Love Island's Luca Bish couldn't resist making a cheeky dig at Michael Owen after being left out of a family photo.
The 23-year-old fishmonger jetted off on holiday with the Owen family after his stint in the villa, which saw him coming runner-up alongside Gemma.
He appeared confident in his approach at bonding with Gemma's famous footballer father Michael, calling him out for being left off a family photo, Mirror UK reports.

The Love Island runner-up commented on Michael's post which showed the football legend posing with his wife Louise, and children Jessica, 12, Emily, 14, and James, 16.
Michael captioned the shot: "Family -1" in reference to Gemma, 19, being absent from the snap
Luca was quick to also mark himself as part of the family, writing in the comment section: " -2."
Gemma, meanwhile, typed: "I was there for 4 days and you wait til I leave to get a family picture" (sic).
Love Island fans loved Luca's cheeky jibe, with one writing: "@lucabish ain’t family till @gemowen_1 has a ring on it!".
Another added: "if only we all had your confidence in life", while a third chimed: "Calm down. You're not even her boyfriend".
Luca has already seemingly already impressed Gemma's mum Louise - revealing all about the seal of approval from Michael's childhood sweetheart in a recent Instagram Live with Gemma's ex-boyfriend Jacques.
When quizzed by his rugby player pal, who recently apologised following bullying claims, he joked: "Yeah mate, it's coming. I'm just waiting on written consent from her mum aren't I?"
Luca added: "Louise is lovely."
Despite finishing runners-up on the Virgin Media show earlier this month, Luca and Gemma are still yet to make things official and refer to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend respectively.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on Thursday night, the reality TV star shared a clip of himself and Gemma enjoying a romantic stroll together as they headed out for night out together in Portugal.
Dressed in a white T-shirt, dark jacket and Ray Ban sunglasses, Luca walked ahead of his possible-future girlfriend - who looked stunning in dark shades and a figure-hugging brown midi dress.
"Mission 'ask Gem to be my girlfriend' is in motion," the Brighton boy told his Instagram followers in the caption to the snippet.
In the brief video clip, Luca can be heard saying: "We're going for an evening stroll....with me girlfriend...PSYCH!"
