When the 2022 cast of Love Island was first announced, many eyes immediately panned to a certain Gemma Owen. The surname drew the attention of football fans as it was revealed that she is in fact the daughter of former Liverpool and England striker Michael Owen.
However, two episodes in and Gemma has resisted the temptation to reveal all about her famous father. Incidentally, during Tuesday evening's episode, Michael was simultaneously broadcasting on Channel 4 as a pundit for England’s 1-1 draw against Germany, with many joking that Michael would put himself through anything to avoid watching her daughter in the villa.
The 19-year old has come in for a fair amount of stick from Love Island viewers during her brief time on the show. Many fans feel that she shouldn’t have been allowed on the show due to her age.
