Gone are the days when Love Island contestants were ordinary people with less than 1000 Instagram followers. These days, contestants are more likely to be the children of wealthy and famous parents.
Islanders are often discreet about who their famous family is when they first get to the villa, but as the show plays out, some contestants are itching to name-drop who’s in their bloodline. Like when Gemma Owen casually admitted her dad was the football legend Michael Owen in summer 2022, or when the son of Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating popped up in the same season. Last year, there was one confirmed nepo baby on the lineup, Molly Marsh – the 21-year-old daughter of Coronation Street actor Janet Marsh. Will there be anymore on the 2024 line-up?
