Michael Owen has delivered his less than impressed verdict on daughter Gemma's first week on Love Island. Speaking before the ITV2 series got underway, the former sportsman admitted that it was 'every father's worst nightmare' to see their teenage daughter head into the infamous villa.

And after watching Gemma, aged 19, partner swap, bed swap and kiss numerous male contestants on the show over the last few days, Michael has not altered his opinion, The Mirror writes.Describing Gemma as his 'pride and joy', Michael said of her antics over the last few days: "It's not something any father wants to watch, is it?"Giving his first interview since the show kicked off on June 6, Michael said that he could barely watch his 'clever, funny and kind' daughter crack on with the lads in the villa.Michael said his eyes had been opened to the world of Love Island as he admitted he was naïve as to the rules of the game before watching the series for the first time.The dad-of-four recalled his shock at seeing Gemma hop into bed with a man on her very first night, before his wife Louise had to explain that was the norm."Luckily for me there was no physical contact.

Gemma had her back to the guy."There was space between them. I thought, 'Good girl'. No father wants to see physical contact do they?

I certainly don't. If there is physical contact I think I'll be throwing something at the screen. I don't want to see kissing.
