Gemma Owen wasted no time getting back to work following her public breakup with Love Island co-star Luca Bish as she posed for a fashion shoot days after calling it quits.

Appearing confident and cosy, the daughter of footballing legend Michael Owen modelled a tan-coloured tracksuit and sunk back into a crushed velvet couch for her first photo op post-split.

The dressage rider was repping the hooded matching sweatsuit as part of her collaboration with the online fashion retailer Pretty Little Thing, which she secured following her exit from the smash-hit ITV summer fixture.

Handpicked by the clothing brand which seems to have a thing for former Islanders – with former Love Island star Molly Mae Hague the brand’s Creative Director – the 19-year-old signed on the dotted line after agreeing a reported six-figure deal.

Gemma treated fans to her first collaboration with the Pretty Little Thing clothing brand in October after documenting her travels to Spain on her Youtube channel where she shot the pieces.  

Her snaps follow her split with Luca, with the couple’s effort to take things slower than their fellow ITV2 castmates appearing to have been in vain after Gemma announced their separation on Wednesday.

The pair left the Majorcan villa in second place after losing out to winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, who are still coupled up.

In a post on her Instagram story, the star shared the news of the long-distance relationship breakdown in a statement that read: ‘To all my followers. I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship.

‘It wasn’t an easy decision but this ultimately is what is best for us both right now.

‘Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning and I want to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters. Love always. Gem x.’

Offering his two cents, former fishmonger Luca had his say on his own profile after Gemma broke the news: ‘Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup.

‘I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.

‘We have been on such a journey together and have made some amazing memories which I will treasure.

‘I can’t thank everyone enough for their support for us as a couple during and after Love Island.

‘We will remain good friends and I wish nothing but the best for her.’
