Love Island's Gemma Owen shows off toned abs in gym selfie as she says time post-Christmas is 'killing her'

Gemma Owen didn't relax for too long over the Christmas period as she headed back to the gym. The Love Island star spent the big day with her family, including her famous former footballer dad Michael Owen, at their lavish family home in Chester.

Nineteen-year-old Gemma, who appeared on this year's edition of the ITV2 dating show where she met now ex-boyfriend Luca Bish, shared some snaps of the families’ celebrations earlier this week, including showing a large table with around 20 places prepared.

She also took to Instagram with a sweet snap of herself alongside her dad and her mum Louise Bonsall. Gemma looked gorgeous as she posed between her parents while donning an all-white strapless jumpsuit while her hair was styled in loose waves. Louise also looked stunning in sparkling beige number which she paired with matching cream shoes while Michael posed in a smart polo shirt and jeans.

"Feeling grateful for those closest to me. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas," Gemma captioned the snap to her millions of followers. The dressage rider has since returned to Instagram with a photo of herself, showing off her toned physique.

She could be seen in the photo, which she posted to her Instagram Story on Tuesday (December 17), in a khaki crop top and a pair of matching leggings while still donning plenty of jewellery. Gemma, who hid her face behind her phone for the snap taken in mirror, then penned: "Back to it, the lull before New Year is killing me."

Gemma’s family Christmas comes just weeks after she announced her split with former fishmonger Luca Bish, 23, whom she met on the show. The couple came second to Ekin-Su and Davide.

The pair were together for three months before splitting up in November. Gemma broke the news on Instagram with her own statement. She wrote: “To all my followers, I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn't an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both of us right now.

"Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning, and I wanted to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters." Later, Luca, a former fishmonger, shared his own statement and appeared to be unprepared for the news to break when it did.

Taking to his own Instagram stories, the 23-year-old wrote: “Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup. I would have liked to have had some time to process this privately but as you all already now know, Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.

"We have been on such a journey together and have made some amazing memories which I will treasure." He added: "I can’t thank everyone enough for their support for us as a couple during and after Love Island. We will remain good friends and I wish nothing but the best for her."
