The exchange delighted viewers, who took to Twitter to voice their relief that after 20 episodes Gemma had finally made the revelation.
One fan wrote: "THEY ACTUALLY ADDRESSED MICHAEL OWEN AND GEMMA CONNECTION"
Another said: "Not them finally mentioning on TV that Gemma’s dad is famous they must not be allowed to mention his name."

Whilst this is the first time Gemma has actually referenced her father in the villa, it turns out many of her fellow islanders apparently knew about her famous parentage weeks ago.
Ikenna Ekwonna recently told Love Island: After Sun: "You know what's mad? We didn't really know until like the second or third day, but I don't think the girls knew that the guys knew."
Michael Owen himself has managed to keep pretty quiet about his daughter being in the villa,, although he couldn't help but post an emoji of a shocked face with hands covering its eyes when the show aired the famous heart rate challenge.Explore more on these topics:
