Before the eighth series of Love Island began, rumours spread that Michael Owen's daughter Gemma would be amongst the original line-up. Ever since the 19-year-old brunette beauty walked into the Mallorcan villa four weeks ago, fans of the hit ITV2 show have been eager to hear her speak about her famous dad.
But apart from mentioning him in her introduction video, Gemma seemed to keep her relationship with the former Manchester United and Liverpool striker under wraps, which has led viewers to believe that her fellow Islanders may not know her about her celebrity family.
That was until ex-Islander Ikenna Ekwonna, who left the show after a shock double dumping, revealed that the stars were told she was the daughter of Michael Owen in unaired scenes early on. Speaking to host Laura Whitmore on Aftersun, Ikenna said: "You know what's mad? We didn't really know until like the second or third day, but I don't think the girls knew that the guys knew."
