Love Island: Davide and Ekin-Su announced as series winners
Gemma Owen and Luca Bish’s demeanour appeared to have changed once the Love Island final filming ended, an eye-witness has told the Mirror.
Gemma, 19, and 23-year-old Luca came in second place during the live final, as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti were crowned the series winners.
The couple appeared to be loved-up as they held one another throughout the live finale episode on Monday evening, but a source who attended the final’s filming inside the villa has claimed things changed between the pair once the cameras stopped rolling.
An eye-witness has claimed of Gemma and Luca after the result was announced: “They changed when the result was called.
“As soon as the cameras stopped, they let go of each other, they were no longer holding each other. They sat around the fire pit and were distanced, whereas usually they were all over each other.”

But, another show insider said: “This couldn’t be further from the truth. All of the finalists were in such high spirits last night as they celebrated the final and Davide and Ekin-Su’s win.”
Luca’s puzzled reaction to the live final result was picked up by fans on Twitter, but the pair remained on stage to congratulate the winners.
Ekin-Su, Davide, Luca and Gemma were then joined by the rest of the finalists on stage, Gemma and Luca hugged their fellow Islanders before leaving.
The eye-witness claimed: “Luca and Gemma hugged everyone but then as soon as they hugged everyone they left. And everybody else stayed, Gemma and Luca just went.”

The insider added that Gemma and Luca were soon followed by Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, who finished in third place.
“Dami and Indiyah left at a similar time but they thanked all the crew, whereas I didn’t see Luca thank the crew individually,” they said.
“Dami was hugging each person in the crew and being like: ‘Thank you so much, I really appreciate it’. He seemed genuinely interested in chatting to them.”

The eye-witness added to the Mirror of Luca: “He said a general thank you to everyone and then left which was fair enough but Dami, especially, walked around to every person and said thank you and it just shows the difference in personalities.”
