Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden's daughter applying to Love Island after mum's encouragement

and Brian McFadden's daughter Molly has revealed she is applying to this summer's Love Island.

The 18-year-old was chatting to her followers on Instagram, replying to comments from her fans on the app.

One commented on a selfie of hers, saying: "You look like you've had your lips done! you've been watching too much love island!"

To which Molly replied: "deffo applying for next year."

The teen counts Gemma Collins amongst her famous followers, and she has amassed 50.9k followers on Instagram, so she already has the influencer levels of fans necessary to take part on the show.

Other Love Islanders with famous family members have included Tommy Fury, whose brother is boxer Tyson Fury, and Sophie Piper, whose sister is Rochelle Humes from The Saturdays.

She previously said she was desperate for her daughters to appear on the show, as it can be extremely lucrative and she wants her kids to buy her a house.

The former Atomic Kitten singer said in her New! Magazine column: "It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if my Molly or Lilly wanted to give it a go.

"I'd actively encourage it! Get on the telly, make a fortune and buy me a house please, girls!"

She was writing in response to Zoe Ball revealing she would "disown" her son Woody if he appeared on Love Island - though she has previously said she was proud when he starred in Channel 4 reality show The Circle.

MirrorOnline has reached out to a rep for Kerry for comment.

Mum-of-five Kerry and Westlife singer Brian divorced in 2004, after two years of marriage.

Brian is now engaged to his girlfriend Danielle Parkinson, while Kerry is in a relationship with toyboy personal trainer, Ryan Mahoney.

This will be Brian's third marriage, while Kerry has also had two husbands since their relationship.
