Luca Bish welcomes new family member after Gemma Owen split
LOVE Island star Luca Bish is moving on from Gemma Owen by welcoming a new member into his family.
The former fishmonger took to social media to reveal he has received a new puppy into his home.
Taking to his stories, Luca posted an adorable picture of a new brown haired puppy.
The cute dog, which appears to be of a cockapoo breed, has been given the name Axel by the Brighton native.
He might not be going out with the International dressage rider anymore but the Love Island star seems to be looking forward to the single life with his new companion.
The 23-year-old's new pet was seen making himself at home on Luca's plush grey crushed velvet sofa, covered in soft blankets.

The reality star took to social media to thanks fans for their supportive messages during what could be a painful time for the personality.
