Manchester rapper Bugzy Malone has hushed talk that he's dating Love Island beauty Gemma Owen in a message to her famous dad Michael Owen. The 32-year-old grime artist, who grew up in Crumpsall, took to Instagram Stories to have his say following reports linking him with Gemma, 19.
Dressage rider Gemma is the eldest daughter of former Liverpool and Manchester United player Michael, 43. She was a finalist on last summer's series of the ITV dating show Love Island after finding romance with fishmonger Luca Bish, 23.
The pair were together for three months before splitting up in November. Gemma broke the news on Instagram. She wrote: “To all my followers, I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship."

The reality star has also rubbished the reports, telling The Mail: "I am definitely single." At Christmas she shared a smiling picture with her parents Michael and Louise as she wrote: "Feeling grateful for those closest to me. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas."
Gemma and Luca couple came second to Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti on the hit show, which returned on Monday night (January 16) for a winter edition set in South Africa. After their split Luca shared his own statement and appeared to have been unprepared for the news to break.
Taking to his Instagram stories, he wrote: “Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup. I would have liked to have had some time to process this privately but as you all already now know, Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.
"We have been on such a journey together and have made some amazing memories which I will treasure." He added: "I can’t thank everyone enough for their support for us as a couple during and after Love Island. We will remain good friends and I wish nothing but the best for her."
