LUCA Bish has finally admitted he knows that Michael Owen’s is Gemma’s dad.
The fishmonger has often been accused of making a move on her only after figuring out she is the multi-millionaire footballer’s daughter.
Speaking during a date on Wednesday night’s Love Island, he let slip that he’s well aware of who he is.
Gemma also made reference to it as the pair were whisked off to a clifftop for their first ever date.
While exchanging compliments, she said Luca would see him “being a part of the family”.
She told him: “You have got similar humour to my dad to be fair.”
He replied: “If only I can kick a ball the same as him” which left her laughing briefly before she shot him an icy glare.

Luca then asked: “Do you think your mum will like me?”
She replied: “I hope to God. If she doesn’t then we’re screwed. If my mum don’t like you it’s a no.”
Fans were focused on the conversation about the former England striker, with one asking: “When did Luca find out Michael Owen was Gemma’s dad?
“How did I miss that? Can someone show me his reaction?”
Another joked: “Gemma is looking for a potential future and Luca is looking to meet Michael Owen.”

However, there is bad news for Luca is he was hoping to meet the former England and Liverpool ace in the villa.
The TV football pundit has ruled out appearing in the villa, saying his wife Louise will be doing the honours instead, should Gemma make it that far.
One viewer tweeted: “Is someone gonna tell Luca that Michael Owen isn’t coming for the meet the parents episode
.”
Luca was originally paired with Paige Thorne but had a change of heart in the first week, becoming suddenly enamoured with Gemma.
Former Islander Ikenna Ekwonna revealed after the show that was around the same time the villa learnt her dad is football legend Michael, 42.
One posted: “They found out around the third day who Gemma’s dad was and that was when Luca started showing interest OHHHHHH.”
