Love Island star Luca Bish looks unrecognisable in old snap as fans turn on fishmonger over Tasha row

Fans of Love Island have been left bemused after an old screenshot of fishmonger and contestant Luca Bish with long hair resurfaced on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old is currently coupled up with Gemma Owen but has faced a backlash in the last few days over his antics.

After first annoying viewers by his sulking after the 'Mad Movies' twist, fans are now accusing him and fellow contestant Dami Hope of bullying Tasha Ghouri with their actions.

In the last seven days, the show has gained over 3,000 complaints to Ofcom and caused Luca's family to issue an apology on his behalf.

But viewers on social media have now discovered some old photos of Luca before he entered the villa.

One photo is a screengrab from a YouTube video where he documents his journey to get veneers in Turkey.

If you didn't know it was him, you wouldn't be able to tell.

The discovery comes amid bullying accusations being fired at both Dami and Luca for their actions towards dancer Tasha.

In the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, Dami revealed he chose Tasha because she usually "gets away with a lot of stuff".

Meanwhile, Luca said: "I could give you a list, but I'll let it go for today. It's just a game."

Later on in the episode, Dami and Luca both apologised to the dancer.

However, some viewers branded the apology fake, and claimed the boys were told to say sorry by producers.

And their antics have not gone down well with Louise Owen - the mother of Luca's current partner Gemma!
