Gemma Owen shares loved-up snaps with horse rider boyfriend Red Morgan from family Dubai getaway after she confirmed new romance

Gemma Owen has shared loved-up snaps with her new boyfriend Red Morgan after he joined her on a family getaway.

The Love Island star, 21, who dated Luca Bish on and off the ITV show, made her new romance Instagram official earlier this month.

It was reported at the time that Gemma, the daughter of footballer Michael Owen, was dating Red, the son of multi-millionaire businessman Steve Morgan.

And taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Gemma looked absolutely smitten with the fellow horse rider – who she met through their shared love of all things equestrian.

She looked sensational in a black low cut jacket and matching maxi skirt as her and showjumper Red attended the Dubai World Cup together, with her beau looking smart in a pink shirt, white trousers and a navy suit jacket.

Another loved-up snap saw Gemma wrap her arms around Red’s neck as they lounged in the pool together, while they were also seen giggling as her nuzzled into her in a sweet mirror selfie.

She also shared an adorable picture of the pair taken by a family member on a day out on a yacht.

Gemma unveiled the romance earlier this month as shared a photo of the pair joined by her football legend father Michael and her mother Louise Bonsall.

A source told The Sun that Gemma and Red have known each for a while after meeting through their shared passion of equestrian.

Per the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List, Red’s father Steve – who is the founder and chairman of housebuilder Redrow – has a net worth estimated at £915million.

MailOnline contacted representatives for Gemma for comment at the time.

Her new romance comes after it was revealed in February that Gemma has been setting up her own home since moving out of her family’s £4million mansion.

In a string of Instagram posts, Gemma has revealed her bedroom and kitchen have been transformed, with a muted new decor.

One video showed the before and after of her newly-renovated kitchen which is packed with grey appliances, and gold accents and fixtures.

Her living room and bedroom continued with the all-grey theme, including metallic blinds, cabinets and matching satin pillows.

However, Gemma has faced backlash from some users online, after revealing that the renovation was part of a collaboration with a well-known design company, meaning it’s likely she didn’t pay a penny for the work.

In exchange, Gemma promoted the company on her Instagram page, writing: ‘Cottage kitchen reno…

‘I’m so in love with my kitchen transformation by the incredible team at @prestigedesignyorkshire who have shared my excitement for the project throughout. I’m so happy with the glow up, it’s everything that I wanted & more. @prestigedesignyorkshire.’

Gemma, who rose to fame on Love Island also shared videos of her new bedroom, while gushing over the luxurious new blinds and curtains she received from Dutch Limes Oak flooring.

The clip revealed the star’s enormous bed, alongside a sleek, white built-in wardrobe.

Prior to moving into her cottage, Gemma had been living with her parents at their £4 million mansion in the Welsh countryside.

Ahead of her first stint on the show she admitted that her England legend father ‘wasn’t happy’ about her signing up but he trusted her not to ’embarrass’ him.

She said: ‘I still wouldn’t say that my dad is buzzing about me doing Love Island.

‘He’s very supportive in whatever I decide to do. He didn’t have a massive tantrum or anything like that. He was pretty chilled, he trusts me not to do anything to embarrass him. He took it quite well.

‘He didn’t say I couldn’t do this or give me any dos or don’ts. He said I’m not going to tell you what to do, I trust you, you have never given us a reason not to trust you, go for it but I will always have my family’s thoughts and opinions in the forefront of my mind because we are all super close and they are the most important people to me.’

Inside Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma’s luxurious cottage as she reveals stunning renovations – but fans complain she got them for free

She’s the daughter of one of football’s biggest stars.

But since rising to fame as a star of the Love Island villa, Gemma Owen has been carving out a name for herself as a fashion star and influencer.

The brunette beauty, 21, has been setting up her own home after moving out of the £4 million mansion she shared with her family.

In a string of Instagram posts, Gemma has revealed her bedroom and kitchen have been transformed, with a muted new decor.

One video showed the before and after of her newly-renovated kitchen which is packed with grey appliances, and gold accents and fixtures.

Her living room and bedroom continued with the all-grey theme, including metallic blinds, cabinets and matching satin pillows.

After rising to fame in the Love Island villa, Gemma Owen has splashed out on a lavish cottage, sharing a glimpse at her room renovations on Instagram

Gemma was a contestant on Love Island in 2022 when she was just 19 years old, and since then has carved out a career as an influencer

However, Gemma has faced backlash from some users online, after revealing that the renovation was part of a collaboration with a well-known design company, meaning it’s likely she didn’t pay a penny for the work.

