During the series Love Island viewers were quick to brand Gemma and Luca as ‘bitter’ and ‘jealous’ after Ekin-Su and Davide went official.
The episode in question saw ‘Italian Stallion’ Davide make a homemade tiramisu for Ekin-Su as he asked her to go exclusive with him.
In his sweet gesture, Davide took Ekin-Su to the place where they shared their first kiss and asked Dami to bring the dessert over.
Change in heart: While he was in the Love Island villa last month the pair insisted that they didn’t need to put on an extravagant display of their romance to prove it was real
Using chocolate sauce, Davide had written the question: ‘Are you mine?’ in Italian and told the Turkish model that if she ate the tiramisu, that meant yes.
As some of the Islanders were heard cheering, Luca didn’t appear overly impressed.
‘We’ve got three like couples now haven’t we?’ Luca said, as Indiyah said: ‘I know! Welcome to the exclusives club!’
Ekin-su then said to Luca: ‘You’re technically… you’ve always been exclusive. You don’t even need to say it, it’s really obvious, you just need to meet the parents.’

She then added: ‘Husband, wife,’ as she pointed at Gemma and Luca.
Luca didn’t seem happy and said to Gemma: ‘You’ll get the question one day,’ as she replied: ‘Oh God!’
As they sat down on the sofa, Gemma looked annoyed as Luca put his arm around her and said: ‘I’m glad Ekin’s told me we’re basically exclusive, do you know what I mean? It’s given me clarity,’ to which Gemma responded: ‘Shut up!’
‘You’re being bitter,’ she then told him as he replied: ‘I’m not!’

As well as the romantic setup, Luca surprised Gemma with a gorgeous bunch of red roses and a £6.5k Cartier bracelet to add to her collection.
While the international dressage rider, 19, cut a glam figure in the montage clip as she donned a black midi dress and a pair of gold heels as Luca escorted her out to a swimming pool filled with red balloons floating in the water which read ‘be my girlfriend’.
Sharing the video to his 1.4M followers, Luca played the Major’s romantic song Why I Love You over the romantic clips, captioning ‘finally’.
While Gemma shared a slew of loved-up snaps from the evening and captioned it: ‘Finally official. Thank you Luca Bish for a special night’.
The couple finished as runners up in the Love Island final where they lost out to winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.
And the Cartier bracelet is the perfect gift for Gemma, who is known for her impressive jewellery collection -boasting a stack of couture pieces during her time in the villa.
And the couple’s fans were quick to rush to the comment section to congratulate the couple, who have been dating since early on in the 2022 series of the ITV2 dating show.
However, many of their followers were left confused with the ‘proposal style’, questioning how Luca will top it when he wants to put a ring on it.
One pointed out: ‘This looks like a proposal’
Another person wrote: ‘What’s the actual proposal gonna look like? Sheesh!’
Fellow islander Ekin-Su also commented on the post, saying: ‘Luca did well congratulations’ with a love heart emoji.
