Michael Owen shares message on daughter Gemma after ITV Love Island finale as fans 'work out' why he missed parents episode

Michael Owen has shared his reaction to his daughter Gemma Owen finishing Love Island 2022 in second place. The former footballer's daughter entered the Mallorcan villa back in June as one of the original contestants in the ITV2 dating show this year. After a couple of partner swaps, she found herself with Luca Bish.
