Michael Owen 'barely watching Love Island' and will be 'relieved when Gemma's home'

Love Island fans breathed a sigh of relief this week as not only has 21-year-old Danica finally coupled up with someone with whom she feels "a vibe" at last, she also narrowly escaped last night's mass dumping from the villa which saw islanders say farewell to a whopping four people. Lacey Edwards, Deji Adeniyi, Nathalia Campos and Reece Ford were dumped, having failed to win the hearts of anyone in the villa convincingly enough for viewers to vote for them.

Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was "lost for words" when Davide Sanclimenti asked her to be exclusive with him during Sunday's instalment of the ITV2 reality show. However, despite the Italian heartthrob, 27, and the Turkish soap star, also 27, committing to each other, it appeared as though not every couple were so pleased for them.

Love Island fans were convinced they had spotted the biggest sign yet that Gemma Owen isn't into Luca Bish. The pair have been coupled up since early in the hit ITV2 series. But it appears there may be trouble in paradise.

Love Island’s Luca Bish and Gemma Owen have been one of the strongest couples in the villa - and had some of the least drama. On Friday night’s episode there was a recoupling and Gemma, 19, chose to stick with 23 year old Luca in a romantic speech.

Love Island's latest arrival, "ladies man" Billy Brown, has given his fans a glimpse inside his Surrey home with a modern kitchen.The bombshell is one of six new boys to enter Casa Amor and his school-boy charm seems to have won over the likes of Tasha Ghouri and Paige Thorne. But does his home reflect his cheeky character? The 23 year old can be seen sitting on a wooden countertop inside an all-white kitchen with modern fixtures and fittings. Sporting blonde highlights in the pre-Love Island snaps, he teams each outfit with either white or brightly coloured footwear while he casually lounges.

It's been a few days since Gemma Owen finally mentioned her famous dad while appearing in Love Island. The 19-year-old is the daughter of former footballer Michael Owen but despite being in the ITV2 dating show's villa for weeks, viewers haven't really heard her mention him.

Before the eighth series of Love Island began, rumours spread that Michael Owen's daughter Gemma would be amongst the original line-up. Ever since the 19-year-old brunette beauty walked into the Mallorcan villa four weeks ago, fans of the hit ITV2 show have been eager to hear her speak about her famous dad.

Gemma Owen surprised viewers on Wednesday 29 June evening's episode of Love Island as she flashed her breasts at Luca Bish from the villa terrace. Dressed in nothing but a towel, the 19 year old international dressage rider quickly opened and closed the towel to a very happy looking Luca, 23, who stood below in the garden.

Love Island's Gemma Owen is no stranger to the spotlight as the daughter of former Manchester United and Liverpool footballer Michael Owen. But despite fans of the ITV2 show knowing who Gemma's famous dad is, the international dressage rider seems to have kept the news pretty quiet amongst her fellow Islanders.

Former football star Jermaine Jenas has told OK! that he plans to 'wind up' pal Michael Owen about the fact his daughter Gemma is currently appearing on dating series Love Island.The ex-midfielder, 39, who has co-hosted BBC's The One show alongside Alex Jones and Ronan Keating since 2020, admitted that although he'd be hesitant to allow his own daughter to appear on the smash-hit ITV2 dating show, he understands that she show can be used as a career-booster. "I’m not stupid enough to say, 'I’d be fuming'," he laughs during our interview.

Love Island contestants were aware of Gemma Owen’s famous dad when they arrived in the villa. Islander Ikenna Ekwonna revealed that the stars were told she was the daughter of Michael Owen in unaired scenes just days after they moved in. On companion show Aftersun last night, the former islander, 23, shared the secret to host Laura Whitmore.
