Love Island star Luca Bish jokes he’s worried he’ll be dumped by Gemma Owen after revealing one of her biggest icks
LOVE Island’s Luca Bish joked he’d be out of favour with partner Gemma Owen after showcasing one of her well-publicised ‘icks’.
The Brighton fishmonger, 23, – who has scored the approval of the dressage star’s famous family – has not yet asked her to be his girlfriend.
He quipped their relationship status may now be in jeopardy after his seemingly innocuous latest Instagram snap.
Luca uploaded an image of him posing against a wall, looking stylish in a white top, oatmeal-colour jacket and black joggers.
He added a streetwise edge with a pair of sunglasses and bright white trainers.
Yet as he uploaded his snap, he spotted a white sock peeking out over his ankle.

This prompted him to write in his caption: “Oh no.. is that a sock visible in my trainer @gemowen_1 
”
He was referring to the fact that Gemma previously told in her Love Island opening VT how she thinks wearing socks with bright white sneakers is a deal-breaker.
She told the camera: “A lot of things give me the ick.
“Bad hygiene, someone whose breath smells, whose hair isn’t nice or who doesn’t look after themselves.

“A few clothing items can give me the ick, like someone who wears trainers with long socks!”
Fans were quick to pick up on Luca’s banter, with one giggling: “The caption 
.”
Another noted: “Pray that she doesn’t see the socks Luca 
” as a third put: “Hahaha not the socks 
.”
One then confirmed: “I think that is a visible sock 
.”
Another surmised: “Don’t give her the ick
.”
For his part, in his own VT before he met Gemma, Luca disclosed how his ‘ick’ was: “A girl that talks about themselves or what they’ve got.”
The pair were one of the most solid couples in the villa but often spoke about how they never put a grandiose label on their relationship.
That still hasn’t happened according to Gemma, who slammed Luca for delaying making things official between them.
The Love Island stars have been romantically involved since meeting on the hit dating show, but while some of their co-stars have obtained the exclusive status, Gemma and Luca are not yet boyfriend and girlfriend.

Gemma was asked in an interview when Luca, 23, is planning on making things official between the pair, after hinting about it on his Instagram story.
She said there have been “no updates,” and added that she’s “still waiting” for Luca to take things to the next level.
