An old tweet posted by former Liverpool footballer Michael Owen has resurfaced following his daughter's appearance on Love Island.
In Tuesday evening's show, bombshell Davide chose to couple up with Gemma, 19, after also getting to know dancer and model Tasha and paramedic Paige. Gemma was originally partnered with 22-year-old student Liam as a result of the initial coupling announced by host Laura Whitmore and voted for by the British public.
While stood at the firepit before making his choice, 27-year-old business owner Davide, who is originally from Rome but lives in Manchester, said: "Naturally, it has not been easy to choose because in only 24 hours it is difficult to try to know everyone and try to make the right decision.
