Gemma Owen reveals Luca Bish has received important family approval as he hangs out at her £4million mansion

LOVE Island star Gemma Owen has revealed that Luca Bish has been given approval from two of her very important family members.

The reality TV star – who rose to fame on the dating show this summer – could be seen hanging out at her £4million mansion with her beau Luca, 23.

Love Island runner-up Gemma, 19, filmed as Luca played with her two dogs – revealing he had passed the all-important pet test.

The professional horse rider had previously joked that she took the approval of her animals, especially her horse, very seriously.

Luca looked to be doing well as he played with the two sweet dogs on the sofa, wrestling a teddy from their mouths and smiling.

Gemma gave fans a sneak peek at her sprawling living room, which featured plush grey sofas and photos of her horse riding, as well as with her siblings.

“Luca meets the puppies,” she captioned the video from her living room, as her beau smiled and laughed at the two family dogs.

The pair appeared to be spending quality time with Gemma’s family at their sprawling £4million estate in Wales this week.

It comes after Gemma revealed what her footballer dad Michael really thinks of Luca – insisting there’s “more to it” than what her fans see on TV or on her social media.

Gemma and Luca have been plagued by rumours that her dad Michael, 42, doesn’t approve of her choice in men.

The dad and boyfriend duo were only seen together for the first time last week – two weeks after the dating show came to an end.

Gemma and Luca instead jetted out to Portugal last week – where Michael and Luca finally met on a family holiday.

However, Luca was noticeably missing from the snaps posted by the former footballer on social media – promoting fans to think that there was frosty air between the pair.

Now, Gemma has hit back that there is “more to it” than meets the eye – insisting her fans have only ever seen short snapshots of their day, including on Love Island.

She told  that Luca had a “thumbs up” from her family, and could now go ahead and make things official.

“Family thumbs up, very good,” she explained. “We had a little trip, a bit of work, bit of relaxing, met all of them there. That was really nice.

“Now we’ve got the approval, the ball’s in his court. Just waiting for him.”
