Love Island has returned, with the 2022 line-up<\/a> set to make waves. One contestant who managed to do so before even entering the villa was 19-year-old Gemma Owen<\/a>, daughter of England striker Michael Owen.<\/p>\n

The footballer-turned-pundit was even teased about his daughter\u2019s stint on the show on-air during Channel 4\u2019s coverage of the Nations League game by presenter Jules Breach.<\/p>\n

Introducing the punditry team before the match, Breach joked: \u201cJoining me hoping to see another famous win for England tonight in Munich, England and Arsenal midfield Jordan Nobbs, former England, West Ham and Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole and the father of Love Island<\/a>\u2019s Gemma Owen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The presenter went on to ask Michael how he was feeling after the previous night, which marked Gemma\u2019s Love Island debut, and the former Liverpool star appeared keen to move away from the subject.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came all the way to Germany to try and avoid all that back home, but it has been brought up straight away,\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I am feeling alright. This is taking my mind off it so don\u2019t bring it back up!\u201d<\/p>

Gemma had previously revealed her father wasn\u2019t \u201cbuzzing\u201d about the fact she\u2019d joined the dating show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, the dressage rider explained: \u201cI still wouldn\u2019t say he was buzzing about the fact. But he\u2019s very supportive with whatever I decide to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t have a massive tantrum or anything like that. It was pretty chilled. He sort of trusts me not to do anything and not to embarrass him or anything like that. So I guess he took it quite well.\u201d<\/p>\n
