Mark Wright breaks his silence after Love Island’s Luca claimed he was ‘punching’ with Michelle Keegan
MARK Wright has been left baffled after Luca Bish unexpectedly slammed him on Love Island.

Mark, 35, shared a picture of himself in bed looking bewildered at what had happened on Love Island.
He wrote: "8:30am in Sydney…. minding my own business (literally sleeping) Waking up like…. What did I do?"
The star pointedly added the hashtag: "#Luca."
The fishmonger, the boyfriend of Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, launched an unprompted attack on Mark last night.
He asked Love Island veteran Adam Collard: "Oi Adam, would you say Mark Wright's really good looking?"

The star, 26, replied: "Er, I think he's pretty good looking yeah."
Luca, 23, said dismissively: "I don't think he's all that."
Adam added: "Michelle Keegan's a lot better..." before Paige Thorne cut in, saying: "She is unreal."
Warming to his theme, Luca said: "Oh he is punching big time."
Paige told him sternly: "That's a good thing, Luca. Why is that a bad thing?"

He then bridled at the suggestion he was punching above his weight with Gemma, fuming: "No I'm f***ing not."
All hell broke loose when Paige said: "You need to be realistic. You are punching as Gemma is unreal."
After he refused to accept it, the Welsh paramedic grew exasperated that he wouldn't back down.
She stormed off, telling both Luca and Adam: "I'm bored of this conversation."
Viewers were stunned by Luca's comments, with one tweeting: "NO WAY does Luca think he isn’t punching."
Another fan joked, posting a picture of Gemma's dad Michael Owen: "Tell you who will be punching luca."
Another insisted Luca was just jealous as he's made no secret of his appreciation for former Corrie star Michelle before.

One wrote: "Strangest thing from that episode is Luca trying to convince himself that Mark Wright isn’t good looking. Not the first time Luca has mentioned Michelle Keegan either."
Love Island returns to ITV2 tonight at 9pm.
