Love Island star Luca Bish’s family have taken to Instagram on his account to say they don’t condone his possessive behaviour towards partner Gemma Owen.
Fans of the show watched the Islanders partake in the Movie Night Challenge last night on Sunday, which saw Luca begin to question Gemma Owen’s loyalty after seeing clips of her ‘flirting’ with Billy Brown, as well as footage of him encouraging his fellow boys in Casa Amor.
Viewers then called for Gemma to break off her relationship with the fishmonger, leading to the star’s family posting a statement saying they “don’t condone” his behaviour.

They claimed his behaviour is not reflective of the boy they ‘know and love at home’ but noted that his Love Island experience is an intense one.
‘I want to apologise on behalf of Luca for his insensitive reaction on last night’s episode. I know that when he watches it back, he will be embarrassed and deeply apologetic.
‘We as his family don’t condone his behaviour last might, but we do understand he is in an intense environment where his actions are heightened. Last night was not reflective of the boy we all know and love at home.

‘Please be aware death threats and nasty comments totally overstep the mark and something we has a family should not have to ensure, for this reason we have turned off the comments and messages.
‘For all those who have sent messages checking in on us, we would like to thank you very much and we see you.’

The second half of Movie Night saw a clip entitled Good Bill Hunting show Billy and Gemma chatting in the villa.
Luca fumed as he watched the clip: ‘Just bring me a f**king bird in and watch.
‘Trust me when I say, if she wants to f**king play games with me, I’ll play with it.’
He added: ‘I can’t be with someone like that, I’m sorry.’
Later that evening after the films aired, Luca pulled Gemma for a chat, saying: ‘You were entertaining it,’ to which Gemma replied: ‘No I wasn’t.’
Viewers at home fumed watching the scenes, arguing Gemma had done nothing wrong and that Luca was displaying ‘gaslighting’ behaviour.
One fan said: ‘Luca gives abusive partner vibes, GEMMA GET ON YOUR HORSE AND GALLOP AWAY.’
Another agreed, saying: ‘Nah someone needs to sit me down and explain what exactly Luca has to be that fuming about? He should’ve left with Jacques.’
