Love Island is back, and a fresh cast of new islanders are in the villa hoping to find love.

The sexy singletons are spending the summer in a luxury Majorcan villa–while reality TV fans tune in every night to find out who will hit it off and who will simply be pied off.

The first wave of Love Island contestants coupled up and started getting to know each other. But with heads already turned, how long will the couples last?

One of the original islanders is Luca Bish–find out everything we know about him so far…

Who is Luca Bish?

Luca Bish is a 23-year-old fishmonger from Brighton.

He’s headed to the villa this summer because of how successful couples from previous seasons have been, as he says: “When you actually look back at Love Island, you can see how many couples it’s genuinely made.

“I don’t know how many kids Love Island has made but there are a few aren’t there?”

Luca’s single at the moment after a four-year relationship ended last year. He said: “I was enjoying being in a relationship, there were just things I didn’t like and we drifted apart.”

The Brightonian is hoping to bring “a lot of laughter” to Love Island, adding: “I like having a bit of fun, I’m not someone who takes everything too seriously. I want to have a good time there and make sure everyone else is - you don’t want anyone sulking about.”

His family and friends would describe him as  a class clown or an idiot,” but he says, “I’m smart but I don’t take anything seriously.”

Luca prefers to meet girls “out and about,” and says, “I think when you go looking for it, it’s not as easy though, it’s like you’re too desperate for it.

“If I think you’re the one or I like you, I’ll take you out on a date but other than that, if we talk and I don’t like where it’s going - then I won’t be throwing out dates.”

Luca may be treading on toes in the villa, as he describes himself as “proper competitive.” He says: “I hate losing. I’m not a homewrecker but if it’s early doors and I like that girl then I’ll go for her.”

Love Island is on every day at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV hub. Episodes are available the following morning on Britbox.
