Gemma isn't the only islander to have famous connections, however. Take a look back at past contestants who have links to the world of fame.
Gemma Owen
Gemma Owen is just one of the fresh faces on the new series of Love Island and if you didn't already know by now, her dad is former professional footballer Michael Owen.
Michael played as a striker for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Stoke City, as well as for the England national team, during his 17-year career before retiring in 2013.
While the 19-year-old has yet to reveal her famous connection to her fellow islanders, viewers of the series are convinced that she has already dropped a few hints with the hope that the other contestants will clock on.
