LOVE Island star Luca Bish's family have apologised on his behalf in a shock statement this afternoon.
The fishmonger has come under fire for appearing to revel in the misfortune of others stars as their misdemeanours played out during Movie Night.
He then took Gemma Owen to task for a conversation that was shown between her and Billy Brown.
Luca said he was "f***ing fuming" over the video, which he said was evidence of Michael Owen's daughter flirting with someone else.
But posting on his official Instagram account today his sister Claudia Bish, 27, issued an apology to Love Island viewers.
She wrote: “I want to apologise on behalf of Luca for his insensitive reaction on last night’s episode. I know that when he watches it back, he will be embarrassed and deeply apologetic.

“We as his family don’t condone his behaviour last night, but we do understand he is in an intense environment where his emotions are heightened.
“Last night was not reflective of the boy we all know and low at home."
She added: “Please be aware death threats and nasty comments totally overstep the mark and something we as a family should not have to endure, for this reason we have turned off the comments and messages.
“For all those who have sent messages checking in on us, we would like to thank you very much and we see you.”

Luca fumed watching the clip of Gemma, saying: "Just bring me a f**king bird in and watch.
"Trust me when I say, if she wants to f**king play games with me, I'll play. I can't be with someone like that, I'm sorry."
However, Gemma insisted calmly: "I don't think any lines have been crossed."
Many fans remarked on the exchange after Movie Night, with one tweeting: "Luca laughing at the boys’ behaviour while simultaneously being fuming at gemma for SPEAKING to another man?"
Another wrote: "Why is luca allowed to be ‘fuming’ over gemma and billy literally talking but when the girls r upset over the boys being disrespectful and kissing girls he’s justifying it and literally laughing in their faces???"
