Love Island fans all ask the same question as Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma joins the show’s cast

LOVE Island stars have all been asking the same question since Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma joined the show.

Everyone wants to know if the 42-year-old football legend, one of England’s greatest ever players, will turn up in the villa in the family reunion day.

Each year – normally near the end of the series – the contestants bring in their mum and dad to meet their new partner.

Several fans were thrilled at the prospect, with one tweeting: “Omg will we actually see Michael Owen go into the villa when the parents come in 💀 pls (providing she gets that far obv).”

Gemma – confirmed today as one of the stars of Love Island this year – is far from the first person with a celebrity relative to appear.

Dani Dyer‘s dad is of course EastEnders legend Danny, while Sophie Piper was This Morning star Rochelle Humes’ sister.

And 2019 star Tommy Fury’s brother is fellow boxer and two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Danny appeared via video link in the 2018 series of Love Island where he quizzed Dani’s then-boyfriend Jack Fincham.

Gemma, 19, is a Team GB dressage champion, who owns a swimwear company.

She is the eldest of former England and Liverpool football player Michael and childhood sweetheart Louise Bonsall’s four children.

The young star launched her swimwear company – OG Beachwear – during the first coronavirus lockdown back in 2020.

Speaking before going into Love Island she said: “Sport has always been a big thing for me and my family.

“My dad was a professional football player. I’ve competed for Great Britain in dressage since I was 11-years-old.

“I’ve travelled all across Europe competing in big arenas in big competitions.

“I would say I’m very competitive. [When it comes to relationships] I will always go for what I want.

“But at the same time, I’m not going to mess up something for someone who is in a proper relationship or get in the way of a couple if they have a genuine connection.

“I wouldn’t do anything to another girl that I wouldn’t be happy with them doing to me.”
