Michael Owen could be set for Love Island appearance

Michael Owen could be set for an appearance on Love Island.

The former Liverpool FC player's daughter is an Islander on the latest season of the popular dating programm e. The 19-year-old has been one of the major talking points in the series and is coupled up with Luca Bish.

The show has been rocked with chaos this week with the introduction of Casa Amor. The second villa traditionally results in the programme's most dramatic moments as the arrival of a new batch of contestants means heads may be turned.

However, Gemma and Luca have both stayed loyal to each other throughout their separation and look likely to recouple. The two have endured a rollercoaster relationship in the Majorcan villa, but fans now seem to be fully behind their romance and bookies have tipped them to be this season's winners.

Betting comparison site Oddschecker has Gemma and Luca as the favourites to win with odds at 10/3. Love Island fans following the show on Twitter have been keen to hear Gemma's footballing dad's reaction to her performance on the show.

However, if Gemma and Luca's romance continues to win over the public then fans could get a glimpse of the 42-year-old on the show. It is a tradition on Love Island that the finalists welcome their parents and family into the villa to introduce them to their new partners.

If Gemma and Luca remain in the villa then it could mean Owen gets to finally meet Luca in the latter stages of this series. The former striker claimed to have barely watched the programme, with a source telling the Daily Mail his wife Louise Owen "keeps him up to date". He is also said to have banned Louise from mentioning any "bad stuff" from the programme.

Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub
