Love Island's Gemma Owen 'feels sick' as she's told fans think Luca looks just like dad

Love Island star Gemma Owen 'felt sick' at the thought of people comparing her beau Luca Bish's looks to her father Michael.

The international dressage rider and the fishmonger sat down for a chat with Laura Whitmore during the highly-anticipated reunion show on Sunday.

Luca revealed he had a FaceTime chat with former footballer Michael after leaving the villa, but the conversation quickly switched to their looks.

"I know you've met her mum but have you met her dad yet," Laura asked, to which Luca replied: "Not yet. We've had a little FaceTime together."

The ITV2 presenter asked the Brighton-based star if chatting with Michael was like looking at himself in the future.

Apparently, Luca and Gemma don't see the resemblance. Gemma even covered her face with her hand and whispered: "Oh god."

"I can't see it at all, you know and it actually makes me feel a little bit sick thinking about it," the 19-year-old told the presenter.

The public as well as Gemma's mum Louise previously compared the fishmonger to Michael.

During the Meet The Parents special, Gemma and Luca sat down with their parents when Louise brought up the resemblance between Luca and Michael.

She said: "It's all over social media that Luca looks like your dad."

As Gemma cringed at the comment and Luca laughed it off, viewers were left stunned at the awkward comparison, which had some uncomfortable implications.

Fans had been using a picture of Michael on a football pitch holding a young Gemma in his arms as the comparison picture.

Meanwhile, while Luca and Gemma were being interviewed by Laura, fans claimed the two looked 'awkward' with each other.

"Luca and Gemma aren’t compatible at all and it shows," one viewer claimed.

An unimpressed fan wrote: "Gemma & Luca do not looks ‘cosey’ lool she still looks uncomfortable. They aren’t lasting."
