Love Island star Gemma Owen has been hit with claims she’s pretending to like Luca – but her family have now responded.
Michael Owen’s daughter was coupled up with fishmonger Luca Bish in the villa before bombshell Danica Taylor swooped in to couple up with him on Sunday night (June 19).
Despite this, smitten Luca insisted he only has eyes for Gemma and squashed any chances of a spark with Danica – much to her dismay.
