Eagle-eyed fans have spotted Love Island star Luca Bish on another reality TV show.

The 23-year-old fishmonger can be seen in an episode of Channel 4’s Night Coppers which aired earlier this week.

The show follows the British police force at nighttime, and in Tuesday’s episode, officers were called to Brighton to break up a fight between men dressed as Christmas elves.

While Luca himself was not involved in the fighting, he can be seen in the background of one of the shots dressed as an elf, naturally.

As he passes with his friends, one of the officers says: “Are they different elves? They are multiplying.”

In recent weeks, Luca has attracted criticism from Love Island viewers over his behaviour on the show.

Together with Irish man Dami Hope, Luca has been accused of bullying fellow contestant Tasha Ghouri. He has also been accused of controlling behaviour.

Following extensive criticism from fans, the domestic violence charity Women’s Aid announced that they would be working with Love Island.

In a statement issued through Metro, the organisation said: “At Women’s Aid we are being tagged into a stream of Twitter posts, with viewers of Love Island highlighting the misogyny and controlling behaviour being shown on screen.

“This is clearly more than talking about any individual contestants, and a programme based around the formation of romantic relationships must have guidelines on what behaviour is acceptable and unacceptable in those relationships.

“We are talking to ITV, and they have shared with us information on their inclusion training, but what appears to be missing is specific information on abusive relationships and an understanding of controlling behaviour in relationships.”

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and on the Virgin Media Player.
