Love Island's Gemma Owen to star in new reality TV show about footballers' daughters

Gemma Owen is set to star in another reality TV show just weeks after appearing in the Love Island villa.

The up-and-coming star, who is the daughter of Michael Owen - has reportedly been headhunted to appear in a new show developed by TOWIE and Celebs Go Dating production company Lime Pictures.

It has been reported that the show will follow footballers' daughters - and could also star Paul Gascoigne’s daughter Bianca.

A source told The Sun : "This new series is being billed as a one-of-a-kind show which will reveal what it is really like to be the daughter of a famous football star.

“Lime are developing the concept now and ITV have shown a real interest in it. Gemma is top of their casting wish list.

"Her dad Michael is one of England’s most famous footballing stars and given her huge popularity since she appeared on Love Island – she is the person they want signed up."

The insider added that the series would follow the women's daily lives and look at the highs and lows of being related to a footballer.

It will also show how the women try to make a name for themselves and the barriers they face in attempting to do so.

It comes after Gemma hinted that she had landed a new show last week as she shared a picture at the reception of Paramount studios.

In August, she signed a very lucrative six-figure deal with fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing after being handpicked by the founder Umar Kamani, 34, and his team.

Gemma, who came second in the final with Luca Bish, said at the time: "This really is a dream come true for me."

"I wore PrettyLittleThing throughout my time on the show and now being announced as one of their newest ambassadors alongside some incredible talent including Love Island alumni is really special."

She continued: "The team has been amazing and I'm excited to get to work and start designing some collections for you all."

Two weeks prior, it was reported that Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is set to make over £1million after signing a deal with a fashion label.
