LOVE Island fans are convinced that the Islanders know that Gemma’s dad is famous footballer Michael Owen.
So far the dressage rider, 19, has kept quiet about her well-known family, but viewers think that probably changed when her ex Jacques entered the villa.
Jacques and Gemma previously dated for eight months and appears to have been close to her family as he asked after them on the show.
And those watching at home reckon he must have told everyone else by now.
Speculating about the situation, one person wrote: “I’m sure Jacques will say in a convo “do you know who her dad is?” Them: “who” Jacques: “what? She ain’t told you yet”. Them: No, who is it” Here comes Luca “ Wait her surname is Owen, omggg its Michael Owen” #LoveIsland.”
Another person questioned: “Just a thought, how has jacques not spilled the beans on who Gemma’s dad is yet? #LoveIsland.”

While someone else wrote: “So are we supposed to believe that none of the islanders know who Gemma’s dad is yet…
#loveisland.”
And a further viewer remarked: “Surely by now the Islanders should know that Gemma has famous parents (her dad)… literally no one is getting this much attention! It’s not even love island anymore! Ex on the Beach meets Gemma Island!
#LoveIsland.”
Luca certainly appears to be rather attached to Gemma and has made a number of references to football – leading fans to think he does know about Michael.
At one point she even told Luca that he would get on with her father.
She told him: “You’re sporty and you’re into football, you’re into racing.. you’d have stuff in common with my dad.”
Gemma continued: “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.
He said cockily: “Well, we’ll see if he [your dad] knows what he’s talking about.”
Liam – who decided to quit the villa – admitted he had no idea though and got a real shock when he left and found out the truth.
