While most fans of Love Island are more than aware that Gemma Owen is the daughter of legendary ex-footballer Michael Owen, they might not know that another Islander has a famous dad too.
Maybe Gemma had more in common with Liam Llewellyn than they initially realised when they were coupled up by the public on the first episode of this series on Monday night. It appears that both of the contestants, who are looking for love, have stayed tight-lipped about their sport star dads.
Liam’s dad has been revealed to be Welsh rugby hero David Llewelyn, a former Wales International Rugby Union player. David, known as Dai to friends, now trains other professional athletes including new Welsh boxing talent Joe Cordina, who won the super-featherweight title this month.
