Luca Bish's family issue statement as fans concerned about All Stars appearance

Luca Bish is looking for love again on Love Island: All Stars, but fans were worried the former fishmonger didn't seem himself after the show's debut on ITV on Monday

Luca Bish's family has issued a statement responding to viewers who are worried about him on Love Island: All Stars.

The former fishmonger, 25, is looking for love again on the sexy singleton series after making his debut on Love Island in 2022. Luca wasted no time in updating viewers on his past experience in last night's show, sniping that his relationship with former Islander, Gemma Owen "lasted three months too long".

However, viewers thought something was off about his appearance as one took to Instagram, musing: "I really hope Luca is ok. He didn't seem himself tonight! X"

Responding to the concern, the reality star's family assured fans that everything was ok, replying: "Sooo many of these. Before he flew out he was sooo nervous (which is b****y out of character) and I think those nerves were still there a little. He's the life and soul of every room and once he gets to know everyone over the next couple of days, he'll be back out of his shell."

There were big bombshells on the show's debut on Monday when the Islanders learnt who they were coupled up with after the public vote. When it was announced that Luca was paired up with Olivia Hawkins, one fan took to Instagram, saying: "Had hopes for Liv and Luca but it looks like they hate each other! What's the tea?"

Responding, Luca's sister said it was just down to 'nerves', insisting: "He was just nervous and his brain was probably racing, which translated to a face like a slapped a**e x."

However, suggesting the pair may be better off as pals, she continued: "I'm friends with Liv and she's genuinely lovely but maybe it's a bit close to home. We'll see."

Luca rose to fame with ex-girlfriend Gemma on the show two years ago, with pair making it to the Love Island final, coming in second place to champions Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. However, shortly after leaving the villa, the couple split - with Gemma confirming the news in an Instagram story.

While it's been three years since the couple were together, Luca dredged the relationship back up again in his opening VT on Love Island: All Stars, quipping: "My relationship with Gemma lasted three months. Too long."

Ahead of his debut on All Stars, Luca revealed that he would "walk out" of the villa if the nepo-baby were to arrive as a bombshell. "I'd probably say I'm a Love Islander, get me out of it after watching I'm a Celebrity, that's on my mind," he told The Mirror, before clarifying "No, I'd back her all the way and just hope she has a better experience than last time."

However, as for a potential reunion, it looks like that ship has sailed, as he stated: "You can read a book twice, but the ending never changes, that's how I look at things like that. Sorry Gemma!"
