Love Island's Gemma makes dig at dad Michael as they join forces for new TV project

Love Island's Gemma Owen and her dad Michael have teamed up for the first time on screen in a TV ad.

The father and daughter appar in a new promotional campaign for Amazon in a tongue-and-cheek video, which was filmed at their home in Cheshire.

In the advert an Amazon delivery driver pulls up to the stately pile, trying to deliver a package to the "big deal" of the house.

As former footballer Michael reaches out to accept the parcel, Gemma, looking gorgeous in a silk blouse and jeans, sweeps in to claim the goods for herself.

Sharing a clip of the advert on Instagram, the 19-year-old said: "Our acting skills aren't a big deal," followed by a laughing emoji.

Gemma's post went down a storm with fans with many telling the dressage rider how funny they found the advert.

Since coming second on Love Island with Luca Bish, Gemma and her beau have signed big-figure deals.

However, the influencer has revealed she still wants to compete on the international dressage stage and will soon be back on her horse.

The TV star took to Instagram last month to hold a short Q&A in which she was asked if she'd return to the sport she once loved.

Gemma replied: "The short answer is yes. I’m definitely going to be carrying on competing. At the moment things are obviously still up in the air so I can’t wait to get back into a normal routine but it’s something I’ve been training in forever so I’m not going to stop."

She continued: "With my riding I'd love to carry on riding internationally again."

Luca has also been introduced to Gemma's love of riding as he spends more time at the Owen family's mansion.

However, the couple have no immediate plans to move in together as they both confirmed their relationship won't progress any further just yet.

Speaking on the red carpet at the People's Pet Awards, Gemma said: "I think at the moment we're pretty happy with how things are going. Obviously, we're making it work.

"But I think in the future it's definitely on the cards. We'll just see how it goes."

And when asked about how she was finding life after Love Island, the celeb offspring gushed: "It's actually gone from strength to strength - really, really good. Couldn't have wanted it to go any better!"
