Michael Owen has given a telling sign of his endorsement to Luca Bish.
The former Liverpool FC striker's daughter, Gemma Owen, is in a relationship with the fishmonger after they met on Love Island. The two's relationship blossomed in the Majorcan villa as they finished in second place during the popular dating programme.
Gemma and Luca have taken things further in their relationship as they enjoyed their first holiday together last week. They joined Gemma's family and friends in Portugal and the 19-year-old filmed some new content for her swimwear business, OG.

It appears Luca left a good impression on Gemma's family as the BT Sports pundit has now followed him on Instagram. Gemma and Luca have since left the holiday early - and Owen has addressed her exit on the social media platform.
He shared a snap of himself with wife Louise Owen and daughters Emily and Jessica, and son James. The post was simply captioned "Family -1" with a Portugal flag emoji.
Gemma quickly commented on the post, saying: "I was there for 4 days and you wait till I leave to get a family picture". Owen replied: "Part timers don’t make the cut."
Luca also commented on the post, referring to the "-1" part of Owen's caption, he added: "-2*".
