Gemma Owen asked about dad's relationship on Love Island tonight

Love Island's Gemma Owen will open up about her mum and dad's relationship in tonight's show.

Louise Bonsall and footballer Michael Owen met in primary school in 1984 and became childhood sweethearts whilst at Hawarden High School in Flintshire, Wales. They married in 2005 and have four children together.

Gemma, the eldest child of Louise and Michael, has been coy about her father on the show, however, tonight Danica, who is coupled up with Halifax Town footballer Jamie, asks for her advice.

Admitting she’s gone from '0 - 100' with Jamie, Danica says to Gemma : “I know there’s sometimes a bit of a stereotype. Is he the kind of guy, young footballers, go into the clubs… I do forget your dad is primetime…”

Gemma says: “He [Jamie] knows he’s decent looking, he knows he can probably get girls… But it genuinely does depend on the type of person.”

Danica admits: “I don’t want to be naïve… I feel stupid saying it, I do really like him.”

Gemma says: “That’s not stupid at all. If it clicks then it clicks.”

Danica says: “I just have to hope and believe that the Jamie I’m seeing now is him and that is exactly what he’d be like on the outside.”

Speaking in the Beach Hut Danica adds: “Her [Gemma] mum and dad have been together since they were god knows how old, so you know, dreams do come true.”