In exchange, Gemma promoted the company on her Instagram page, writing: ‘Cottage kitchen reno…

The clip revealed the star’s enormous bed, alongside a sleek, white built-in wardrobe.

Some fans have since taken to the comments to question Gemma being given such lavish home transformations, asking whether she was given them for free.

Posts included: ‘It’s beautiful..I can’t get my head around those being more than able to afford it being given it for free, can still so the #ad but give it to someone who is trying their best to get their home sorted;’

‘It’s the same with all famous not just her there’s no point saying it as they won’t pay miss nobody to mr nobody to advertise for them’

One video showed the before (left) and after (right) of her newly-renovated kitchen which is packed with grey appliances, and gold accents and fixtures

The star documented her kitchen’s transformation in a lengthy Instagram post, but raised eyebrows by tagging the company behind the renovation

The post meant that Gemma likely didn’t pay a penny for the word done to her home

‘So yeah it is annoying but it happens why does that one person deserve it over thousands of others trying just as hard either if you put it like that everyone is trying their best what makes say you deserve more than the lady next door??’

A third penned: ‘It’s life unfortunately money goes to money.’

Prior to moving into her cottage, Gemma had been living with her parents at their £4 million mansion in the Welsh countryside.

The Grade II listed manor usually has plenty of privacy as it is nestled within 42 acres of countryside in the Welsh village of Northop, near Mold.

And with plenty of greenery surrounding the home, there’s room for a putting green as well as a large children’s play area, which Keith couldn’t resist having a go on as he showed viewers the garden.

Inside the delights continue, with the lavish open plan kitchen and dining area boasting a luxe grey colour scheme and being kitted out with crushed velvet bar stools and a quilted breakfast bar.

Meanwhile, the lounge had a slightly more homely feel, with wood panelling on the walls and large brown leather sofas artfully arranged in the large living space.

A games room had enough room to host a full-size snooker table, whilst it also contained a trophy cabinet and picture frame on the wall including his England jerseys from the 89 caps the striker won.

His 2001 Ballon d’Or also takes pride of place in a gilded trophy cabinet, whilst signed footballs from Owen’s 17-year career are artfully arranged around the perimeter of the room.

Elsewhere inside the home, Michael has a home gym and spa, complete with a tanning bed. Whilst he has a stunning Jacuzzi next to his indoor swimming pool.

Gemma is the eldest of four children former England and Liverpool star Michael shares with wife Louise.

Gemma’s 2022 appearance on the show was not without controversy and saw fans calling for a higher minimum age to be enforced after expressing their shock over Gemma only being 19 years old.

Love Island: All Star Luca Bish’s ‘heart wrenching’ breakdown was ‘upsetting’ for his family who defend his ‘You’ve not put enough girls in here for me’ remark saying he ‘can’t fake it’

Love Island: All Stars contestant Luca Bish’s ‘heart wrenching’ breakdown was ‘upsetting’ for his family, who have defended his recent controversial remarks.

The returning Islander, 25, who first appeared on the ITV2 series in 2022, told host Maya Jama ‘You’ve not put enough girls in here for me’ after she asked why the fish monger was yet to make a romantic connection.

His comment provoked gasps in the villa from the female cast who were clearly offended as Maya replied: ‘You have so many beautiful girls around you, is it not enough?’

Luca, who was in a relationship with Gemma Owen for three months after they met on the show, sobbed during scenes that aired earlier this week, saying, ‘I just don’t know what I’m doing here.’

Speaking in the Beach Hut, he admitted: ‘In here, your emotions get the better of you’ after new arrival Tina Stinnes coupled up with Scott Thomas instead of him.

Now, Luca’s sister Claudia has claimed that he ‘can’t fake’ how he feels and will only progress with one of his co-stars when he develops genuine feelings.

The returning Islander told host Maya Jama ‘You’ve not put enough girls in here for me’ after she asked why the fish monger was yet to make a romantic connection

Luca was comforted by his co-stars including Ekin-Su after he broke down in tears during Monday night’s show

Claudia said: ‘While Luca is looking for that instant connection, I don’t think it’s a case of being picky, but he can’t fake it and will want to have genuine feelings initially to be able to progress something.

‘We’re proud of him for being real and not faking it for the sake of it.’

Luca has so far rejected advances from Olivia Hawkins and Kaz Crossley but paired up with bombshell Grace Jackson who picked him during Tuesday night’s re-coupling.

