Who is Luca Bish? Meet Love Island 2022 contestant and fishmonger

Since then, the pair have been pretty much inseparable - aside from a few little bumps along the way.

First, the couple were threatened when Gemma's ex, Jacques O’Neill arrived at the villa. Then, they were briefly separated when newcomer Danica Taylor chose Luca in a recoupling.

But despite these challenges, the couple have stayed strong and loyal throughout it all - so far.

Read on to learn more about Luca Bish and his life before entering the villa.

Why did Luca Bish want to take part in Love Island?

Some may look at Love Island with a bit of cynicism – is it really about finding love, or finding fame?

Well, it sounds like Luca was inspired by how genuine previous seasons' couples were when he applied for the competition this year.

"When you actually look back at Love Island, you can see how many couples it’s genuinely made," he said. "I don’t know how many kids Love Island has made but there are a few, aren’t there?"

Is Luca on Instagram?

Yep! Clearly a popular face with viewers, Luca is on his way to crossing the 200k followers mark (he's @lucabish if you want to help him get there quicker). It looks like he only joined the platform just before entering the villa so don't expect too much content - yet at least.

What is Luca Bish looking for in a partner?

Luca explained that he had come out of a four-year relationship about a year ago.

"I was enjoying being in a relationship, there were just things I didn’t like and we drifted apart," he said. He added that he preferred to meet potential partners when he was out and about.

"I think when you go looking for it, it’s not as easy though, it’s like you’re too desperate for it," he said. "If I think you’re the one or I like you, I’ll take you out on a date but other than that, if we talk and I don’t like where it’s going – then I won’t be throwing out dates."
