THE daughter of ex England footballer Michael Owen is set to star in Love Island All Stars early next year.
Swimwear designer Gemma, 21, was a runner up on the ITV reality show two years ago, but split with co-star Luca Bish, just three months later.
The new series starts in January in South Africa and is hosted by Maya Jama, 30.
A source said: “Gemma had a great time on Love Island in 2022… it wasn’t something she ever imagined signing up to but the entire experience caught her by surprise.
“She was incredibly young when she first starred on the show at 19 but now she hopes as a 21-year-old her first experience will help her at a second chance of love.
“Michael is bracing himself for another series supporting his daughter date in front of the nation – but he was so proud of Gemma during her first villa stint, he knows she’s sensible and can be trusted.
“As well as finding a long term partner, Gemma has seen how lucrative All Stars can be for the Islanders taking part and as a savvy businesswoman, she definitely sees it as a money making opportunity.”
Earlier this year, Gemma had sparked romance rumours with a tattooed hunk after they attended the Kentucky Derby together.
Gemma spent time with Irish style creator Damien Broderick, who had recently split from his influencer girlfriend Karina Lira.
However, Gemma’s representatives were keen to shut down any romantic speculation between the pair.
A spokesperson for Gemma said at the time: "Gemma and Damien are not dating or romantically linked."
In November last year, Gemma confirmed that she was single again after a split from Prince Naseem Hamed’s son Aadam.
She had previously confirmed their romance on Instagram with a picture of the pair holidaying in Dubai.
Gemma came second on Love Island 2022 with her previous ex-boyfriend Luca Bish.
She took to her Instagram account at the end of 2022 to publicly announce the news of her separation from Luca.
