Luca Bish appears to have welcomed a new addition to his family.
The Celebrity MasterChef star was going about his day as he prepared to gather with his family for Christmas but it almost ended in disaster. Luca, who often keeps a low profile on social media took to his Instagram Stories to reveal that while taking his sister to the airport, he had to make a sudden stop for a rather sweet reason.
While out driving, he and his sibling came across an adorable stray puppy roaming at the side of a busy motorway, risking injury to itself and road users. Taking to Instagram, Luca's sister shared a sweet video of the dog after he made the decision to pull over and rescue it.
In the clip, Luca was seen attempting to remove the collar of the adorable dog having noticed that there was a phone number for the owner, should the dog ever get lost. Captioning the clip, Luca's sister penned: "Luca is taking me to the airport and spotted this little baby looking lost on the side of the motorway so pulled over.

Just hours after his sweet gesture, it was reported that Luca had signed up for Love Island: All Stars, which returns to screens in January.
The star became a household name after appearing on series eight of the programme, alongside the likes of Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha Ghouri and her now boyfriend, Andrew Le Page, Jacques O'Neill, Dami Hope, Indiyah Polack and winners Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
He went on to find love with Michael Owen's daughter but their romance came to an abrupt end, leaving Luca blindsided when she announced that the pair had split, without consulting him. However, TV bosses are hoping that he will "spill the beans" on their split when the show returns. Neither Luca or Gemma have spoken publicly about their split since she announced it.
A source told The Sun that he is hoping that his appearance on All Stars will "rewrite the narrative" that he faced after leaving the show, with many claiming he had been "controlling" towards Gemma – he later apologised for any upset he may have caused to viewers.
Luca had been due to appear in an another episode of Celebrity MasterChef but later expressed his heartache when the show was pulled due to allegations surrounding host Gregg Wallace – all of which he strongly denies. Taking to social media to address the episode which featured Emmerdale's Amy Walsh and his pal, The Wanted's Max George, he said: "Christmas is cancelled. Gutted our Christmas special has been put on hold but hope to be on your screens again soon."
His fans were understandably gutted by the news, with one follower commented: "No we need you on the tv luca." Whie another wrote: "Very disappointed. You and Amy are such a joy to watch together."
