LOVE Island fans reckon they've figured out why Luca Bish is so down on Mark Wright.

Some joked that he is just "jealous" of the Towie star because he knows Gemma's dad Michael Owen.

The pair have played together for England in Soccer Aid and are seen cosied up together in several photos.

Others think his crush on Michelle Keegan - who he has raved about on Love Island before - led him to slate Mark.

The former Towie hunk, who is in Australia, was accused of not being that good-looking and "punching" with stunning wife Michelle in last night's episode.

Luca, 23, said dismissively of Mark: "I don't think he's all that" adding: "Oh he is punching big time."

The Towie star, who is in Australia visiting Michelle, admitted he was baffled when he woke up to the news.

Fans have long speculated that fishmonger Luca is a huge fan of the former Newcastle and Liverpool Michael.

Some believe the lad, who was originally paired up with Paige Thorne, switched his attentions to Gemma when he found out who her dad was.

However, the claims have been rubbished by his sister Claudia, who is currently running his Instagram account.

Mark had a promising youth career for clubs including West Ham, Spurs and Arsenal before he joined the cast of Towie 12 years ago.

He is known to take Soccer Aid extremely seriously and is renowned for his phenomenal workrate in the charity games.

But many reckon he's just jealous of Mark for marrying Michelle, with one fan tweeting: "It's because Luca has a crush on Michelle Keegan so it would have been whoever was with her."

Another wrote: "Right.. Luca is obsessed with Michelle Keegan 😂 why diss her husband for nooo reason."
