Love Island Season 8 is finally here, and there is one person who seems to be taking centre stage thus far. Gemma Owen is the youngest member of this year’s cast , and she has been turning a lot of heads, to use their language, on the reality show so far.
Gemma Owen is an international dressage rider and business owner. Explaining why she decided to join Love Island, Gemma said: "I am open to finding love, I’m wanting to have a really fun summer. I was seeing someone and then that didn’t work out so I thought, 'Why not?'"
Gemma Owen is aged just 19. She is the youngest member of this year’s cast and many are joking that this is how she’s spending her gap-year.
Gemma Owen's father is ex-Liverpool and England footballer Michael Owen. Gemma has repeatedly mentioned how her family is her priority so far this series and ahead of joining the show she revealed that 'Sport has always been a big thing' for her and her family. Michael Owen is reportedly not thrilled about Gemma going on Love Island. However, if Gemma finds love and favour with the public, we might just get to see Michael on the show himself later on in the season when the parents enter the villa.
Gemma's current net worth is unknown, however if she wins the show she will receive a £50,000 prize.
Gemma's father, Michael, has a net worth of $68 million (£54.4 million), and resides in a massive £4 million Welsh mansion.
