LOVE Island’s Luca Bish has revealed he has a secret crush on a former Islander – and she shares a striking resemblance to Gemma Owen.
The fishmonger – who is currently coupled up with Michael Owen’s daughter – spilled the beans on tonight’s Unseen Bits.
The Islanders took part in another Beach Hut Bonanza, where contestants were asked about their celebrity crush.
Without hesitation, the Brighton lad was quick to list his ideal woman.
Luca, 23, said he has a big crush on ex-Islander Maura Higgins, who appeared on on the ITV2 dating show in 2019.
The Irish beauty, 31, shares a similar resemblance to international dressage rider Gemma, 19.

He also admitted Brassic actress Michelle Keegan and former Towie favourite Gemma Collins are also on his celebrity crush list.
Speaking from the Beach Hut, Luca revealed: “Maura Higgins, Michelle Keegan and Gemma Collins merged into one.”
But it looks like Luca only has eyes for Gemma after nearly dropping the L-bomb on last night’s episode.
As the pair cuddled up in bed after being reunited following Casa Amor, Luca, nearly declared his love for the dressage rider.

Instead, he held back and settled for telling her he “really liked her”, much to the relief of many, who felt 4 weeks is too soon to fall in love.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “Luca wanted to say I love you then!!!!”
Another said: “Luca don’t even think about it, I’m not trynna to hear you say I love you to Gemma right now.”
A third posted: “Luca definitely wanted to say ‘I love you’.”
It wasn’t a fairytale episode for the couple last night, despite their reunion after four days apart.
Luca got upset at new boy Billy flirting with Gemma by the pool, walking away and admitting it was difficult to watch.

Even though Gemma reassured him that she had no romantic interest in Billy, Luca found it hard to ignore.
And he wasn’t pleased to hear she shared a bed with Josh in Casa Amor, even if their connection was purely platonic.
However, all seemed to be forgiven later in the day as the pair snuggled up under the covers and kissed and cuddled.
