Fans of Love Island All Stars have identified a significant hint during Harriett’s phone conversation with Saffron.
It has come to the attention of Love Island enthusiasts that Harriett Blackmore and Luca Bish had a prior acquaintance before the All Stars season. For those unaware, this information is now revealed.
The two individuals grew up together in Brighton, attended the same educational institutions, and were part of the same social circle. Notably, Harriett’s close friend, Saffron Barker, had a romantic relationship with Luca in their younger years.
Saffron is a well-known internet personality, having launched her YouTube channel in 2015, where she has garnered nearly 2.5 million subscribers. Additionally, she participated in the 2019 season of Strictly Come Dancing.
While some viewers may have been aware of the history between Saffron and Luca, Harriett explicitly confirmed their past relationship during her phone call on Love Island All Stars.
Is Saffron Barker Luca Bish’s ex-girlfriend?
Saffron Barker is indeed the former girlfriend of Luca Bish, although their relationship was relatively casual. They were involved for a few months, but Saffron characterized it as more of a “fling,” indicating that they were “kind of just seeing” one another rather than engaging in a formal relationship.
Luca corroborated that they were not officially a couple, and both acknowledged that their demanding schedules played a role in the dissolution of their relationship, although they continued to maintain a good friendship afterward.
Saffron Barker is a prominent social media influencer and YouTube personality, and her recent participation in Love Island All Stars has reignited interest in her previous relationship with Luca Bish.
Did Love Island’s Luca Bish date Saffron Barker?
Yes. While old videos and social media post shared by Saffron suggested she and Luca had dated she didn’t officially confirm it until years after he was on Love Island.
Speaking to Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks on the ‘Staying Relevant’ podcast in 2023, Saffron admitted she did date ‘the fish man’ on Love Island but explained: “To be fair, he wasn’t fully my ex, I was just kind of seeing him for a long time.”

During Love Island All Stars 2024, Harriett received a video call from her lifelong bestie Saffron and she said she was in support of Luca being coupled up with Grace Jackson.
However, knowing Grace’s friendship with Harriett since they met on series 11, Saffron said: “I do think it’s hard because if you fall out with Luca it’s hard for Grace, like who does she kind of go too?
“I do think think it’s a hard situation for you to be in.”
“Well babe, you was in that situation,” Harriett responded before breaking off into laughter and confirming Saffron and Luca’s past.
“Well, oh, kind of,” Saffron replied.

The pair never became official and they were friends from school too but Luca told The Metro that they dated around six months before he was on Love Island in 2022.
At the time, he’d told the press: “We used to go to the same school in Brighton. I think she had just come out of a relationship. And then yeah, that was it.
“We just kind of hit the ground running a bit. We still remain really good mates.”
Saffron also confirmed this as she said it was back when he had a private Instagram and before he was in the public eye.
