Love Island fans were delighted after Gemma Owen finally referred to her famous father Michael Owen, even though she has not yet dropped him off at her fellow contestants.
The 19-year-old Gemma is the eldest daughter of the former soccer player and his childhood sweetheart Louise Ball, but despite the fact that Gemma is the daughter of a sports legend, Gemma has been keeping it a secret for some time now.
Even in moments where we thought she would eventually spill, like when Luca Bish brought up uncomfortable football and thought he would know more than the famous football player who became a commentator, Gemma kept quiet and called her father without actually mentioning him. .
It does not seem to be a repeat of former islander Marcel Somerville’s Blazin ‘Squad moments.
Last night, in an Unseen Bits track, Gemma finally mentioned her father in the privacy of the Beach Hut, though she did not name him.
Instead, she used his familiar football phrase following a segment where islanders were asked to make their best celebrity impression, with new bomb Antigoni Buxton imitating her famous chef mother, Tonia Buxton.
“There’s no way I’m going to do my dad,” Gemma told the camera, where the other contestants could not hear her.
She continued: ‘But people always do the classic: “If they don’t score, they don’t win.”
“It’s something like that. It’s some bulls ** t or whatever, ‘she added.
Fans were delighted that they finally saw her reference Michael, with one writing on Twitter: ‘Gemma finally calls her dad, so proud x’.
Another wrote: “Omg Gemma finally referred to her celeb father in invisible pieces!” while a third remarked, “If you do not score, you will not have a purpose.” This is a place on your father’s impression of being fair Gemma. ‘
Even Love Island narrator Iain Stirling itched for Gemma to finally reveal her famous roots.
In recent comments, Iain made a frustrating case: “When the hell will Gemma tell everyone that Michael Owen is her father ?!”
Hopefully, viewers will soon see Gemma reveal who her father is, especially after she came close to mentioning him in her chat with Luca last week.
The 23-year-old fishmonger, who tied up with Gemma who stole her from David Sanclimenti last night, asked Gemma if her father would like him, the 19-year-old dressage rider replied: “You, because you are sporty, you” Is in football, in racing, I think my father … I feel like you have things in common. “
‘I talk about football all the time. We will see if he knows what he is talking about, ”Luca answers boldly, and of course does not yet know the identity of her father.
For those like Luca who may need information, Gemma’s father, Michael, has played as a goal scorer for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Stoke City, as well as for the English national team.
Who knows when Gemma will finally spill the tea in the villa, and how uncomfortable it will be for Luca when she does.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
