Love Island fans have shared their theory as to why Luca Bish switched from Paige Thorne to Gemma Owen in the first week of the hit ITV dating programme. Luca, 23, was originally paired with the brunette beauty from Wales, 24, but soon had a change of heart when he suddenly became enamoured with the international dressage rider. Now, viewers of the show have been left convinced they've figured out why events unfolded as they did and it all has to do with dumped Islander Ikenna Ekwonna's recent confession on Love Island: Aftersun.

LOVE Island fans have long suspected Luca Bish is well aware of the fact Gemma Owen has a famous dad. Now they have seized on one former Islander's remarks that they were all told on day two or three as proof.

GEMMA Owen has been noticeably quiet in recent days - but that all chances on Monday night when she explodes with rage. Michael Owen's daughter, 19, is seen raging at Dami Hope and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu in a preview clip.
