‘National Treasure’ Gemma Owen, 19, Expected to Become Richest Love Island Contestant Ever

Michael Owen’s daughter becomes the richest Love Island participant ever by launching a clothing and lifestyle brand.

Gemma Owen19, has won herself an army of young female fans after hitting the ITV reality show.

And now sources close to her say she is going to capitalize on her popularity among the 18-24 generation by expanding her OG swimwear range to sell clothing, accessories, and maybe even homewares.

One told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Gemma hasn’t taken any waste from the men in the villa and as a result she has become a bit of a national treasure among young, female Love Island fans.

“They admire her no-nonsense attitude, she has become a role model for them and there is a real chance for her to turn this into a huge financial victory.”

Miss Owen – an international dressage star and has competed for Great Britain – is likely to be in the final tomorrow with her friend Luca Bish, a fishmonger from Brighton.

She is the eldest child of former Liverpool and England forward Owen and his wife Louise Bonsall.

Owen has been open about how difficult it was for him to watch his daughter at the villa.

In tomorrow night’s final, Miss Owen and Bish will likely face Ekin-Su Culuculogu and Davide Sanclimenti, Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, Paige Thorne and Adam Collard and Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri.

But win or lose, Miss Owen is tipped to become even richer than 2018’s Molly-Mae Hague, who is worth a whopping £4.5 million.

Despite this year’s series being one of the most controversial ever, with 5000 complaints to television regulator Ofcom about misogyny by the male contestants, ITV boss Kevin Lygo said the broadcaster is “very happy with the way things are going so far.” gone’.

He said: “When the series ends on Monday, we will always sit down and see what we think, what the response has been and how well it has performed.

“And we have to say that this year, remember, it’s the best year we’ve had in many years and I think everyone is really enjoying it.”

He added that they will look into “improving” it for the next series.

ITV is under pressure for putting ratings above contestants’ well-being following the suicides of former cast members Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis. Host Caroline Flack also committed suicide in February 2020.
