Love Island: All Stars contestant Luca Bish's 'heart wrenching' breakdown was 'upsetting' for his family, who have defended his recent controversial remarks. The returning Islander, 25, who first appeared on the ITV2 series in 2022, told host Maya Jama 'You've not put enough girls in here for me' after she asked why the fish monger was yet to make a romantic connection.

His comment provoked gasps in the villa from the female cast who were clearly offended as Maya replied: 'You have so many beautiful girls around you, is it not enough?'. Luca, who was in a relationship with Gemma Owen for three months after they met on the show, sobbed during scenes that aired earlier this week, saying, 'I just don't know what I'm doing here.'.

Speaking in the Beach Hut, he admitted: 'In here, your emotions get the better of you' after new arrival Tina Stinnes coupled up with Scott Thomas instead of him. Now, Luca's sister Claudia has claimed that he 'can't fake' how he feels and will only progress with one of his co-stars when he develops genuine feelings.

Luca was comforted by his co-stars including Ekin-Su after he broke down in tears during Monday night's show. Claudia said: 'While Luca is looking for that instant connection, I don't think it's a case of being picky, but he can't fake it and will want to have genuine feelings initially to be able to progress something.
