Islander Gemma Owen has told new she's "so happy" with boyfriend Luca Bish, but their relationship is very much a long distance one.

Chatting to us exclusively last week, the 19-year-old revealed that the couple, who were runners-up on Love Island, have no plans to live near each other. Gemma is with her family in Cheshire and Luca is in Brighton, but she says they are "kind of just making it work for us".

"We're living separately, but it's fine," she explained.

"Whenever we're free, he'll either come up to Cheshire or I'll go down to Brighton." She added, "If we're both busy in London, we'll always find time [to see each other].

But at the moment I'm still in Cheshire because I've got everything there."
