I'm A Celebrity line-up rumours put Michael Owen in frame for jungle stint

Mihael Owen is now being tipped for a place on the I'm A Celbrity line-up, weeks after daughter Gemma made the Love Island final.

While he didn't end up going into the villa for Love Island's Meet the Parents day, former Liverpool and Newcastle striker Michael was an avid viewer of the show and, after Gemma and other half Luca Bish finished second to Ekin-Su and Davide, the footballer and racing horse owner was quick to post about how the 19-year-old had done everyone proud.

Well, now as Gemma is adjusting to her post- Love Island fame, with her signing a £600,000 deal with clothing brand Boohoo and seeing her Instagram following soar past the one million mark, odds on dad Michael heading into the jungle for I'm A Celebrity have now dropped to 6/1.
