Love Island's Luca Bish has made an admission about his partner's father, Michael Owen. Luca and Gemma Owen finished runners up on the I TV2 programme.
The couple had been together from early on in the series and they faced scrutiny mainly due to Gemma's famous footballer dad. However, Luca has admitted he has never seen Michael Owen play football.
The Liverpool Echo reports that the Love Island contestant has not seen the football legend, who played for Liverpool, Manchester United and the English national team, play.

After Gemma's appearance on the show, fans were dying to see when she would name-drop him and blow the other islanders away. After a brief moment in the girls' dressing room where she addressed the topic, it became clear the islanders knew her famous roots.
Some viewers started to speculate Luca was only with Gemma for her famous father and joked he was dating her as a way to get to him. Following the final, Luca was asked about Gemma's father where he made a surprising admittance.
Fans have claimed an uncanny resemblance between Luca and her father, with some declaring them as twins but Luca thinks otherwise. In his exit interview, Luca said to Gemma : "I think when he was playing football, I was really young so I don’t think I've ever seen your dad.
I've seen him now presenting and stuff but I don't think I look anything like him there but maybe when he was younger." Gemma added: "You need to see a picture of him when he was younger, side by side."
Doubling down he wasn't aware of the resemblance, Luca added: "I've had nothing to go off. I've had people tell me about the goals he scored and all that."
The couple recently posted snaps of their journey back home as they embraced each other at the airport. Several shots were posted and reshared on their Instagram profile where they both looked thrilled it was "home time."
