Michael Owen has admitted that he didn't watch certain Love Island episodes in order to avoid seeing his daughter Gemma taking part in saucy challenges and kissing people.The former footballer, 42, opened up about how he felt watching 19 year old Gemma on the hit ITV2 dating show over recent months, insisting he had "no worries" about her heading into the famous villa but he did have some initial reservations about the show. “It wasn't the best of conversations when she first asked me about going on Love Island," Michael, who also shares son James, 16, and daughters Emily, 14, and Jessica, 12 with wife Louise, admitted, according to The Sun.

Despite not being worried about his eldest child going on the dating show, there were certain episodes Michael purposefully didn't watch in order to avoid seeing Gemma taking part in challenges and kissing people on screen. “She's pretty sensible and she's a good kid and I had no worries.

I just didn't bring myself to watch some of the challenges and things like that. "I don't like seeing my daughter kiss people, but I probably watched 30 to 40% of the show," the 42 year old said, before going on to explain that he'd get his wife Louise to keep him updated about the episodes he didn't watch.
