Love Island’s Gemma Owen and Luca Bish are ‘closer than ever’ after Paige’s ‘showmance’ suggestions

Love Island runners-up Gemma Owen and Luca Bish are ‘closer than ever’ after co-star Paige Thorne suggested that one of the show’s remaining couples is a ‘showmance’.

Earlier this week, paramedic Paige, 24, revealed that not all of those who seem to still be together since leaving the Majorcan villa are what they seem, suggesting some may be holding the cameras afloat.

But an inside source has hit back against the possibility that it’s 19-year-old Gemma and her fishmonger boyfriend Luca, 23, who describe the pair as going from strength to strength.

In answer to the question, ‘Who’s the fakest couple to come out of Love Island this year?’ Paige says on the Saving Grace podcast: ‘All I want to say about this is, wait how many couples are left now? Three?

“Really, it’s only two. But that’s a secret I’ll never reveal.’

Speculation arose as to who the ‘fake’ couple was still running their relationship with Love Island fans three months after leaving the villa.

But an insider has maintained that this doesn’t apply to the likes of Gemma and Luca.

Speak with the mirrorsaid a source close to the couple: ‘There’s been a lot of talk and rumors about a show among this year’s contestants, but it’s certainly not Luca and Gemma that everyone is talking about.

“Luca and Gemma are closer than ever, they don’t feel the need to gag it on social media every day.

“Both have a lot to do, but they stay together most nights and when they need to be apart they are constantly on the phone with each other.”

MailOnline has reached out to Gemma and Luca representatives for comment.

It comes not long after Gemma revealed that Luca is a hit with dad Michael – and confirms she’s in talks for her own TV show.

The PrettyLittleThing ambassador told MailOnline in her first interview since leaving the ITV2 villa that Luca has quickly become part of the family.

Speaking to MailOnline from Seville, the Love Island runner-up said: ‘Luca fits in well and he also gets along well with my siblings, my mother and my father.

“His family is nice too – I get on very well with all of them and have a good relationship with his sister.

‘I really enjoy spending time with them in Brighton when I can and the same when he comes to Cheshire.

“As for my relationship and Luca, things are going very well. Luckily we can spend time together so the relationship is going really well and it’s all positive.’
