Love Island's Gemma Owen 'ready to move out' of Michael Owen's £4million home

Love Island's youngest contestant Gemma Owen is reportedly "ready to move out" of her family home after the show.

The 19-year-old is the daughter of football legend Michael Owen and she currently still lives with him mum Louise and three younger siblings, James, 16, Emily, 14, and Jessica, 12 in their cushy £4 million family pad. The home is a Grade II listed property in North Wales known as Lower Soughton Hall.

It has its own private gym, a heated indoor swimming pool and hot tub, as well as a games room and bar area. The house is also packed with memorabilia from Michael's footballing days, including signed footballs, trophies, original football shirts and the treasured Ballon d'Or.

But now a source close to Gemma has claimed that she is ready to leave the extravagant home behind and find a place of her own. She is even said to have been house hunting before appearing on the ITV2 dating show.

The source told MailOnline : “Gemma will continue house hunting when she leaves the show. But there’s no chance of her moving a guy in. She wants to spend a bit of time on her own first before she makes that step.”

They added: "Gemma is fiercely independent and also has plans to travel and promote her clothing line when Love Island finishes." Producers are said to be keen to sign Gemma up for an ‘At Home With The Owen’s’ style programme, according to reports.