Prior to Grace’s shock arrival he was comforted by Ekin-Su and Scott who reassured him during Monday night’s episode that he would find someone in time.

His vulnerability, which was praised by viewers, proved to be a tough watch for his family, who say they are relieved that audiences are finally seeing his emotional side.

Claudia continued: ‘As a family it was heart wrenching for us to watch Luca cry on the show, we just wanted to give him a hug.

‘It was lovely though to see the way his fellow Islanders looked after him, as well as the lovely comments and messages we have received online.

‘While it was a hard watch, we are so incredibly proud of him for showing his vulnerability, there’s so much pressure on men to act okay all the time and Luca does wear his heart on his sleeve, I’m glad everyone is finally getting to see this side to him.’

Luca was in a relationship with Gemma Owen for three months after they met on Love Island in 2022

During a game on Tuesday night’s show, Luca was given a ‘friend zone’ sash by former love interest Olivia after he failed to show her any interest

Fans have doubted whether Luca even wants to be on the All Stars series, saying he looks ‘depressed’, with X users claiming: ‘I’ve never seen someone hate being on Love Island so much.’

The change in Luca’s demeanour could be a result of the backlash he faced following his first appearance on Love Island two years ago.

Luca was accused of displaying ‘gaslighting’ and ‘toxic behaviour’ during a fallout with Gemma in 2022 and was slammed by charity Women’s Aid who reprimanded the negative traits.

He was also blamed for bullying Tasha Ghouri after the Strictly star was left upset during one of the show’s games where viewers felt she was unfairly targeted by Luca and the boys.

And now Luca’s sister fears he could be overanalysing his actions as she insists he has learned from his past mistakes.

She said: ‘Luca does overthink and can get in his own head a bit sometimes, which is why in some ways although so upsetting for us to watch, it was good for him to get it all out.

‘He’s grown up so much in the two years since his series in terms of self-awareness, but his silly jokey side is still there, and he’s been cracking us up with his one-liners.

‘I really hoping last night was just a buildup of emotion and that he’s back to his warm funny self soon.’

Love Island: All Stars’ Luca Bish reveals his mother forced him to watch back his series amid misogyny and controlling behaviour accusations as he says new stint is a ‘second chance’

Love Island: All Stars’ Luca Bish has revealed that his mother forced him to watch back his controversial 2022 series following his treatment of his former girlfriend Gemma Owen.

The fishmonger, 25, was accused of misogyny and ‘controlling behaviour’ towards Michael Owen’s daughter, then 19, with viewers even complaining to Ofcom.

After they returned to the UK he apologised for some of his actions and revealed he ‘didn’t recognise himself’ when looking back at himself on TV.

And speaking ahead of his return to the ITV2 dating show next week, Luca admitted that it was his own mother who made him evaluate his actions, with the reality star confessing that he’d he acted like a ‘k**b’ at the time.

With Luca set to attempt to find love on the show once more, he’s treating his upcoming stint as a ‘second chance’ to redeem himself, noting that he had ‘learnt lessons’ from his past experience.

Speaking to MailOnline and other press, Luca explained: ‘I watched it back. I think my mum forced me to. Obviously there’s some great moments and things I’d really laughed about, and obviously not so good. Sometime you come out the villa and think ‘why are people writing this?’

Speaking ahead of his return to the ITV2 dating show next week, Luca admitted that it was his own mother who made him evaluate his actions, with the reality star confessing that he’d he acted like a ‘k**b’ at the time

‘He added that he ‘couldn’t disagree’ with the negative things written about him, as he shared: ‘I learnt lessons. It’s the lessons we learn from that make us who we are today.’

In the show Luca was left seething after watching Gemma have a chat with Billy Brown during Casa Amor, prompting him to question the strength of their relationship.

Fans at the time called for Gemma to break off her relationship after Luca raged at her for ‘flirting’ with bombshell Billy.

Elsewhere, he had also upset fellow islander Tasha Ghouri during the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge after he [and fellow constant Dami Hope] pushed cream pies into her face during the supposedly light hearted game.

Reflecting on his time on the show, Luca remarked: ‘I definitely look back and I think “what a k**b” but that’s why I’m coming on again and lucky I’ve asked to do it another time and get the second chance to kind of show you guys the more real me.’

‘The lessons I learnt is, you’re in a game show. Last time I was so raw and I thought everyone was my best friend and we were going to come out like a family and it’s just not what happens, you know.

