Love Island fans stunned as Luca nearly drops the L-bomb on Gemma Owen as they snuggle in bed | The Sun

LOVE Island viewers were shocked to hear Luca Bish come close to dropping the L-bomb on Gemma Owen last night.

As the pair cuddled up in bed after being reunited following Casa Amor, Brighton lad Luca, 23, nearly declared his love for the dressage rider, 19.

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 rn."

A third posted: "Luca definitely wanted to say 'I love you'."

As a fourth typed: "Luca is dying to say 'I love you' to Owen for sureeee."

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.
