Ex-Gogglebox star starts new life hundreds of miles away after family tragedy forced decision

Luca Bish has set his sights on Gemma Owen in the Love Island villa and it turns out he is no stranger to the limelight.The Love Island star, 23, has grown close to Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, 19, on the ITV2 dating show, with the pair even sharing a kiss in recent episodes. Gemma is yet to reveal who her famous dad is to her fellow Islanders, but it looks like Luca won't be fazed by the revelation, as the fishmonger has previously dated a Strictly Come Dancing star and a popular influencer.

Love Island is a show all about old fashioned romance - well, and looking your very best in as few clothes as possible. And viewers found themselves distracted from the 'can I pull you for a chat' footage on Sunday night by a rather saucy interference - Luca Bish's bulge.The distraction came as the 23 year old was sat at the firepit with fellow Islander Andrew Le Page, 27, discussing his partner Gemma Owen's ex-boyfriend Jacques O'Neill entering the villa as the latest bombshell.

Luca Bish is currently residing in the Love Island villa over in Mallorca, but back in Brighton the star has a stunning family abode filled with stylish decor.The 23 year old fishmonger, who has been compared to Westlife star Kian Egan, lives down on the south coast with his family, including older sister Claudia, who has been looking after his social media accounts while he's in the villa. On her own TikTok account, claudiaworks, she's given Love Island fans a sneak peek inside her and Luca's family home, leaving many stunned by the incredible property.

Love Island 2022 is well underway, with drama already happening and romances beginning to heat up in the iconic villa. A whole new batch of singletons have headed to Mallorca in search of long-lasting romance and while some seem to be forming connections, others haven't been so lucky.

With Love Island back on our screens, a whole host of singletons are looking to find love in the popular dating show’s new Majorcan villa. Among one of the contestants to join the lineup is Luca Bish, who has been coupled up with fellow Islander Paige Thorne since day one. And while the 23 year old may be on the lookout for love, before his time on the show, the Brighton-based fishmonger briefly dated a familiar face.

Love Island contestant Luca Bish has been making a strong impression in the brand new Majorcan villa so far, with the star setting his sights on the likes of Paige Thorne. But prior to the fishmonger's entrance into the hit ITV2 dating programme, he had a serious, long-term relationship with beauty influencer and tattoo artist Sophie Floyd. Luca, who has an array of tattoos, told The Sun that the pair had been together for four years after meeting at school in Brighton, but went their separate ways in 2021 after he realised there were things he "didn’t like and we drifted apart." But in an unearthed clip from Sophie's YouTube channel, it appears there may be more to the story than originally stated.

Love Island's Luca Bish has confessed to lying about his job as a fishmonger to impress the ladies. The 23-year-old from Brighton said that while he has always been a faithful boyfriend, he has been known to tell a few white lies while chatting up women he fancies. Speaking to OK! about whether he has ever lied to a woman, Luca admitted: “Only ones I meet at nightclubs.

Rina Sawayama has discussed how she was inspired by the “fake stories” on Taylor Swift‘s ‘Folklore’ for her new album ‘Hold The Girl’.The singer’s follow-up to 2020 debut album ‘SAWAYAMA’ is due out on September 2, via Dirty Hit, and was previewed last month with the single ‘This Hell’.In a new interview with Rolling Stone UK about the album, Sawayama spoke of being struck by the way Swift told stories of other people on her 2020 lockdown album, moving away from the autobiographical work of her past.“I remember when Taylor Swift released Folklore, I was like, ‘This bitch is writing about fake stories and she just wrote a whole album. If she can do it, I need to do it,’” Sawayama said, revealing that it was too painful to write songs about her own experiences while going through therapy.Discussing how she wants to keep her personal issues out of her songs for the time being, the singer added: “For me, it’s important that the listener is able to listen to it as a pop record first without that background, [and] make their own feelings about it.
