Gemma Owen’s dad Michael breaks silence to admit he’s refusing to watch her on the show and left the COUNTRY to avoid it

The striker, who was in Munich to cover England's Nations League clash against Germany, said: "I came all the way to Germany to try and avoid all that back home, but it has been brought up straight away! “But I am feeling alright.
This is taking my mind off it so don’t bring it back up.” It came after host Jules Breach said at the beginning of Channel 4's football coverage: “Joining me hoping to see another famous win for England tonight in Munich, England and Arsenal midfield Jordan Nobbs, former England, West Ham and Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole, and the father of Love Island’s Gemma Owen.” There were laughs in the studio, and she then asked Owen: “A big night for the Owens last night Michael, how are you feeling?” .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
