LOVE Island star Liam was shocked to discover who Gemma’s dad is when he left the villa.
The 22-year-old, who was coupled up with Gemma by the public, admitted he is a huge fan of Michael Owen – but had no idea.
Speaking after he quit the ITV2 show, star struck Liam said: “I can’t believe who that actually was. That’s mad. I’m a United fan. I actually have one of his tops when he came to the club.”
He added: “That first night, we were chatting about football and her family. I was so close. I can’t believe I didn’t quite work it out.”
Gemma has not told anyone in the villa about her very famous dad – despite the lads constantly talking about football.
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.”
Those watching at home think her secret might soon be rumbled though because her ex Jacques has just entered the villa and could spill the beans.
