Love Island's Luca Bish and Gemma Owen finally chat to dad Michael

Love Island fans watched on as the islanders' family members entered the villa in the show's penultimate episode.

Viewers have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Gemma Owen's football legend dad Michael Owen, but sadly he didn't appear. Instead, Gemma's mum Louise, and friend Sarah came to see the 19-year-old.

Louise did tell Gemma: "Honestly, he is really proud of you, really proud". She then added that the whole family is "all loving watching you, they’re missing you like mad."

Luca was visited by his mum and dad, with his dad sharing the same name as Gemma's. Michael Bish told Luca: "She puts you straight doesn’t she?" Luca's mum Maria added: "First night I said they fancy each other, I knew it. I love the values and morals she has.”

As Gemma met the parents, Michael told her how happy he was for her and his son.

Elsewhere Indiyah's mum grilled Dami on his Casa Amor antics and even called him "Deji" by mistake. Indiyah said she "wanted the ground to swallow her up". But fans were more focused on the whereabouts of Michael Owen.

Taking to Twitter, Val said: "Michael Owen didn't even do a cheeky video chat", while MC said: "The lads when Michael Owen didn't turn up" - with an image of a couple of football fans looking devastated. Medzz_7 said: "No way Michael Owen didn't turn up", while Joshua said: "8 weeks and no Michael Owen".

The Love Island final airs tomorrow (Monday) from 9pm on ITV2 and the ITV Hub
