GEMMA 'MY DAD TRUSTS ME NOT TO EMBARRASS HIM'
Gemma Owen, 19, is an international dressage rider and business owner from Chester
Hi Gemma! What does your dad, former footballer Michael Owen, think about you doing the show?
He's been very supportive and he trusts me to not do anything to embarrass him or the family. He's never watched the show before. Well, he's obviously seen a few clips. He's not a Love Island fan - but he'll be watching me, of course.
Have your parents given you any rules? Especially with regards to being intimate in the villa...
They've not given me any rules. I think they do trust me. I've never given them a reason not to, so my dad actually said to me, "I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do. It's up to you to make you own decisions." But I'm very close with my family, so I wouldn't do anything that would purposefully disrespect them or embarrass ther I'm aware of what they may feel uncomfortable with so I'm going to keep that in mind.
Has your dad given you any tips on dealing with the limelight?
He's not as famous as he was 20 years ago. But he's said a few things to help me out, which is nice. I also think you've got to learn lessons for yourself make your own mistakes and learn from them.
Are you going to tell the other Islanders who your dad is?
I'm not going to go in and be like, "Oh my God, my Dad was a footballer." I want to be known as my own person, not the daughter of an ex-footballer. But if they ask about my family I'll talk about it.
Does being a dressage rider make you competitive?
