He may have had a stellar football career, but Michael Owen was on the sub bench on Thursday evening as his 19-year-old daughter Gemma took centre stage at the National Television Awards.
Walking the red carpet, the retired striker, 42, looked proud as punch as he joined Gemma for the ceremony to celebrate the best of television over the past year.
Gemma, who has soared to fame as a Love Island reality star, stole the spotlight as she wore an off the shoulder gold jewelled dress, while Michael looked dapper in a smart black suit.
Dressage rider Gemma became a huge hit with viewers on this year's Love Island, alongside partner Luca Bish.
The pair coupled up pretty early on in the series and went all the way to the final. However, the pair lost out on being crowned winners to Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti.
The father and daughter beamed for photos before heading inside the OVO Arena in Wembley to join a whole host of stars.
The 2022 NTAs were originally due to take place on September 15 but were put on hold as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen.
However the night is finally here to celebrate stars and talent of the TV industry.
The Masked Singer's Joel Dommett is hosting the long-awaited ceremony for the second time.
This year nominees including Cillian Murphy, Sir David Attenborough, Katie Price, Graham Norton and many more.
Overall, there are 65 nominees in 16 categories, including the brand new Expert category which includes nominees Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, as well as Kaleb Cooper from Clarkson's Farm.
The NTA's are always a special moment in the showbiz industry, with this year's awards being particularly meaningful due to the collection of poignant documentaries, soap storylines, and drama series that 2022 had to offer.
After a hugely exciting year of TV – which included the most-watched series of Love Island, the final series of Peaky Blinders, and some eye-opening documentaries from stars including Tom Parker's wife Kelsey Parker, and Katie Price - the most famous faces on TV have made up for lost time as they dressed to impress for the exciting night ahead.
