Luca Bish shared his Michael Owen wish on last night's episode of Love Island.
The fishmonger is currently coupled up with the former Liverpool FC striker's daughter, Gemma, on this season of the popular dating programme. Gemma has barely referenced her famous dad throughout her time on the show as his identity has only been teased in conversations with the girls and Casa Amor contestant, Jack Keating.
However, the couple finally addressed the BT Sports pundit when they went on their first date in the latest edition of the show. The two enjoyed a drink overlooking the ocean when Gemma claimed Luca would get on with her family.

The Team GB dressage competitor explained Luca has the same sense of humour as her dad - and Luca wished the comparisons didn't stop there.
He joked: "If only I could kick a ball as good as him." The two have endured a rollercoaster relationship in the Majorcan villa, but fans now seem to be fully behind their romance and bookies have tipped them to be one of this season's finalists.
Betting comparison site Oddschecker has Gemma and Luca as the second favourites to win with odds at 5/2. It is a tradition on Love Island that the finalists welcome their parents and family into the villa to introduce them to their new partners.
However, the 42-year-old has said he has no intention of appearing on the show. He told Sky Sports At The Races: "My wife will do that duty. I'll represent the horses and she'll represent the daughter. He added: "I don't know what I'll get from Box To Box. But I know what I'm going to get from my daughter.
"I've fathered her for 19 years so I'm pretty sure what I'm going to get from her."
