Love Island UK 2022 reunion: Luca Bish admits he’s finally met Gemma Owen’s famous soccer star dad Michael Owen over FaceTime

Love IslandUK star Luca Bish has finally met Gemma Owen’s famous soccer star father Michael “over FaceTime” after the pair came second during the show’s finale.

The fishmonger revealed the news during the show’s highly-anticipated reunion this month, when asked by host Laura Whitmore if he’d come face-to-face with the athlete.

“I know you’ve met her mum, have you met her dad yet?” Laura asked, referring to her meeting de ella with Gemma’s mother Louise during the Meet the Parents episode last month.

Luca replied: “Not yet, we’ve had a little FaceTime together and that’s it!”

Laura then joked with Luca about the comparisons between himself and Michael, jesting: “Was it like looking at yourself in the future?”

But this didn’t go down too well with Gemma, who said she was repulsed by anyone saying there was a resemblance.

“I can’t see it at all, do you know?” she said, burying her head in her hands. “…And it actually makes me feel a little bit sick thinking about it as well.”

During the famous Meet the Parents segment on this show, Gemma’s mum Louise told her that Luca looked like a younger version of the ex-England striker.

Laura went on to laugh: “They say that we all have that complex where you go for one of your parents!”

Michael Owen is an English ex-professional footballer who played as a striker for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Stoke City.

He also played for the English national team.

Michael’s name was barely mentioned during the season, but Gemma did briefly bring up her dad during a chat with Luca at the start of the season.

“Who do you feel like your family would get on best with out of all the boys in here?” Luca asked her.

She replied, “You. Because you’re sporty and you’re into football and into racing. I think my dad would have stuff in common with you.”

“Would your dad and me go out and do things together?” Lucas replied. “Or does he not get close?”

Gemma responded, “He was quite close with my first boyfriend and I think he appreciates a guy who is into sports and all that kind of stuff.

“So I heard you like talking about football and racing and all that, so I’m like, hmm.”

Luca replied, “I enjoy playing football. I know what I’m talking about with football as well. Let’s see if he knows what he’s talking about.”
