Gemma Owen shares a loved up post with Luca Bish from Love Island’s reunion

They appeared in glum spirits as they headed home after filming Love Island’s reunion on Thursday.

But Gemma Owen and Luca Bish put on a united front on Friday, as the 19-year-old dressage champ shared a loved up post from the filming to Instagram.

The Love Island runners up wrapped an arm around one another, as fishmonger Luca, 23, beamed for a chic snap with Michael Owen’s daughter.

‘Reunion night with this one / It was so good to see everyone again! Don’t forget to watch it on @loveisland aftersun Sunday night @itv2’, wrote the star.

Gemma looked stunning as she donned a satin, cowl neck midi dress in a chocolate brown, with a thigh grazing slit detail.

Her brunette tresses were pulled into a sleek high ponytail, as she opted for a full palette of makeup.

Adding strappy gold heels, the beauty opted for her signature collection of gold jewellery. 

Meanwhile, Luca went for a pair of black trousers and a complementing shirt, adding Christian Louboutin trainers. 

While the first shot showed the new couple beam at the camera, Luca laughed as he grabbed Gemma’s leg in the second, while the beauty pouted and fell into his arms.

And further solidifying that the couple are very much ‘on’, the Brighton native tagged Gemma in an Instagram Story on Friday evening, as he attempted to sell her on his home city.

‘Am I selling Brighton to you yet @gemowen_1?’, quipped Luca as he posted a video of horses. 

But it comes after fishmonger Luca admitted to a squabble at the Love Island reunion while they headed home from Elstree Studios, both looking sombre as they were snapped in the car.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Luca made a telling comment to a photographer waiting outside the venue who spotted some tension between the pair.

The photographer said to Luca: ‘You’ve got your hands full there!’

Luca was then said to have replied: ‘Oh don’t mate! She’s got the right hump with me!’ 

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Luca Bish and Gemma Owen for comment. 

It comes after a cryptic post on Luca’s Twiter account on Friday as he admitted that Love Island was one of the ‘most challenging’ experiences he’s ever had.

Sharing a photo of him and Gemma landing at Stansted Airport from Mallorica, Luca wrote: ‘Back to the real world, thank you so much for all the support you’ve shown.

‘Love Island was the best and also most challenging experience all rolled into one for me.

‘I’ve left with life lessons, best friends, and a beautiful girl by my side. So ready for the next chapter ❤️’. 

Luca and Gemma were both seen looking very serious after appearing in jovial spirits on their way to filming.

Luca looked subdued as he sat with his hand over his mouth as he sat beside his partner Gemma in a car on their way home from the reunion.

Meanwhile, Gemma appeared concerned as she sat with her hand on her forehead and her other arm crossed around her.

Earlier in the day, the couple were seen in much better spirits as they laughed and smiled in a video shared to Gemma’s Instagram Stories as they headed to filming.

The couple, who came in second on the ITV2 dating show, were joined at the reunion show by an array of their co-stars and host Laura Whitmore and voiceover man Iain Stirling.

Laura, 37, looked effortlessly glamorous in a navy blue dress as she sat in the back of a car with her comedian husband Iain, 34.

The Irish presenter styled her golden locks in a chic up-do and accentuated her good looks with a natural make-up palette.

Iain, who does Love Island’s voiceover, kept it casual in a black hoodie and sported a pair of clear-rimmed glasses for the outing. 

Paige Thorne and Adam Collard, who came in fifth and just missed out on the final, appeared to be in good spirits as they headed home after the reunion show.

Adam, 27, kept it casual in a white T-shirt as he sat in the back of a car with his paramedic partner, 24.

Fitness coach Adam could be seen leaning across to hold hands with Paige, after he confirmed they were still together when they were rocked by rumours of a split.

The couple were driven home by their fellow Islander Antigoni Buxton, who entered the Mallorca villa as a bombshell. 

The singer, 26, flaunted her natural good looks with a dramatic slick of eyeliner and a touch of glittering gold eyeshadow.

She styled her golden curls in a loose fashion and was seen waving as they left the reunion show. 

Liam Llewellyn, who quit the show during the first week, was also seen joining his co-stars Jay Younger and Ikenna Ekwonna for the reunion afterparty.

The trio appeared to be in jovial spirits as they all shared a ride together, with Jay, 28, and Liam, 22, laughing on the back seats while Ikenna, 23, looked out the window.

Also seen sharing a car ride after filming were Casa Amor bombshells Billy Brown, Chyna Mills, Josh Le Grove and Summer Botwe.

Josh and Summer are believed to have started dating since leaving the villa, after hinting there was a spark between them during their Aftersun appearance.

Also at the reunion show were Casa Amor’s Coco Lodge and Cheyanne Kerr, who both cut elegant figures.

Cheyanne, 23, flaunted her incredible figure in a hot pink mini dress and styled her platinum blonde locks in a blunt bob for the outing.

Coco, 27, sported a sensational mint green ensemble with keyhole cut-outs that gave a flash of her washboard abs.

