LOVE Island star Luca Bish’s ex girlfriend Sophie Floyd has opened up on the heartbreak she’s felt since losing him as her “best friend and boyfriend.”
The YouTube star and tattoo artist opened up on the split in a very candid video while doing her makeup, sharing how she’s got over her split from Luca.
Luca, 23, is now on Love Island and has shared a romantic connection with Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma Owen, 19.
Before going into Love Island, 23-year-old Luca explained that he came out of a long-term relationship in 2021.
Discussing her with The Sun before entering the villa, he said: “I was 18 when I got with her and we were together for four years.”
In the poignant video about their split, Sophie says: “It has felt like a grieving process. He’s not who he was or who I thought he was which is very hard to deal with.
“It was very sudden and I wasn’t expecting or it wasn’t what I wanted. Now, the anger has gone and deep sadness. I am starting to see things for what they are.”

Sophie said she’s been patient with herself, strong, and surprised herself with the split.
She also said there were times she could’ve “lost her head” but didn’t.
The tattoo artist also referred to Luca as her best friend, and said they’d “grown together.”
She shared: “We had such a beautiful relationship. It’s not like there were lots of red flags.
“We really did love each other, and what more can I really do? He did hurt me and was disrespectful towards the end which is why I put things to bed and moved forward.”
Luca’s ex said they felt “safe” and “comfortable” together and after they split she went through emotions, from anger to loneliness.
Luca has also spoken about the split before, and he explained how the couple split last after meeting as teenagers.
He explained: “I came out of a four-year relationship about a year ago.
“I was enjoying being in a relationship, there were just things I didn’t like and we drifted apart.”
Speaking about his approach to dating he added: “I prefer to meet girls out and about.
“I think when you go looking for it, it’s not as easy though, it’s like you’re too desperate for it.
“If I think you’re the one or I like you, I’ll take you out on a date but other than that, if we talk and I don’t like where it’s going – then I won’t be throwing out dates.”
Luca is no stranger to having famous girlfriends including Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron Barker.
