The new series of the popular ITV series returned to the screens on Monday night and the former Liverpool striker was out of the country at the time, but, on his return on Wednesday, he decided to tune in and see how his daughter, Gemma , was going up. Owen was greeted to see Gemma “paired” and sharing a bed with a bold Italian named Davide, who is eight years her senior.

But now, speaking to Mail Online about the controversial show, Owen said: “It’s not something any father wants to see, is it? I said yes [my wife] Louise, ‘Do they really have to sleep together, like in the same bed?’ She said yes. I said “I did not believe in that”. However, he continued to watch, adding: “Fortunately for me, there was no physical contact. Gemma had her back to the man. There was space between them. I thought, ‘Good girl.’ No father wants to see physical contact. Certainly not do. “If there is physical contact, I think I will throw something on the screen. I do not want to see kisses. Do not make me see the kiss!” Owen revealed that Gemma spoke to her parents before appearing on the show: “She wanted our blessing. She would never do anything if she thought we would be ashamed or disappointed with her or her grandparents would be disappointed. “You have two choices. You can either say, ‘there is no case.’ No my daughter … “, or you can be supportive. I think supporting is always the best choice. I guess it depends on love and trust. Finally I looked at it this way:” This is the test. “If we have done everything right to raise her, which I think we did, then we should not be afraid of that.” Gemma confesses her feelings in Thursday’s episode (Image: ITV / REX / Shutterstock) “It would not be my choice, but at some point you have to trust your parents. You have to let them go, spread their wings. She is a sensible girl. She will not do anything to make her ashamed.” There has been a lot of discussion on the internet about whether it is appropriate for Gemma to be on Love Island, as she is still a teenager. But Owen equated that with his situation in the Liverpool locker room when he took his place as a footballer. He said: “She was two years older than me to prepare for life in public. She is also mature 19. She looks a bit like me in this respect. I played for Liverpool when I was 17, and I have to make friends with young people 23 “, 24, 25 years old. The point is that she is an adult and I have to trust her to make sensible decisions.” Owen added: “I will be honest with you. Twenty years ago, if I knew I was going to have three daughters, I would say I would greet any boy who approached them with a baseball bat. But you have to be realistic, my daughters will kiss people, they will have friends, spouses, children one day. “Most girls do not kiss boys when their dads are watching, but this is the show. And you are blind if you do not realize that this is the case in real life.” Read more related articles Read more related articles
