Love Island star Gemma Owen’s dad Michael breaks his silence after sexy heart rate challenge

MICHAEL Owen has broken his silence after watching his daughter Gemma in Love Island's sexy heart rate challenge.

The football legend has kept quiet about the 19-year-old's antics on the ITV2 so far - but was pushed to react last night.

He simply tweeted an emoji of a face with a peeking eye.

It's used to express the feeling of embarrassment, at the same time as being unable to stop watching.

Gemma performed an X-rated dominatrix routine on the show .

The professional equestrian - who is 19-years-old - showed off her best sexy dance moves in the heart pumping challenge.

One viewer asked Michael: "How's your heart rate, Michael?"

Another sympathised: "Sorry you had to see your daughter like that..every man's nightmare."

Someone else said: "All I was thinking through that was what would Michael Owen be thinking."

Gemma and the rest of the girls put on their most seductive outfits and gave each boy a lap dance in a bid to raise their heart rate.

Then the boys gave it their best shot.

But some viewers at home weren't happy watching Michael Owens' oldest daughter taking part.

One wrote on Twitter: "Gemma is too young for these challenges."

A second said: "Gemma is too young for this."

"There’s something wrong about Gemma doing this challenge. Like I feel like it’s too young for her," a third chimed in.

A fourth questioned: "Wait Gemma is actual to young to be doing this no?"

After the first episode viewers were all shocked to discover Gemma's age when she revealed she's just 19 years old.

The teenager was quizzed by the other girls after entering the villa in the show launch.

The surprised Islanders reacted with gasps - as Gemma laughed: "Yeah, not many people expect it."

Paige murmured to the others: "Oh my gosh do you feel old now? See, 24 is old."

"You're not old," Tasha reassured her.

One viewer tweeted: "Gemma is 19? NO WAYYY. I used to look like a teenager at that age."

Another wrote: "Gemma is 19??? I'm nearly 10 years older than her and I look closer to 19 than she does."

Gemma's age has been a huge talking point so far.

Furious fans threatened to call Ofcom over her date with Davide Sanclimenti, 27.
