Love Island fans hatch cunning plan to get Luca kicked out as family apologises

Love Island 's Luca Bish has seen his popularity plummet this week after a series of run-ins with his fellow Islanders.

The one-time favourite to win clashed with partner Gemma Owen after he saw footage of her 'flirting' with Billy Brown at Movie Night. He also butted heads with Andrew Le Page after he accused Andrew's girlfriend Tasha Ghouri of using him.

Things kicked off during a game of Suck and Blow where the Islanders passed a card to each other with their mouths, and whoever dropped it was forced to do a dare. Asked to name the person he thought was 'riding on their partner's coattails', Luca chose Tasha, stating he thinks she's the one most likely with her partner to win.

Best mate Dami Hope - who chose Andrew as the one who's been 'walked over the most' - echoed the sentiment, telling Luca, "You know what you need to do."

Overhearing the conversation, Andrew let rip and accused them of being 'fake'.

"Apparently, you would say everything to my face and obviously you haven’t," he raged.

"Both of you said we'll say it to you face. You are suppose to be my mates."

Defending himself, Luca insisted: "Bring Tasha over here and I'll tell it to her."

But Andrew wasn't having it. "We are meant to be best mates and you clearly talk s*** behind my back," he fumed. "I don't give a f***. I'm just pissed off that it was you and Luca. Just be real."

Luca also copped a backlash for laughing as the other Islanders' dramas played out at Movie Night, before quickly changing his tune when Gemma and Billy's friendship was brought up.

Ranting that he was "f***ing fuming", he raged: "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. I can't be with someone like that, I'm sorry."

But Gemma refused to back down, telling Luca to 'get over' himself and calmly insisting: "I don't think any lines have been crossed."

And as fans turned on him, the fishhmonger's family went to the unusual lengths of issuing an apology on his behalf and begged trolls to stop with their abhorrent death threats.

Posting on his Instagram, sister Claudia Bish, 27, wrote: “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 night, but we do understand he is in an intense environment where his emotions are heightened.

“Last night was not reflective of the boy we all know and love at home."

She added: “Please be aware death threats and nasty comments totally overstep the mark and something we as a family should not have to endure, 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.”

And last night fans were asked to vote for their favourite Islander, and within minutes a plan to get Luca voted off had gone viral on Twitter with viewers agreeing to vote strategically for Andrew and Tash.

One wrote: "I can’t believe I’m saying this. But I’m voting for Tasha and Andrew next time. I don’t like the way they’re treated in there and the other islanders are too smug about them being in the bottom."

Another added: "I beg y'all to vote Luca down to the bottom three I beg you," while a third said: "Can we just vote out Dami & Luca I actually do not want to see them on my screen anymore. I’m done with them bullying Tasha."

"Everyone vote Andrew & Tasha so Luca can be in the bottom and Tasha can say don't cry Luca you have so much to be happy about!" another urged.

And one furious fan added: "Breaking my silence on this year’s love island to say VOTE TASHA AND ANDREW SO WE CAN GET LUCA OUT."
