Speaking on the Private Parts podcast with Jamie Laing, runner-up Luca explained he was warned off chatting up his now-girlfriend Gemma in the first five days of the show.

He said:"I tried to pull her for a chat on the second day and they [the producers] said 'you're not allowed to, Davide's just come in they need time to get to know each other'. It was a storyline obviously.

"They said 'we're doing this for you so you don't look like a player'.

"In my head I'm thinking, the more I hold off the more she's going to get to know Davide.

"It was day four or five and I asked 'am I allowed?'"

He explained there is a clip that was aired when he eventually pulled Gemma for a chat when he's heard telling her "we're allowed now".

Luca then went on to open up more about his feud with Billy - who admitted having feelings for Gemma.

While in the villa, Luca saw footage of Gemma, 19 and Billy, 23, flirting after meeting in Casa Amor.

He was furious at what he coined as “flirty” chats after Billy confessed that Gemma had given him mixed signals, saying he was left "confused" by Gemma's "flirty banter".

But he know claims Billy made up accusations Gemma had been leading him on.

"On movie night I watched something and lost my head," admitted Luca.

"Billy told me he was confused, but since I've come out, I look like the biggest idiot going.

"I've watched it back and it looks like he was flirting with a wall. Gemma was just smiling."

He quipped: "She has nice teeth but that doesn't mean you're getting confused."

Luca then took a swipe at his co-star, adding: "He's a nice lad who thinks he's funny, but did he really think he could get Gemma over me?

"If Gemma wanted him, she'd have him."
