Love Island's famous connections from Gemma Owen's footballer father to Liam Llewellyn's sportsman dad

LOVE Island's Gemma Owen is wearing a £20,000 necklace in the villa according to fans. Michael Owen's daughter, 19, is often seen in the eye-catching jewellery, which features a string of linked Xs.

LOVE Island is set to be tipped into chaos once again with one boy being sent packing from the villa. The unlucky fella is thought to have already been sent home from the villa in scenes to air on Sunday night.

OH, poor old Michael Owen. The former England player can’t go anywhere nowadays without being asked about Gemma, his daughter who has headed off to ITV2’s Love Island in search of fame.

THE Love Island boys picked their sexiest girl after Friday night's challenge - and it wasn't Gemma Owen or even bombshell Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. For the challenge the girls were tasked with performing steamy routines for the lads.

Love Island fans have been left raging after they noticed that contestants have been using a catchphrase that was said by previous islander Liam Llewellyn.During the latest episode, bombshell Danica caused shockwaves in the villa after she unexpectedly appeared during a saucy challenge called Sex Sea.But when Danica started having conversations with other islanders, fans experienced a touch of deja vu.While talking to the girls, Danica and the other female contestants said "Love Island baby" enthusiastically which is something Liam became known for before he left the show in week one.Taking to Twitter, fans shared their thoughts on the familiar phrase, with some clearly not happy that it had been repeated by the other islanders.One person wrote: "Why are they saying Liam’s phrase? 'love island baby' is for him shut up."Another said: "No. do not try copy angel Liam."A third shared: "Liam: 'Love Island baby' that's Liam's line when he left."But other viewers were glad that the popular phrase was still being said, with one person saying: "The girls keeping liam’s saying alive."Liam made the shock decision to leave the island after he failed to form a connection with anyone on the show.Gathering the islanders around the fire pit, the young lad expressed that he felt he wasn't giving the best version of himself.

Andrew Le Page may have won our hearts on season 8 of Love Island as he charmed his way into Tasha Ghouri’s good graces, but when not in the villa, where does the 27 year old realtor live? While it’s widely known that the property hotshot has been living in Dubai while carving a name for himself in the sun-soaked property scene, the Guernsey born hunk has also shared a brief glimpse into his UK homes with fans on social media. From stay-at-home workouts to nights on the town, Andrew has given fans an insight into his personality as he has shared a number of updates on social media about his day to day life.

Tasha Ghouri's dad has jumped in to defend the star after some Love Island fans accused her of copying something Molly-Mae Hague did in the villa.The model and dancer, 23, has regularly seen in the show cuddling up to her teddy bear, who she affectionately calls Flat Ted. The bear even made an appearance in Tasha and Andrew Le Page’s steamy night in the hideaway, after Luca Bish grabbed it and delivered the cuddly toy to just outside the door, shouting out to Andrew and Tasha to let them know. As things started heating up, the camera cheekily flashed to poor Flat Ted lying on the floor by the side of the bed.

Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti is set to end his romance with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu as the pair come to blows tonight over her terrace action, which she states “is not cheating”.The break-up happens as Davide, 27, confronts the Turkish beauty about her secret dalliances with bombshell Jay Younger, 28, after the pair disappeared to enjoy a make-out session together on the terrace. Davide and Ekin-Su, 27, have been coupled up together since arriving on Love Island.

LOVE Island is all about the contestants finding the love of their life - but let’s be honest, it’s also about the cast gaining Instagram followers.  And so far, it’s Turkish soap star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu who is leading the way among the Love Island stars with 451k followers on the app.  As of this week, though, it’s Jay with the least amount of fans clicking follow on his account - although that could all change after his secret hook-ups with Ekin.  The second most followed girl is Gemma Owen - who also boasts 43.9k followers on her official dressage account where she posts updates on her riding competitions.  She also launched her swimwear brand back in February - where she has just over eight thousand fans following her.  According to research, Gemma had just 42.4k followers before she entered the villa, rising to 78k on the morning of the show launch.  .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px
