GEMMA Owen has split from Luca Bish, three months after appearing on Love Island – these are the signs it was already over before she announced it.
The dressage rider, 19, said it was a ‘difficult decision’ to end her romance with the former fishmonger, 23, who she was last pictured with at the start of the month.
Gemma and Luca were runners up on Love Island over the summer, losing out to Davide and Ekin-Su.
Gemma, who is the daughter of footballer Michael, announced the news on Instagram this evening. Luca did not share the statement.
She wrote: “I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn’t an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both of us right now.
“Many of you have been on this journey with us from the beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as a new chapter starts.”

There were signs that there was trouble in paradise with the pair as Gemma didn’t mention him in her interview in the exclusive Tatler video.
Gemma sparked concern last month of trouble in paradise with boyfriend Luca after failing to mention him in her interview with Tatler.
And this week fans noticed that she wasn’t by Luca’s side as he attended various events.
The shock statement comes just two days after Luca told journalists all was well within his relationship as he appeared on the TV Choice Awards red carpet – with Gemma noticeably absent.
Gemma and Luca remained together throughout their whole time on Love Island but decided to not make things official until they came home.
While Gemma announced the break-up in her Instagram stories, Luca remained radio silent on social media prompting fans to wonder whether she instigated their split.
Luca put on a very extravagant display when he asked her to be his girlfriend – as he presented her with a £6k Cartier bracelet.
