There’s drama with Harriett and Luca on Love Island as he didn’t back her in the bust-up with Casey, and people didn’t realise they are friends outside the villa.
“Sometimes you don’t look out for me the way I would look out for you,” she said before getting upset that they’re no longer as close as they used to be.
That’s the first time we’ve seen them speak out about their friendship in the villa, but they’ve actually known each other for their entire lives – 25 whole years!
Oh Harriett and Luca are friends on the outside?? #LoveIslandAllStars

Luca and Harriett have been friends since they were kids
Both growing up in Brighton, Harriett and Luca have been friends since they were babies. They went to school together and were in the same friendship group through their teens, so know each other really well.
Someone asked how long they have been friends and the person running Harriett’s Instagram while she’s in the villa replied: “Guys… H & @lucabish have been friends since they were fresh out of the womb.”
So, Harriett and Luca’s parents must have known each other for their friendship to stretch back that far. .
When Luca pied Harriett in the whipped cream game, his sister Claudia also commented on TikTok: “These two have grown up together since babies – how are people taking it seriously.”
It came after Harriett pied him for kissing Samie and upsetting her best friend, Grace. He then purposely flicked some of the whipped cream back in her face and people were slamming Luca online for it.
However, his sister reminded everyone that they were just having a bit of banter and it really wasn’t that deep. Here’s a video of them both at the same party as teenagers.

He also dated one of Harriett’s best friends
Luca also had a fling with YouTuber and influencer Saffron Barker, who is one of Harriett’s best friends. She went to school with them too and they were all in the same Brighton friendship group.

“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 still remain really good mates,” he told Metro when Saffron was on Strictly.
They dated for around six months but kept things “really private,” as he always likes to do with his romantic relationships.

It’s just a coincidence that Harriett and Luca ended up on Love Island after growing up as childhood friends, but it was Saffron who put them both in the spotlight.
