LOVE Island's Megan Barton Hanson has said Luca Bish had a point in his bust-up with Tasha Ghouri.
Megan – who appeared on the ITV2 reality show in 2018 -weighed in on the matter, saying she "rates him" for not sitting on the fence.
The row materialised after a game of Suck and Blow, where Dami said that Andrew was being walked over the most, and Luca picked Tasha as the person "riding someone's coattails" to get further in the villa.
Things only got worse during a game of Snog, Marry, Pie, where Tasha was pied three times in total – by Davide Sanclimenti, Dami and Luca.
Former Islander Megan said: "I think Luca's got a point to be honest."
"I feel like, good for him for saying how he feels and not sitting on the fence and just being quiet because he wants to be liked by everyone. I actually rate that," she told Radio Times.

She added that she actually "didn't like Luca as a person" at first due to the way he handled his relationship.
"I felt he was very protective and a lot with Gemma but I feel like he's just owning it and being himself and if that's how he feels, [then] good for him actually voicing that and I agree with him."
"I feel like it's so obvious that Tasha is just settling with [Andrew] because she thinks it's going to get her to the final, personally. So I agree with the boys."
Love Island was hit with a flurry of complaints following the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge.

Over 1,500 viewers contacted Ofcom in light of the episode, with the majority of the upset over the boys' misogynistic behaviour towards the girls in the aftermath of the game.
During the game, the boys gave reasons for their decision to pie Tasha.
Davide told her it was because she called him and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu the fakest couple.
Dami confessed he pied Tasha because she usually "gets away with a lot of stuff".
And Luca told her: "I could give you a list, but I'll let it go for today. It's just a game."
Fans rushed online to accuse the boys of bullying her, with ex-Islander Amber Gill writing on Twitter: "Gosh I hope Tasha is OK. These boys are basically bullying her at this point."
While another viewer said: "How the boys treat Tasha is so horrible, I can’t believe this. This is literally bullying and they’re always targeting Tasha and Ekin."
The complaints come just a week after the show was hit with over 3000 complaints for the Movie Night episode.
Fans felt that Ekin-Su had been unfairly targeted – as did her angry family.
Her account handler raged: “The fact that the s*** shaming is being passed off as banter and good television is very concerning at this rate #LoveIsland.”
Laura Whitmore's AfterSun received 427 complaints about the same topic.
