Gemma Owen claimed to be hit with instant guilt over a brutal 'snub' she delivered in the opening episode of this year's Love Island.
When the identities of the Love Island 2022 contestants were revealed at the start of last week, Gemma's was the name that raised more than a few eyebrows, given that she is the daughter of football star Michael Owen. Gemma is a sporting star in her own right, as an international dressage rider and, prior to her making her entrance in the Love Island villa, the 19-year-old admit that being competitive was "in her blood."
In a big change to Love Island tradition, the coupling up that takes place at the start of the Islanders time on the show was taken out their hands. Instead of the girls stepping forward to declare an interest in the boys as they walked in, host Laura Whitmore revealed that the public had already chosen for them.
