Love Island’s Luca and Grace ‘finally go on date’ after narrowing missing out on All Stars win
LOVE Island’s Luca Bish and Grace Jackson have “finally” gone on their first date after narrowly missing out on an All Stars win.
The duo, who came second place to Gabby Allen, 33, and Casey O’Gorman, 28, who scooped the £50,000 cash pot and ITV2 matchmaking show title, headed out for a swanky dinner.
And they couldn’t have looked looked more loved-up on their night in London, with Grace perching on 25-year-old Luca‘s knee as he nuzzled into her neck.
Model Grace, also 25, wore a stunning semi-sheer black lace dress with black bra and knicker detailing.
She kept her make-up natural to show off her South Africa sun tan to best effect, bar a slick of black mascara and pink lip gloss.
The Manchester lass pulled back her blonde locks into a stylish up-do to complete her look.
Grace – who first found Love Island fame in 2024 – uploaded the snap taken at a London eatery to her Instagram page with the words: “Finally got our date.”
She rounded off her message with a white love heart.
The caption could have been a cheeky reference to their time in the All Stars villa – where Luca was whisked on a date with bombshell Samie Elishi.
Yet Grace didn’t get a chance for a date with her man until they returned to the real world.
Their co-star Omar Nyame was quick to comment on the snap: “Yeaaaa my boy.”
One fan then put: “The cutest ever.”
A second put: “The most beautiful, Barbie & Ken.”
Luca’s sister Claudia then sparked a slew of positive reaction when she wrote: “Welcome to the family our gorgeous girl.”
MISSED OUT
Previously, All Stars fans suspected Luca was “fuming” after missing out on the show title.
After fans flagged the real reason the duo didn’t win – despite bookies William Hill placing Grace and Luca as the front-runners for this year’s series – they have noted his angry attitude.
