Carl Fogarty has shared a sweet message as his daughter Claudia prepares to enter Love Island in tonight's episode.
The motorcycling legend wished his daughter goodluck as she arrives in the villa as a bombshell, wearing red angel wings.
Sharing a photo of himself and Claudia raising a glass, he wrote: "Good luck to my daughter @claudiafogarty who makes her long awaited appearance on tonight’s @loveisland.."
The former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star followed the tweet emojis of a monkey covering its face and a finger's crossed emoji.
But not everyone was so supportive in the comments.
"Oooffft Why are you happy about that," one of Carl's fans asked the Love Island dad.
"Why are these kids so desperate for fame through a trashy programme," another critic penned, as a third wrote: "Really Foggy. WHY!!!!"
A fourth Instagram user commented: "Wouldn't be advertising that."
The official Love Island account on social media announced the news on Thursday afternoon, as they teased in the caption: "Boys, get ready for Blackburn babe Claudia."
Claudia already lived a glamourous life before entering the Love Island villa this evening, with over 20,000 followers on Instagram and a successful fashion business with her sister Danielle.
The siblings set up Storm Fashion in 2019 before going on to create Sister Stories.
The online store sells "high-end and premium brands for women in the heart of the Ribble Valley [Lancashire]" - with both sisters saying it was a "dream" create their own brand.
Claudia regularly models her merchandise on Instagram, where she also treats fans to a string of bikini pics as she suns herself on far-flung holidays.
Ahead of her reality TV debut this evening, it was claimed Claudia had promised dad Carl she wouldn't do anything 'too raunchy' on national TV.
“Her [Claudia's] life might be glamorous but family means everything to her and she’d love to meet the man of her dreams and settle down. But she’s promised not to be too raunchy, to save Dad’s blushes," a source told The Sun earlier this week.
She will will follow in the footsteps of her 57-year-old Superbike star father, Carl - who became a reality star by winning I’m A Celeb back in 2014 - by dipping her toe into the reality world.
ITV spoilers have revealed that the Islanders are finally treated to the steamy heart-rate challenge on the ITV2 reality show tonight - before Claudia's big entrance.
It’s a new day in the villa and the Islanders receive another surprise text message inviting them to get dressed up and show off their sexiest moves as the infamous fan favourite challenge returns.
The boys are up first as they each perform a sultry dance routine for the girls, who are sporting heart-rate monitors to see who gets their pulses racing.
