well, congratulations," whilst Ikenna - who crashed out of the show early on into the series - also congratulated the pair on taking their romance to the next step.

Luca finally met Gemma's dad, Michael Owen, during a recent family holiday - and the dressage rider was thrilled with how it went, insisting it "couldn’t have gone better" and she was glad they bonded so well.

"It was so nice! We got away for four days, it was a bit of like, got a bit of content, bit of chill time but yeah it was a really nice environment for him to meet everyone. They all get on really well and how he was with my brothers and sisters as well, like, so cute!" she said, before adding: "Let’s be girlfriend and then we can talk about moving in together!"

Luca had previously teased he had big plans for him and Gemma and how he'd ask her to be official with him.
