Michael Owen has broken his silence on his daughter's lapdance on Love Island.
Gemma Owen is competing on the latest season of the popular dating programme. Tuesday's edition of the show saw the return of the heart rate challenge.
The raunchy feature tasks the girls against the boys to see who can raise each other's heart rate highest. Gemma has been coupled up with Luca Bish and it was revealed his heart rate was raised the most by his partner's.

Viewers following the show on Twitter suggested Gemma's dad would be mortified by the racy showing and the former Liverpool footballer has reacted on his Twitter account.
He posted a peeking eye emoji with his 3.7m followers - and the 42-year-old's followers responded in hysterics.
Owen has previously spoken out about how he felt about Gemma entering the villa. Speaking to the Mail Online about the show, he said: "It's not something any father wants to watch, is it? I said to [my wife] Louise, 'do they really have to sleep together, like in the same bed?' She said 'yes'. I said 'I did not bank on this'."
He carried on watching though, and added: "Luckily for me, there was no physical contact. Gemma had her back to the guy. There was space between them. I thought, 'Good girl'. No father wants to see physical contact, do they? I certainly don’t.
"If there is physical contact I think I’ll be throwing something at the screen. I don’t want to see kissing. Do not make me see kissing."
