Michael Owen glad Gemma 'didn't disgrace' family on ITV's Love Island

Gemma Owen has given her dad's verdict on her behaviour during her time in the Love Island villa.

The 19-year-old entrepreneur came in second place with fishmonger partner Luca Bish on the ITV2 dating show. Today, they appeared on Good Morning Britain to talk about their experience with Charlotte Hawkins and Richard Madeley.

Luca admitted that he is still yet to meet the footballing legend, and failed to elaborate on whether or not there was a future meeting set up. Richard then asked Gemma what her dad thought of seeing her on the show and coupling up with Luca.

Gemma said: "He just says oh you know 'so proud, you didn't do anything to disgrace us' or whatever. He's happy. Everyone seems to be just buzzing."

She admitted that her feelings for Luca stopped growing, as she said: " In the villa, there were only a certain amount of feelings I could get for Luca in that environment because you've got nothing to do with the outside. I got to that point with the last week or two left and I was just like I kind of just want to get out now and start experiencing normal stuff and have a normal life."

Richard went on to ask if they seemed different to each other now that they were out in the 'real world'. Luca looked at Gemma as he replied: "You've changed a little bit." Charlotte said: "Oh!" in shock before Luca quickly added: "For the better. She's come more out of her shell like when I saw you with your mum and stuff."

Gemma replied: "Well with my mum, obviously I'm super close to my mum. So maybe you haven't seen that weird side to me yet."

Richard asked about the future as he said: "Are you going to get engaged?" Gemma laughed before replying: "We're not even boyfriend and girlfriend yet."

Charlotte asked: "So are you sort of official then?" Luca replied: "Not yet." Gemma added: "I mean we're pretty much official we just haven't put a label on it." Luca said: "I will do it."

The couple denied the rumours of them having a tiff during the reunion. Luca said that they were quiet and walked straight in there and straight back out without speaking to anyone.
