Michael Owen spoke of his pride in daughter Gemma as the fact that she and other half Luca Bish finished second on Love Island caused a row online as fans were divided.
From the moment her name appeared on the confirmed list of contestants for this year, Gemma was the most talked about Islander, largely down to the fact that her dad is a footballing icon. And, as the new series of Love Island progressed, the 19-year-old earned plenty of respect in her own right, often praised by viewers for being 'wise beyond her years' and cool and controlled in the manner she dealt with any drama in the villa.
However, while she clearly had a lot of support in the lead up to the final, Luca was much more divisive when it came to the opinions of fans, with many identifying 'red flags' in the early stages of their romance and others being appalled by the way he behaved in the Movie Night episodes and the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, before criticising him for a brutal remark he made to Gemma round the fire pit after they'd had a row.
