Love Island: Luca & Gemma still favourites to win, despite shock recoupling

William Hill have kept Luca and Gemma as favourite couple to win, seeing their odds slashed to 7-2 – despite last night’s shock recoupling.

New bombshell Danica Taylor – 21, from Leicester – certainly rocked the boat after choosing fishmonger Luca Bish in last night’s recoupling.

While Remi was dumped from the island, Luca – who is currently coupled up with dressage rider Gemma Owen – made no effort to hide his frustration and anger around the firepit.

However, despite cooling off after a first date at the beach with dancer Danica, William Hill has kept Luca and Gemma as the favourite couple to win Love Island 2022, slashing their odds from 15-2 to 7-2.

Perhaps Luca’s persistent devotion to Gemma has convinced fans that they are the ones to watch. Although, as many years of Love Island has shown, all could change with Casa Amor on the way.

Hairline cracks are beginning to show after Danica swiftly moved her attention to Jacques, a Luca look alike if you will. While Jacques is currently coupled up with paramedic Paige – second favourite couple to win at 6-1 -, he admitted his head could be turned.

Priced at a likely 18-1, the UK bookmakers’ certainly think there could be a chance between rugby pro Jacques and dancer Danica – time will tell as the sun soaked dating show unfolds for another week.

Completing the top three favourite couples are model Tasha and real estate agent Andrew, who have already shared a steamy night in the hideaway. Named the most compatible by online fans, this duo is priced at 6-1 to win.

Tony Kenny, Head of Sponsorship PR at William Hill, commented on the market: “Last night’s recoupling demonstrates just how quickly things – and tempers – can change within the villa. However, the recoupling seems to have brought Luca and Gemma closer together… for now.

“With another week ahead of us, it’ll be interesting to see how new Islander Danica affects existing dynamics and whether she’ll find love and – more importantly – also rock the boat.”
