Love Island’s Luca takes swipe at Michael Owen’s football knowledge to Gemma in major blunder

LOVE Island’s Luca made a major blunder as he took a cheeky swipe at Michael Owen’s football knowledge to Gemma.

Football-mad Luca, 23, doesn’t know Gemma’s dad is former England footy ace Michael Owen.

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

So as he cockily showed off about his sport skills, he ended up putting his foot in it.

Tonight Luca made a move on Gemma for the first time – kissing her in the game and then taking her onto the balcony for a chat.

As they spoke about fancying each other, Luca asked if he’d get on with her family.

She told him: “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.”
