LOVE Island fans believe they have spotted the moment it was “the end” for Luca Bish and Gemma Owen ahead of their split.
The couple – who were runners-up on the ITV2 dating show this summer – took to social media to announce they had gone their separate ways in a shock split last night.
Luca, 23, and Gemma, 19, said it was a “difficult decision” to end their romance, just three months after leaving the Love Island villa.
While some of the pair’s fans were left in shock, others saw it coming – and pinpointed the split on a recent video clip from Gemma’s vlogs.
In the snippet, Luca was seen looking furious as Gemma jumped up and wrapped her legs round one of her male friends.
Luca, known for his jealous sulks in the villa, looked in shock as Gemma was kissed on the cheek by the pal.

Gemma tells him “you’re on camera” and the pal waves before heading towards Luca with his hand out to greet him.
Giving him a firm handshake, a fuming Luca shook the mystery man’s hand and said through gritted teeth: “Nice to meet you.”
Fans have now claimed it was the moment the “knew” it was “the end” for the couple – two months before their split.
Taking to Twitter with the video clip, one said: “Luca and Gemma were never the same after this.”
“A leg wrapping hug for just a friend is wild,” a second agreed, as a third said: “Their relationship was done.”
“Everything just changed for the love birds,” a fourth said of the clip, while a fifth concluded: “The beginning of the end.”
Luca and Gemma announced their split last night – just a week after they were pictured smiling together on Fireworks Night.
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.”
Meanwhile, Luca penned: “Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup.

“I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.”
Gemma sparked concern last month of trouble in paradise with boyfriend Luca after failing to mention him in her interview with Tatler.
