Love Island's Luca Bish eyes move to Chester to be near Gemma Owen

Luca Bish is planning to move to Chester to make a go of things with Gemma Owen.

The pair just came second on ITV2 dating show 'Love Island', and the 23-year-old fishmonger has revealed his plans to leave his native Brighton to live more than 200 miles away to be near to the 19-year-old daughter of retired football legend Michael Owen.

Even though the pair are not officially boyfriend and girlfriend, Luca is already talking about getting a place with the dressage rider in the future.

As quoted by OK.co.uk, he said: “There is no middle ground - it’s Chester or nothing!

“I’m happy to go wherever she wants me to go. I haven’t got too many commitments back home so it’s easier for me to move. Whatever makes us happy and whatever is right we’ll do. Hopefully if I move near her, in time we’ll get a place together.”

He added: “Just to be near her family I’ll love. Hearing stories about her barbecues and stuff like that, I’m quite excited and I feel like I’ll fit right in.”

Gemma admitted Luca will need to get the seal of approval of her beloved horse, Sirius

She quipped: “Luca needs to impress Sirius. If Sirius doesn’t like Luca then it’s pretty much game over! You’ve heard a lot about him haven’t you?”

Luca joked back: “Yeah. Apparently I’ve got to get in the stables with him straight away and see how I react … to a massive horse!

“I’m sure I’ll feel fine!"

On a serious note, Luca needs to win over Gemma's mother Louise.

She added: “If my mum was like ‘absolutely not’ then yeah I think that would be the end of it."

And it's looking promising so far.

Gemma added: “I haven’t had a chance to speak to her properly but from the small bits I’ve heard, she’s really happy and likes him.”