‘And also a lot of other lessons on how maybe I could approach situations, how I maybe voice my opinion to someone, when it’s the right time and not the right the right time. And not to get caught up with my emotions before saying something.’

He went on: ‘I think as well that comes with just maturing. When I left home to go on the show, I was 22. I had my birthday just as I was over there turning 23.

‘I came from a fish market and was just put straight in this world that I had no clue about. And especially when Jacques [O’Neill] left, I definitely started to come a bit more cranky and not enjoy my experience as much.

‘It’s probably taken me the last two years to realise how lucky I was to be in that villa and with the people that was in that villa and maybe not resent my situation and take accountability that I need to learn some lessons.’

Meanwhile during the chat, Luca told how he’d leave the villa if his ex Gemma came in as a bombshell.

The former fish monger is hoping for another crack at love on the ITV2 dating show, over two years after first finding love with the beauty, 21.

But following their split just months after coming runners up in the show, Luca has hinted that there’s no love lost as he joked he’d do a runner if they came face-to-face on the programme.

Luca quipped: ‘I’d walk out! when asked how he’d feel if the influencer strolled through the doors.

Emphasising his point, he then joked: ‘I’d probably say “I’m a Love Islander, get me out of here!”‘

However, he seemingly wouldn’t have an issue if she wanted to return to the show for her own chance of love, adding: ‘I’d back her all the way and just hope she has a better experience than last time.’

But while his fellow islanders including Marcel and Gabby have hinted at a possible reconciliation with their ex, Luca insisted that there’s no going back for himself and Gemma.

He remarked: ‘No, you can read a book twice but the ending never changes. That’s how I look at stuff like that. Sorry Gemma!’

It comes amid claims Gemma is dreading Luca will talk about the breakup on the show – which will once again be hosted by presenter Maya Jama.

‘Their break-up was shrouded in secrecy and neither has discussed it, but it did not end well.

‘He hinted he was blindsided by the break-up when she posted it online and this is his time to spill the beans.’

He was accused of misogyny and ‘controlling behaviour’ towards the then 19-year-old with viewers even complaining to Ofcom.

Speaking to Grazia magazine after the show he said: ‘She’s a strong woman so she would never let herself be in a situation like that.’

Agreeing that his behaviour was controlling, he went on to say: ‘There are parts where I’m thinking this is not how I behave on the outside world. Why did I do that?’.

Luca, who finished in second place with Gemma, went on to tell the publication: ‘When you feel so strongly for someone and then you’re still getting put in situations because they [producers] are making us do challenges, throwing new people in there to play with your emotions and your feelings – I’d genuinely just had enough of it.’

He went on to say that his emotions were heightened during his time on the show as he began to fall in love with brunette beauty Gemma.

I don’t put any effort into dating and I don’t really like meeting people from apps so I’m looking forward to getting to know people in the Villa.

SERIES 5 LOVE ISLAND

Why do you want to return to Love Island?

I want to have fun and I want to give it a proper go this time. My time was cut short the first time round and who knows, I could be the next Sophie (Piper) and Josh (Ritchie) or Molly (Smith) and Tom (Clare).

Love Island: All Stars’ Luca Bish says he would LEAVE the villa if ex Gemma Owen walked in – as his former girlfriend fears he’ll spill the beans on their breakup
January 11, 2025
Controversial Love Islander ‘signs up for All Stars series airing next month – but his ex is left fearing he will spill the beans on their breakup’

Luca Bish is reportedly set to take part in the upcoming series of Love Island All Stars.

The former fishmonger, 25, will be jetting out to South Africa in the New Year with the hopes of finding love, claims The Sun – after his original show appearance in 2022.

On the show two years ago he met influencer Gemma Owen, 21, – the daughter of former footballer Michael – but the pair separated a few months after coming in as runners up.

Now the publication claims Gemma is dreading he will talk about the breakup on the show – which will once again be hosted by presenter Maya Jama.

A source said: ‘This is the last thing Gemma wants because in the last year she’s tried to keep her personal life private.

‘Their break-up was shrouded in secrecy and neither has discussed it, but it did not end well.

‘He hinted he was blindsided by the break-up when she posted it online and this is his time to spill the beans.’

ITV has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

Luca was accused by some viewers of controlling behaviour towards Gemma during their time on the show.

After they returned to the UK he apologised for some of his actions and revealed he ‘didn’t recognise himself’ when looking back at himself on TV.

He was accused of misogyny and ‘controlling behaviour’ towards the then 19-year-old with viewers even complaining to Ofcom.

