Gemma Owen might be the youngest contestant on this year’s Love Island, but the teenager is reportedly planning to fly the nest when she gets out of the villa.
The 19-year-old currently lives at home with her famous dad, former footballer Michael Owen, mum Louise and three younger siblings, James, 16, Emily, 14, and Jessica, 12.
But pals say Gemma is preparing to swap the £4 million country family pad in North Wales – which has room for 12 horses - for a place of her own soon.
She is even said to have been house hunting before appearing on the ITV2 dating show.

A source told MailOnline : “Gemma will continue house hunting when she leaves the show.
“But there’s no chance of her moving a guy in. She wants to spend a bit of time on her own first before she makes that step.”
The pal added Gemma is “fiercely independent” and has plans to travel and promote her clothing line when Love Island finishes.
And protective dad Michael won’t have to worry about his oldest daughter going too far, as it is expected Gemma will stay around the Wales/Chester border.
This is where her dad already owns an apartment, which Gemma regularly visits when she goes on nights out.
As well as her clothing line, Gemma is a talented international dressage rider who has competed for Great Britain since she was 11.
Since she went into the Love Island villa she has amassed an impressive 543,000 Instagram followers so could have a successful career as an influencer too.
It is thought Gemma even has her sights set on a TV career after coming out the Love Island villa.
Producers are said to be keen to sign Gemma up for an ‘At Home With The Owen’s’ style programme, according to reports.
Before she even entered the villa, MailOnline revealed the teenager got her business affairs in order by setting up a new media company, suggesting she has big dreams for the future.
Gemma is currently coupled up with Brighton fishmonger Luca Bish.
But last night’s episode saw one of the most explosive rows so far erupt in the Love Island villa.
It all kicked off when Dami Hope shared his ‘party trick’ with a group of the islanders and said he could read Gemma’s mind.
Sitting with Ekin-Su and Indiyah, he told Gemma: “You’re happy with Luca right now. I feel like it would take a lot for your head to turn, but there is a small chance that it probably could if someone really came in that was 100% you.”
Gemma admitted: “Yeah, that was quite impressive. I don’t think you’re that far wrong.”
After Dami had asked for the conversation to stay private, Ekin-Su was quick to walk over to Paige Thorne and Jacques O’Neill to relay the juicy gossip.
This led to a blazing row between Gemma and Ekin-Su in which she branded the Turkish TV star a “d***head”.
She fumed: "You can't drop a bomb and then tell me to f***ing relax. I think that's d***head behaviour. Maybe you should keep your nose out of other people's business and shut up."
*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2
