Michael Owen's pal Jermaine Jenas says Gemma's Love Island stint is 'not ideal'

Jermaine Jenas has spilled the beans on how he would feel about his daughter appearing on Love Island in the future, as pal and fellow retired footballer Michael Owen watches his offspring on the current series of the show.

The One Show presenter, 39, admits he would be hesitant to see his children head to the infamous villa in Spain, but isn't "stupid enough" to be too against it as it would only result in more banter in the dressing room.

Jermaine, who played in the top flight for clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, has plans to wind up mate Michael, 42, next time he sees him, following the former England striker's daughter Gemma Owen hitting the headlines thanks to her stint on Love Island this summer.