Speaking to Grazia magazine after the show he said: ‘She’s a strong woman so she would never let herself be in a situation like that.’

Agreeing that his behaviour was controlling, he went on to say: ‘There are parts where I’m thinking this is not how I behave on the outside world. Why did I do that?’.

Luca, who finished in second place with Gemma, went on to tell the publication: ‘When you feel so strongly for someone and then you’re still getting put in situations because they [producers] are making us do challenges, throwing new people in there to play with your emotions and your feelings – I’d genuinely just had enough of it.’

He went on to say that his emotions were heightened during his time on the show as he began to fall in love with brunette beauty Gemma.

ITV announced last week that the start date for the reality dating series is just weeks away and will begin on January 13 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

The news was revealed on the show’s Instagram page alongside a photograph of an invitation which was addressed to ‘dating royalty’.

The white invitation with gold and black writing, read: ‘Dear Islander, as dating royalty, you are cordially invited back to the villa as a Love Island All Star.’

It comes after host Maya and ITV were forced to deny claims that the presenter was planning to leave the show.

ITV has denied reports Maya will step down, with a spokesperson telling MailOnline: ‘We are very much committed to Maya, who is a brilliant Love Island host, and we have no plans for a presenter change.’

It came after it was revealed Maya has become a multi-millionaire following the success of her TV career and business ventures.

The TV presenter has published accounts for her business MIJ & Co Entertainment which show assets in the company have increased to £1.83million from £1.37million.

The star appears to have doubled her earnings as she has cash worth £1.3million in the account over the last three months but had £618,774 the previous year.

Maya split with long term love, rapper Stormzy in July but the bump in her personal life hasn’t stopped her career from reaching new heights.

Three months after the pair left the villa they announced that they had sadly split in an Instagram post

She landed the full time role as Love Island’s number one presenter when Laura stood down.

Since then she has hosted Love Island Games, Love Island All Stars and series 11 which went out in June and July.

Last week, MailOnline revealed Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu had become the first contestant to sign up to Love Island: All Stars.

The former Love Island winner, 30, who scooped the £50,000 cash prize with ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti in 2022, will make a triumphant return to the series in January as she hopes to finally find a long-term partner.

Princess Andre, 17, Channels Her Mom Katie Price on Night Out in Manchester

Princess Andre looked the spitting image of her mum Katie Price as she enjoyed a night out in Manchester over the weekend.

The model, 17, was flooded with comments from fans who praised her ‘natural beauty’ saying she looked like her mum in her ‘younger days’ and begged her to ‘never change.’

Posing for the Instagram update at Menagerie Restaurant & Bar, Princess wore a fitted grey long sleeve crop top and matching midi skirt.

She styled her long blonde hair straight and opted for a subtle makeup look, with a nude lipgloss.

Heaping praise on Princess, fans commented: ‘Your Mumma’s double in her younger days’; ‘Your granny and mammys double’; ‘Beautiful like your momma.’

Meanwhile, others added: ‘Please stay naturally beautiful as you are!’; ‘What a beautiful young lady, don’t ever change’; ‘Stay classy you are beautiful just the way you are.’

Princess has followed in her mother’s footsteps and made her modelling debut in January, after signing a four-figure deal with PrettyLittleThing and becoming one of their brand ambassadors.

News of Princess’ new modelling job was revealed last year and she was said to be ‘over the moon’ to be joining the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Gemma Owen on the retailer’s roster.

At the time, a source revealed: ‘Princess is so excited, she’s looked up to her mum for years and has aspired to model for a brand like PrettyLittleThing since she can remember.

‘She knows she’s still young at 16 but Pete is going to oversee her work with PLT to ensure she’s protected and well looked after.

‘The partnership was born organically after Princess posted on Instagram about wearing the brand, it’s naturally a great fit for both parties.’

However, unlike her mum, who has just undergone her sixth face lift, Princess has vowed to stay away from surgery.

In an interview with MailOnline in February, she said: ‘It’s normal to feel pressure, but I think you should always embrace yourself; you’ve been given what you’ve got, you should accept that.’

Princess added: ‘If people don’t feel happy with themselves and want to change it up, I support them through it, because it’s not my body, but it’s not something I’d want to do.

‘There are going to be days when you look in the mirror and think “this is not my day”, but you just have to accept it.’

In November when answering a Q&A on her Instagram stories, she was asked ‘Would you rather stay natural or have work done?’

Princess responded ‘Stay natural,’ alongside a pink heart emoji while posing for a mirror selfie.

