Love Island’s latest bombshell contestant Danica Taylor has coupled up with Luca Bish during a dramatic ceremony that also saw Remi Lambert dumped from the villa.
The 21-year-old dancer from Leicester chose to steal Luca from Gemma Owen, forcing the daughter of football star Michael Owen to take back her ex-partner, Davide Sanclimenti.
Before making her choice, Danica told the islanders she had to “go with the heart”.
Luca hung his head in his hands and told Gemma: “I want you, that is it. I don’t care.”

She laughed and replied: “I feel like I’ve gone back to day one again by going back to Davide.”
Luca continued: “You make me feel like a young kid who hasn’t experienced anything before and all I want to do is get to know you more and more.”
Sunday’s episode then saw Danica take Luca on a romantic picnic with drinks on the beach.
However, Luca returned to the villa intent on rekindling his relationship with Gemma.
Joining her on the sofa, he joked: “Are you sweating because it is hot or because I was gone?” before she replied, “Why are you smirking?”

He added: “I wished you were there instead and I found it not hard to talk to her but, because it wasn’t you, I didn’t really know what to talk about.
“I wanted to send her off with a smile and make sure she was okay going into the villa but I think that will be our last chat.”
After a pause, the pair embraced.
Meanwhile, Danica quickly began exploring other options in the villa.
She pulled Jacques O’Neill for a chat on the sunbeds, telling him she thought he was the most attractive man in the villa.
Love Island continues on ITV2 and the ITV Hub.
