Ulrika Jonsson says Gemma Owen is only on Love Island because of famous footballer dad

Ulrika Jonsson believes Gemma Owen has only got on Love Island because of her dad Michael Owen, saying she "slid on to the show off the back of someone else's fame."

The presenter, 54, shared her thoughts on the dressage rider, 19, in a recent opinion piece, writing that she feels "utterly resistant" to Gemma being on the ITV2 dating series.

The mother-of-four suspects the islander only made it on to the show because she's the daughter of renowned footballer Michael, 42 - rather than due to herself.
