The last Love Island dates this week between the five remaining couples promised romance, extravagance and emotions.
But when it came down to it Luca Bis and Gemma Owenviewers shuddered after labeling the date “awkward” and “dry.”
The fishmonger and Michael Owen’s Daughter have had a wild ride in the villa after a few explosive rows, but they came through as strong as ever…or so it seemed.
As they seemed to be enjoying their romantic date in a quaint Mallorcan setting, those who watched the screen couldn’t help but cringe, especially when Gemma Luca seemed to “friendzone” him and call him her “best friend”!
Talking about what life would be like for the couple after leaving the villa, where their relationship would be tested much more severely than bomb threats and Casa Amor, Luca said: “Even to the outside world, at this point in my life I didn’t’ I don’t think anyone would come by and let me feel what you have.’
Gemma replied, ‘Since I met you I’ve been like, you’re more than just a partner, I really think I’ve found a best mate here.’
“Me too,” he replied, adding, “If I’m here with you, I don’t think I’d have had a better date, and I’m lucky to have you.”
The exclusive-but-not-yet-boyfriend-and-girlfriend couple left viewers cringing after the “awkward” date.
“Why is this date with Luca and Gemma so awkward I can feel it through my screen,” one wrote.
Another commented: ‘Gemma and Luca looked and sounded so bored on their date!! No chemistry,” while a third wrote, “Am I the only one who can’t see any chemistry between Luca and Gemma at all. It seems so staged and clumsy.’
Gemma and Luca’s date comes after Ex-islander Lacey Edwards claims 19-year-old is ready to leave the villa for the final.
In a recent TikTok video, she said, “With Luca and Gemma, I really think they’re really in love and I think they’re almost over Love Island.
“They’ve been there for so long and they really found what they were looking for, they could just move in together and go back home together now.
“They are done with the games and challenges.
‘With Luca it’s playing with his head. He says, “I just want my girl and I want to get out of here now.”‘
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVHub.