Gemma also treated fans to another picture, showing the back of her long dress as she walked thought the picturesque town.

The star captioned her Instagram post: ‘Nights in Marbella’ and was clearly having an excellent time.

The reality star was also seen showcasing her beach look.

She posted a mirror selfie to her Instagram Stories, showing off her black bikini and long black crocheted robe.

The star finished off her look with a pair of Gucci sunglasses as she posed in her villa.

The trip comes after Gemma and her mother were spotted hitting the beach in Ibiza last month.

Gemma is thought to be currently single, after she split from British boxer Prince Naseem Hamed’s son Aadam

Childhood sweethearts Michael and Louise first met when they attended primary school together in Flintshire in Wales.

Nine years later the couple tied the knot, after becoming engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2004, with the wedding taking place at their family home.

Meanwhile, Gemma’s hard work is clearly paying off, after it was reported she is earning a whopping £5,000 a day, according to The Sun.

After finishing as a runner-up on Love Island series eight in 2022, Gemma launched her own company, OG Promotions Ltd, to manage her influencer deals.

As of March 2023, accounts filed to Companies House showed that the business had over £200,000 in assets.

Gemma is also an accomplished dressage rider, inheriting her love of equestrianism from her footballer father and mother Louise.

After entering her first competition at the age of 10, Gemma has competed internationally for Team GB, most recently at the junior European Championships in 2021 when the team finished sixth.

But her progress was brought to a tragic pause in early 2023 when her junior team horse Sirius Black III died at the age of 18 following a ‘sudden and severe illness’.

Her talent has led to her becoming an ambassador for the equestrian clothing line, Holland Cooper Equestrian and gaining a brand collaboration with Charles Owen Helmets.

Gemma is thought to be currently single, after she split from British boxer Prince Naseem Hamed’s son Aadam.

The couple’s was confirmed in October when both the reality star and the boxer, 23, posted separate photos at the same location in Dubai.

However, on the Beauty Awards’ red carpet at the end of November, Gemma revealed she was ‘absolutely single’.

She told The Sun: ‘I am absolutely single; I’m not dating anyone. I’m not in a relationship. Just living my best life, on my own.’

The relationship was Gemma’s first since she and Luca Bish split in November 2022, three months after coming second place on Love Island.

Jack Keating opens up about becoming a father after fans speculated he knew about the pregnancy before Love Island appearance.

Jack Keating has finally revealed whether he knew about his ex-girlfriend being pregnant before starring on Love Island.

The Islander, 25, told MailOnline he had no idea former partner Keely Iqbal was expecting weeks before he became a contestant on the ITV2 dating show and flirted with the likes of Gemma Owen.

In March 2023, Jack announced on Instagram he had welcomed daughter Maya, sparking speculation from viewers who quickly worked out timings that he took part in the summer series despite knowing he was to be a dad.

But Jack, whose father is Boyzone star Ronan, 47, insists it was a complete shock and revealing to the nation he had become a parent in secret was ‘terrifying.’

He says the support and knowledge passed onto him from Ronan has allowed him to grow and become the man he is today, referring to the singer as his ‘hero.’

The Islander told MailOnline he had no idea former partner Keely Iqbal was expecting weeks before he became a contestant on the ITV2 show and flirted with the likes of Gemma Owen

He says the support and knowledge passed onto him from Ronan has allowed him to grow and become the man he is today, referring to the singer as his ‘hero’

Jack said: ‘As soon as I came off Love Island, seven months later, I became a dad. No, I didn’t know before going on the show.

‘Adjusting to life after Love Island was hard enough but then I had to deal with being a father… But it has been the most amazing year and a half of my entire life. Maya turned one in February… She melts my heart every time I see her.

‘I remember when I posted the Instagram photo, I was so nervous. I didn’t actually want to press the button. It blew up.

‘It was an amazing and happy time… but I kept asking myself, am I ready? Am I ready for what comes with this? I was terrified.

‘There was a bombardment of messages and congratulations. I needed a personal assistant to get through all the messages for a week or two.’

Jack credits his paternal instincts to dad Ronan and mum Yvonne Connolly, 50, who he says are the two people he loves most in life.

Ronan and Yvonne, who split in 2010, share Jack as well as daughters Missy, 23, and Ali, 18.

The One Show host married wife Storm Uechtritz, 42, in 2015 and they have since welcomed son Cooper, seven, and daughter Coco, four, making Ronan a dad-of-five.