Their fellow Casa Amor bombshells Molly Salmon and Jazmine Nichol were also seen laughing as they shared a ride following the reunion show.

Meanwhile, Ronan Keating’s son Jack looked suave in grey trousers and a black zip-up jacket as he sat in the back of a car with Danica Taylor, who left the villa in a couple with Jamie Allen. 

A group of the Love Island cast – including Danica, Jack, Molly, Jazmine, Billy and Ikenna – headed out partying after filming as they shared snaps of their fun-filled night to Instagram.

It comes after the Love Island 2022 cast took to their Instagram accounts earlier on Thursday to share glammed-up snaps as they headed to filming. 

Gemma took to her Stories as she travelled in a car to the reunion show with fishmonger Luca, 23, by her side.

She looked beautiful in a silk black slip dress and had her brunette tresses swept up into a sleek pony tail, a hairstyle which Luca complimented in the clip.

Luca looked smart in a black shirt as he posed next to Gemma while she filmed them together.

Gemma had also showed off her getting ready process as she captioned a stunning selfie ‘Love Island Reunion Glam’ and asked fans how she should do her hair.

And winners Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti were dressed to the nines as they posed for a glamorous picture together ahead of filming the reunion show on Thursday night.

The Turkish actress, looked incredible in a busty white dress ahead of heading to the set as she cosied up to the Italian hunk, also 27, who was dapper in an open shirt.

Also getting their glam on before the show were the other three finalist couples Tasha Ghouri, Andrew Le Page, Dami Hope, Indiyah Polack, Gemma Owen and Luca Bish – who reunited on social media after claims of him being snubbed on her Instagram. 

Ekin wowed in her revealing number that had a thigh-split and showed off her tan and was teamed with bow silver heels.

She wore her honey tresses in loose waves over her shoulders while opting for a glamorous makeup look as she wrote in the caption: ‘Guess who’s back!’ 

Elsewhere, dancer Tasha, 23, showed off her abs in a silver co-ord as she slipped into a crop top and high-waisted trousers with belt detailing.   

Beside her estate agent Andrew Le Page, 27, held her and looked smart in a white T-shirt and navy chinos.

In a second shot shared to the their Instagram they packed on the PDA with a steamy kiss. 

Former hotel worker Indiyah, 23, took to her Stories too as she posed in a striking orange leather and feather dress while having hr hair and makeup done ahead of the reunion filming.

Earlier on Thursday, Gemma posted her first Instagram picture since leaving the Love Island villa on Monday evening – and it didn’t feature her beau Luca.

The Love Island runner up posed for the solo shot after returning to her family home in North Wales, Lower Soughton Hall, a Grade II listed manor house near Mold.

While Luca was notably absent from the snap, he did comment on the post – finally admitting he was ‘punching’ with Gemma, after insisting he wasn’t. 

It came after Love Island fans spotted an apparent snub towards Luca from Gemma’s family on social media.

Following Gemma and Luca’s second-place finish, the fishmonger’s family were quick to congratulate the couple, posting a snap of them together with a gushing caption.

It read: ‘Thank you SO much from the bottom of our hearts for all of the support you’ve shown this gorgeous couple. So excited to continue watching your journey from the outside. You really did win by finding each other.’ 

This was in stark contrast to Gemma’s Instagram, which noticeably only posted solo snaps of the brunette beauty in the lead-up and following the final, with beau Luca noticeably absent. 

Ekin-Su and Davide were crowned the winners of Love Island 2022 on Monday night, and voting figures have revealed they secured more than half of the public vote. 

Across Sunday and Monday, viewers were able to vote for their favourite couple to be crowned as winners and go home with the £50,000 cash prize – which for the first time ever wasn’t offered as a ‘split or steal’ deal.

And final voting figures released by ITV have revealed that fan favourites Ekin-Su and Davide, both 27, secured a staggering 63.69 per cent of the public vote.

They won the ITV2 dating contest by a landslide as runners-up Gemma and Luca secured just 14.47 per cent of the viewers’ final votes.

Gemma and Luca followed behind as runners-up, while Indiyah and Dami came in third place and Tasha and Andrew were fourth.

After Ekin-Su and Davide’s landslide victory, the Essex-based actress has already been tipped to become the show’s highest earner in history.

She has already scooped £25,000 in prize money, and a source has told MailOnline she’s already being inundated with lucrative offers, meaning she could surpass multi-millionaire Molly-Mae Hague, 23, who was runner-up on the 2019 series, to become the show’s richest ever star.

Ekin-Su, who entered the villa on the third day as a bombshell, has already had a taste of the spotlight, having starred in Turkish soap operas and reality shows before entering the Love Island villa, and the brunette is now set to cash in with an estimated £1 million payday.

A source close to Ekin-Su told MailOnline: ‘We’ve never seen the likes of the deals that are already coming through the door. It’s not just your typical reality TV fodder. 

‘She’s absolutely inundated with lucrative offers from brands and they’re prepared to pay big money to get her onboard. She’s going to be the new Molly-Mae Hague!’
