For the caption of his post, Luca alluded to the Ed Sheeran track Thinking Out Loud as he pulled a lyric from it.

He said: ‘When your legs don’t work like they used to before.’

The TV star was greeted with messages from his former co-stars of the ITV2 dating show as they rushed to send their support.

Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate and Love Island 2022 winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu wrote:’Get better soon bro you still look fresh!’

And Jacques O’Neill – who made it to week six of Love Island two years ago – said: ‘Got ya bro, be back better’

Fellow former Islander Dami Hope said: ‘Back in top form soon my boyyyy.’

Luca shot to fame on series eight of Love Island, finishing in second place alongside Gemma Owen, 21, who is the daughter of former footballer Michael Owen.

But, the pair split in November 2022, just three months after the show ended.

In a second snap, Luca shared a closeup of his injuries as it appeared he was being wheeled out of the ward

‘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.’

Luca also shared his own statement confirming the split, writing: ‘I would have liked some time to process this privately but as you all already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separatre ways.’

Power couple Dami Hope and Indiyah put on a loved-up display for the event.

Dami sported a yellow knitted bucket hat, while Indiyah showed off her unique sense of style in boy-style boxers up over her jeans and a plethora of pearl necklaces.

Former Love Island winner Amber Gill also stepped out for the event, flashing her abs in a green race crop top. Tyler Cruickshank was another of the reality show’s former cast members to turn out.

Meanwhile representing Ru Paul’s Drag Race at the event were Cara Melle, Tayce, Black Peppa, and Kitty-Scott Claus.

Kitty was cinched by a tiny corset as she donned a daring sheer mini-dress with ruching panels, while Cara Melle also bared her incredible figure in a sheer lace bodysuit.

Tayce looked incredible as she showed up for the event in a skin-tight ruched mini-dress, which had the bodice and lips and the word ‘Trash’ on it. She paired the ensemble with a black cropped blazer and striking white eye look.

And Black Peppa wowed at the launch in an eye-catching scarlet red look, where they paired with a huge red hat and ripped body-suit, as well as a pair of high-waisted cargo pants.

Brad kept it simple in a pair of cigarette jeans with a black satin blazer and bejwelled necklace.

Rapper Aitch also stepped out, posing for the camera in a 90s oversized navy tracksuit with a cap.

Rihanna took to Instagram to announce another sneaker collaboration between Puma and her brand Fenty in February.

The singer posted a video of herself in February flaunting the sneakers as she said, ‘I’m trying to make my style look proud.’

According to the Puma site, the sneakers are being sold for $200.

The sneaker comes in two print variations and is ‘wrapped in luxurious calf hair and rounded off with embroidered FENTY branding and retro gum soles’ with a gold aglet.

The mother-of-two paired the sneakers with a classy long white fur coat and all white ribbed top and sweats that made her signature raven hair pop.

While the singer promoted her new sneaker collaboration, had something else to talk about.

‘Is that what you wearing to the studio to make the album you owe us for 84 years now?! if so, fly a** outfit,’ one commenter wrote.

Another said: ‘You used to say please don’t stop the music… now where is it?’

Barbadian native Rihanna released her last album, Anti, back in 2016.

She famously performed at the 2023 Super Bowl half-time show revealing her second pregnancy, as fans had speculated.

Her and ASAP Rocky have been together since 2020 as fans hope to see the pair marry.
