Michael Owen laughs off jokes about his daughter Gemma’s starring role on Love Island

Michael Owen can’t avoid his daughter Gemma’s Love Island antics.

The former footballer turned pundit was confronted with jokes about his 19-year-old daughter’s TV role live on air on Tuesday night during Channel 4’s coverage of Germany v England in Berlin.

Just two hours before ITV2 viewers saw Gemma couple up with Italian Stallion Davide Sanclimenti, 27, in the Love Island villa, Michael was deflecting jokes from his colleagues about the raunchy dating show.
