Not all of the Love Island contestants were aware of Gemma Owen’s famous dad when they arrived in the villa. Islander Ikenna Ekwonna revealed that the stars were told she was the daughter of Michael Owen in unaired scenes just days after they moved in.
On companion show Aftersun last night, the former islander, 23, shared the secret to host Laura Whitmore. He was sharing his experiences on the show alongside 24-year-old Amber Beckford.
Ikenna explained what happened on the ITV2 show. He 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."
