Gemma Owen has caused quite the storm on Love Island since emerging on the show earlier this week.
She has become one of the most talked-about people on the eighth series so far and her rapidly rising celebrity has been confirmed by her family’s decision to bring in a PR agency, Off Limits Entertainment, to help manage her image.
No doubt likely to receive a swarm of modelling offers after her time on the show, she would be following a well-trodden path of the daughters of footballers going into the modelling industry.
But which other top footballers have seen their kids launch careers as models?
