Love Island 2022 contestant Liam Llewellyn has revealed his reaction to learning Gemma is Michael Owen’s daughter.
The 22-year-old appeared on Sunday night’s episode of Love Island Aftersun to discuss his shock departure from the show.
While talking to host Laura Whitmore about his exit, Liam also shared how he reacted when he found out Gemma is the daughter of footballing legend Michael Owen.
Shocked by the revelation, Liam revealed that he nearly guessed it when he and the 19-year-old talked about football on their first night in the villa.
He said: “I can’t believe who that actually was. That’s mad. I’m a United fan. I actually have one of his tops when he came to the club.”
“That first night, we were chatting about football and her family. I was so close. I can’t believe I didn’t quite work it out.”
The masters student made the shock announcement he would be leaving the show during Friday night’s episode.
Gathering all the Islanders around the firepit, Liam said: “Obviously we all came here for the same sort of reason, but I haven’t been giving 100 per cent Liam. I know what 100 per cent Liam is and I’m miles off that.”
“Trying to find someone you leave the villa with that you love, that’s the goal. But when you’re not feeling that, it makes it a very hard sort of time to find that.”
“I’ve been thinking long and hard, it isn’t spur of the moment, so I’ve made a decision I’m going to leave the villa.”
“You are all unreal. I’ve had an absolute ball.”
