Love Islander Liam Llewellyn said he was 'buzzing' to be coupled up with Gemma Owen but never sensed she felt the same after his exit from the ITV show. Liam decided to leave the villa during Friday night's episode where he was seen telling his new friends he hadn't been giving 'a 100% Liam'.
And in his first interview since bidding farewell during an appearance on spin-off show Aftersun, he told host Laura Whitmore that he always knew Gemma wasn't into him. He also found out who her dad is - former superstar footballer Michael Owen, reports the MEN.
Liam said: "I was buzzing when I coupled up with Gemma. I got the feeling her head was elsewhere. I can't believe who her dad was. I can't believe I didn't work it out," he told Laura as he appeared via video link from Newport. "It's crazy. I didn't expect the support. It's a big eye-opener for me how many people were on my side and had my back. I was looking at Gemma when I walked in and hoping it was her I would couple up with."
