Michael Owen has shut down speculation that he will appear in a forthcoming episode of Love Island.
Owen has been a much-talked about presence among Love Island viewers this season, despite not appearing on the series himself.
His name began trending on social media during one episode after Gemma and Luca were seen spending an intimate moment in the Love Island hideaway together.
Love Island typically features a “meet the parents” episode towards the end of each series, in which the islanders’ families arrive at the villa to meet the other halves.
