Michael Owen has slammed Love Island viewers who have called his daughter Gemma "rude and too young". The 19 year old dressage rider and daughter of the famous footballer has caused quite the stir since entering the villa this week, being branded "rude" by some viewers as she made a comment on Lucas Bish’s name .

Recalling a conversation with his wife Louise about the show, he continued: "I said to Louise, 'Do they really have to sleep together, like in the same bed?'.
