Gemma drops major hints about dad Michael Owen – and leaves Love Island fans cringing

LOVE Island’s Gemma Owen almost revealed her famous dad’s identity by dropping yet ANOTHER hint.

So far the new Islander hasn’t revealed who her famous father is to her love interests.

Gem’s fellow Islanders have no idea Michael Owen is her father

Gemma’s dad is of course former England footy ace Michael Owen.

But unlike Dani Dyer from series 4 who straight away revealed her papa was actor Danny Dyer, Gem is being a little more coy.

Lucky for you we spotted a few times the 19-year-old dropped a hint about her dad.

In Thursday night’s episode in a conversation with Luca, Gemma said he would get on well with her dad.

“You’re sporty and you’re into football, you’re into racing.. you’d have stuff in common with my dad.”

Luca asked: “Would me and your dad go out and do things together or does he not get close to people?”

Gemma replied: “He was quite close with my first boyfriend.

“I think he appreciates a guy who’s into sport and all that kind of stuff. I hear you talking about football and racing and I’m like ooo.”

Luca replied: “Yeah I enjoy playing football and I know what I’m talking about with football.”

“Yeah you talk about it all the f***ing time,” laughed Gemma.

And in a major blunder from Luca he said cockily: “Well, we’ll see if he [your dad] knows what he’s talking about.”

But Gemma’s hints originally started on the launch episode when she was chatting to Liam, who she was coupled up.

She asked him about his history with playing football, and if he had “played at a professional level”.

He instantly thought this was because she had dated a footballer, a comment Gemma immediately made clear was not true.

Later the she dropped the biggest hint, when she revealed her surname was Owen.

Gemma got herself into a love triangle after “cheating” on Liam with Italian bombshell Davide.

Tonight’s instalment of the ITV2 dating show saw the new sexy singletons take part in a game of dares.

But before that, they were put into their new couples – which were picked by the public, and saw Gemma paired off with Liam.

After spending a little time with their new partners, they gathered at the firepit to play a game.

And it soon became clear that some aren’t interested in the person that they’ve been coupled up with.

Before the game, the islanders were left shocked when hunky Davide, 27, appeared.

Gemma made her opinion on the newbie very clear in the Beach Hut.

The businesswoman was asked to kiss the islander that she wanted to share a bed with – so she gave Davide a peck on the lips.

Her choice left Liam gutted.

At the end of the game Davide received a text.

It said: “Davide, in 24 hours you will couple up with a girl of your choice, leaving one boy single and vulnerable.”

The other couples were revealed as: Dami Hope and Amber Beckford, Indiyah Polack and Ikenna Ekwonna.

Tasha Ghouriand and Andrew Le Page, and Luca Bish and Paige Thorne were also coupled up together.
