Gemma from Love Island‘s dad is legendary ex-footballer Michael Owen – and it seems like everyone knows but her fellow contestants!
Michael got a ribbing when it was announced that his daughter would be taking part in the show – and it only got worse for the 42-year-old last night (Monday, June 6).
Love Island returns
Last night saw Love Island return to our screens, with a host of new contestants looking for love.
One contestant, in particular, has caught viewers’ attention already – namely Gemma Owen.
The reason for this? Because her father is ex-England football star, Michael Owen.

Much has already been said about Michael’s daughter being on the show – with the football star being the subject of plenty of mocking online.
Gemma made her debut on the show last night, and has already coupled up with one boy and kissed Davide during a game of dares.
Michael, of course, was on the wrong end of a ribbing during and after yesterday’s show.
Love Island memes
There were plenty of memes about Michael during last night’s show, however, he might not even see them.
The ex-Liverpool star reportedly ‘fled’ the country this week and is currently sunning it up in Germany while Gemma is in the villa.
Whether Michael is looking at them or not, here are some of our favourite memes being made about him!
