Michael Owen has issued a ban while "barely watching" Love Island despite daughter Gemma Owen being on the show.
The former LFC and England footballer is said to be "anxious" over how she could behave. Michael, 42, has previously shared concerns over Gemma taking part in the ITV2 dating show, reports the Mirror.
Recently, she has grown close to Luca Bish, 23, though they are currently separated as the girls spend some time in Casa Amor this week.

Michael has claimed not to have watched much of the show, 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.
The source said he will be "relieved" when Gemma has returned home, though they stated that he is "massively proud" of her and knows that she is a "sensible" person. They however said that Michael knows his eldest child is ambitious, with him reportedly being concerned about the lengths that she could go to in order to win the show.
Discussing his concern with the outlet, the source further commented that the father-of-three "hopes she doesn't take things too far" whilst she's appearing on the show. Michael Owen's rep has been approached for comment.
Gemma has been coupled up with Luca for most of the series so far, with them having shown little interest in getting to know other Islanders, in a romantic sense, over recent weeks.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and the ITV Hub
