SHE is yet to tell anyone her dad is Michael Owen, but that could be about to change when newbie Jay Younger enters the villa.
The Scottish hunk, 28, has something in common with Gemma – his grandad is a footballer who played for Liverpool, just like her dad Michael.
Speaking before he entered the villa, the investment analyst revealed: “My grandad played for Liverpool and he was captain of Scotland back in the 1950s.
“He was in the hall of fame for Liverpool and he was in the hall of fame for Hibernian F.C.”
Tommy Younger, who was goalkeeper, signed for Liverpool in 1956 and made a total of 127 appearances, up until 1959.
Michael played for the club from 1996 to 2004 and would be well aware of who Tommy is.

At one point she even told Luca that he would get on with her father.
Liam – who decided to quit the villa – admitted he had no idea though and got a real shock when he left and found out the truth.