Jack pictured on his birthday in March alongside dad Ronan, step-mum Storm, girlfriend Sophie, and siblings Cooper, and Coco

The aspiring DJ celebrated his daughter Maya’s first birthday earlier this year, describing becoming a father for the first time as one of the most ‘terrifying’ but ‘amazing’ times of his life

Jack appeared on Love Island in 2022 where he entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell, his aim to lure the females away from their couples

Jack said: ‘I leant on my family and friends… I have a really big support system around me.

‘My mum and my dad are the two heroes of my life and they’re the people I love the most.

‘My two sisters and Cooper and Coco as well they raised so well. I really look to him for guidance and inspiration.

‘All the knowledge and advice he has passed down to me has been great, I wouldn’t be here today without him. I’m a family first man, I come as a package deal, and I plan to stay that way.’

Jack’s close bond with his father means he often feels protective.

Earlier this year, Ronan’s ex manager Louis Walsh badmouthed the singer during his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, reigniting their long-running feud.

Louis called Ronan a ‘prick’ in conversation with Sharon Osbourne and claimed he hasn’t had a ‘hit record’ since they stopped working together.

And Jack admits he wasn’t surprised by the remarks made by Louis, saying the former X Factor judge did himself no favours on the TV show.

He said: ‘I have heard those stories since I was a kid. I know exactly who Louis is and what type of person he is, the things he has done over the last couple of years. Nothing was really a shock to me, how he acts.

‘They don’t have the best relationship, but I don’t want to comment, I will leave that up to my dad. Obviously, he didn’t do himself any favours when he was in the Big Brother house, Louis.’

Speaking to MailOnline, Jack said he is a ‘family man’ and explained the advice from his famous father Ronan has helped shaped the person he is today

During his time on Love Island, he flirted with Gemma Owen, who at the time was coupled up with ex-boyfriend Luca Bish

The pair bonded over their respective famous families but nothing happened between them romantically

Jack moved back to his native Dublin in January alongside new girlfriend Sophie Foard.

He had been living in the UK before joining the 2022 cast of Love Island as a Casa Amor bombshell, his aim being to lure one of the girls away from their couples.

And the aspiring DJ, whose sister Missy put him forward after she turned down a place on the show, admits he felt ‘vulnerable’ walking into the TV villa.

He said: ‘I was absolutely bricking it.

‘When I first flew out to Mallorca, I was confident, I was ready but when you get the countdown from the producers, you’re like ‘oh s***.’

‘It’s a very vulnerable place, you’re going on a show in your swimming shorts, no T-shirt, there’s no place to hide and you’re being open with your emotions.

‘You’re going on TV for millions of people to see your every move… it was fun though.’

Since going on the show, Jack has learned how to DJ and now hopes to further establish his career behind the decks.

Sadly, he hasn’t inherited his dad’s singing voice so plans to follow in his musical footsteps in different ways.

He said: ‘I can’t sing, unfortunately. I got my mum’s singing voice. The one useful thing I could have got from my dad… Everyone says I look like my him, whenever I post a photo, everyone says I am the image of my dad, but I just wish I got his voice too.

‘Career wise, I am doing a lot of DJing, I have been teaching myself how to do that and trying to get my name out there, which is one of my main focusses right now.

‘I have always loved techno, house music, I ended up going to Ibiza last year for a couple of weeks and that’s where my passion grew… it was the first time I had ever been.

‘I thought, this looks like something I would love to do, obviously music has always been huge in my life. I am jumping in at the deep end and seeing how it goes.’

The former Love Island star, 20, showed off her incredible figure as she posed up a storm in an array of swimwear

She filmed herself modelling several pieces in a strapless swimsuit, before taking a dip in the sea.

Gemma’s hard work is clearly paying off, after it was reported that she is earning a whopping £5,000 a day, according to The Sun.

After finishing as a runner-up on Love Island series eight in 2022, Gemma launched her own company, OG Promotions Ltd, to manage her influencer deals.

As of March 2023, accounts filed to Companies House showed that the business had over £200,000 in assets.

Gemma is also an accomplished dressage rider, inheriting her love of equestrianism from her footballer father and mother Louise Bonsall.

After entering her first competition at the age of 10, Gemma has competed internationally for Team GB, most recently at the junior European Championships in 2021 when the team finished sixth.

But her progress was brought to a tragic pause in early 2023 when her junior team horse Sirius Black III died at the age of 18 following a ‘sudden and severe illness’.

Her talent has led to her becoming an ambassador for the equestrian clothing line, Holland Cooper Equestrian and gaining a brand collaboration with Charles Owen Helmets.

