Luca, 25, and Gemma, 21, fell in love during the ITV2 show’s summer series in 2022, and came runners up to Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti, but split three months later.

Now he is back for the All Stars spin-off series in Cape Town, South Africa, which Maya Jama will host in January.

A TV source said: “This is the last thing Gemma wants because in the last year she’s tried to keep her personal life private.

“Their break-up was shrouded in secrecy and neither has discussed it, but it did not end well.

“He hinted he was blindsided by the break-up when she posted it online and this is his time to spill the beans.”

Luca hit headlines on his last Love Island stint with complaints over his alleged bullying behaviour towards the girls.

Viewers raised concerns with regulator Ofcom, saying he was gaslighting Gemma, with 2,481 complaints after one row. Women’s Aid also condemned his “controlling behaviour”.

Luca apologised after the show and said: “With my controlling behaviour, it took me watching it back to realise what I had done.”

The source added: “Luca hopes appearing on Love Island All Stars will help rewrite the narrative.”

ITV said: “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”
