Gemma Owen is unrecognisable in these baby-faced photos taken before her Love Island transformation
Daughter of ex-Liverpool striker Michael Owen, Gemma, aged 19, is youngest star in the villa so far this year and is also known for competing in international dressage and launching her own beachwear range - OG Beachwear.
But before she was turning heads on the Spanish isle of Majorca, Gemma was a toddler in pigtails, seen supporting her dad at matches and joining the family at events in years gone by.

In recent episodes, we've seen Italian heartthrob stole Gemma away from Liam.
From wearing matching jerseys at Newcastle United's ground to days at the races in 2005 to 2022, these childhood images capture Gemma's transformation from footballer's daughter to Love Island contestant.
Since heading into the villa it has been revealed that Gemma's family have come up with a plan to try and help the model save face when she leaves.
Gemma's famous family are reportedly working behind the scenes to try and boost her profile by the time she leaves the villa. The Love Island star's family have signed her up to the specialist PR agency which looks after former finalist Maura Higgins, 31, to boost her image.
After just three days in the villa, Off Limits Entertainment is now on board to look after Gemma’s image once she departs the show. The agency already advises some of Love Island’s most successful stars including Maura, Shaughna Phillips, 28, Chris Hughes, 29, and Georgia Steel, 24. It also looks after former boxers Amir Khan, 35, and Carl Froch, 44, and X Factor and I’m a Celebrity… contestant Jake Quickenden, 33.
It comes after Love Island's Liam Llewelyn's dad hit out at Gemma "bad attitude" towards his son. Former Wales International Rugby Union player David Llewelyn has jokingly revealed what he would say to footballer Michael Owen after fans claimed his daughter Gemma was "rude" to Liam after they were coupled up on the show.
