Luca Bish has stormed out of a Love Island: All Stars game in the latest episode, after his partner Grace Jackson became upset at him kissing a bombshell.

Bish, who was a runner-up on the 2022 season of the show alongside Gemma Owen, the daughter of former footballer Michael Owen, is taking part in the spin-off ITV2 reality programme with other former contestants.

The former Celebrity MasterChef contestant has become romantically linked to Jackson, who was on the 2024 season of the show, but he seems to have had his head turned by the appearance of Samie Elishi from the 2023 edition of the winter series.

During a game of spin the bottle at the villa, where Islanders have to carry out a truth-or-dare set by producers, on Tuesday’s episode Bish asked Jackson who she wants him to kiss, and she said 2023 contestant Catherine Agbaje.

Instead of going for her choice, Bish goes for Elishi and they end up sharing an embrace for a lengthy period.

After he returns to sit beside Jackson he asks if she is OK, and she says: “You said you wouldn’t kiss her but you did, just shut the f*** up.”

After Jackson remarks that she wants a card saying that she has to kiss three contestants, Bish tells her: “I’m going to go if you carry on, that’s just pathetic.”

While the Islanders continue to play the game, Bish asks if that is the final round, and later says: “Right, I’m done, see you later.”

Bish then gets up to leave, and walks back to the inside of the villa as Jackson remains in her seat looking emotional.

Earlier in the day, it was revealed by Elishi that Bish had “messaged her” before she entered the villa as a bombshell.

She said at the time she was “heartbroken”, and “sworn off men”, after a break-up last year.

Elishi had ended her relationship with Macclesfield player Tom Clare, who won the first series of Love Island: All Stars with Molly Smith, shortly after they left the villa in 2023 in third place.

Love Island: All Stars continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