Gemma is thought to be currently single, after she split from British boxer Prince Naseem Hamed’s son Aadam.

The couple’s was confirmed in October when both the reality star and the boxer, 23, posted separate photos at the same location in Dubai.

However, on the Beauty Awards’ red carpet at the end of November, Gemma revealed she was ‘absolutely single’.

She told The Sun: ‘I am absolutely single; I’m not dating anyone. I’m not in a relationship. Just living my best life, on my own.’

When they first began dating, a source at the time said: ‘They’ve been getting close for a while but this Dubai trip is them making it properly official.’

The relationship was Gemma’s first since she and Luca Bish split in November 2022, three months after coming second place on Love Island.

Katherine Ryan looks gorgeous in a low-cut, form-fitting dress at the Vanity Fair Rising Star party

Katherine Ryan looked stunning as she attended the star-studded Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party on Wednesday night.

The comedian, 40, wore a floor-length black fitted gown with a quirky cut, plunging neckline for the annual celebration, held at the Four Seasons Hotel.

She elevated her height with a pair of nude strappy heels and carried a matching box clutch bag.

To complete her look, Katherine styled her blunt cut bob straight and opted for a flick of black eyeliner with a nude lipstick.

The event was in celebration of the only category at the EE BAFTA Film Awards voted for by the public. The BAFTAS will be held on February 18.

The outing comes after Katherine revealed the heartbreaking reason why she would let her 14-year-old daughter Violet go on Love Island.

The comedian told how she ‘wouldn’t be against’ the ITV dating show – after a series of sons and daughters of celebrities such as Gemma Owen have headed into the villa.

She sadly told how it would probably be ‘one of the safest places for a teenager to be in a few years’ because of the safeguarding the series has.

Katherine also told how she thinks Violet would be most like Dani Dyer on the show who emerged as the Girl Next Door type.

She told The Sun: ‘In my teens, I was doing all kinds of dangerous things — sleeping out in fields and getting into random cars. At 17 I was going out with someone who was 31.

‘But I don’t think Violet will make those kinds of mistakes. She probably can’t help but absorb my feminist mantras, so I think she values herself more than I did at that age.

‘If she wanted to get into TV, I wouldn’t be against Love Island. She’d be the Dani Dyer type. It will probably be one of the safest places for a teenager to be in a few years because of the safeguarding on that show.

‘I can imagine her just there to prop the other girls up and say all the right things and be a sweetheart.’

Katherine shares two children Fenna Grace, 13 months and Fred, two, with her husband Bobby Kootstra, 40, as well as Violet with ex-boyfriend Alex Edelman.

It comes after last week Katherine revealed exactly how many times a month she has sex with her husband.

The star explained how she likes to ‘keep a log’ of any amorous activity with husband of four years Bobby in case she ends up pregnant.

In an interview with The Times, where she was asked if she was particularly active in the bedroom, Katherine replied: ‘No, but I should be. We have sex exactly twice a month. I log it just in case I do get pregnant.’

The comedian regularly shares her life as a mum with her 983k Instagram followers, and insisted of her parenting style: ‘I’m very confident about it. I do things my way and I never follow what the grandma says or what the book says.

‘I never went to NCT groups. They tried to lure you in, [I] said no. I was 24, pregnant in a foreign country with no family and I was like, “I got it!” I got pregnant with Violet on purpose. I joke that she was a surprise, but she wasn’t.’

She previously admitted that she and Bobby go ‘back and forth about having more babies,’ saying: ‘I will never allow him to get the snip! I just really love kids.’

Katherine and Bobby have been together since 2018 but have known each other since they were children, growing up together in Canada.

Childhood sweethearts, the two parted ways initially before rekindling things this side of the Atlantic.

The pair got a civil partnership in 2019, and went to Denmark for the ceremony, with Katherine previously telling The Jonathan Ross Show: ‘It was a lovely day. It’s perfect having a civil partner.

‘We didn’t have a wedding, I didn’t need to put on a white dress and pretend to be a virgin, that ship has sailed!’

Katherine was born in Ontario, Canada and left home at 18 to study city planning.

However, she found her first success as a waitress working for Hooters, and moved to the UK to open the chain’s first UK branch in Nottingham.

In 2008, Katherine won the Funny Women award, but she had to wait until 2012 for her first major UK TV appearances.

She has since starred on a whole host of comedy programmes such as Have I Got News For You, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Mock The Week, Would I Lie To You? and a League Of Their Own.
