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.
