ITV Love Island's Gemma Owen works with dad Michael for first time since reality fame after opening up on Luca romance

Love Island's Gemma Owen has made a hilarious dig at her dad Michael as they were together for the first time since she found reality TV fame this summer. The 19-year-old was the youngest singleton who headed to Majorca for the 2022 edition of the ITV2 dating series.

Despite initially being partnered with early exiter Liam Llewellyn and stolen by Davide Sanclimenti, it was Luca Bish who Gemma ended up finding a romantic connection with and after several weeks in the famous villa, the loved-up pair emerged as runner-up to eventual winners Davide and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

Following the show's grand final in August, former Liverpool and Manchester United ace Michael was delighted to have Gemma back home. At the time, he shared a photo sitting with Gemma on the "dreaded" yellow bean bag which she has brought home with her - as both beamed on the lawn of the family's £4m mansion. And Michael shared his relief at finally having Gemma home after two months away in the famous TV villa.
