Gemma Owen reunites with dad Michael Owen since leaving the villa – who surprises her with a ‘cursed’ yellow beanbag
GEMMA Owen has reunited with her dad Michael Owen since leaving the villa - and he surprised her with a 'cursed' yellow beanbag.
The 19-year-old finally returned home to her incredible house in Cheshire after two months away while starring in Love Island.
On Monday it was revealed that Gemma placed second on the ITV2 show alongside Luca Bish, 23.
After a couple of days in London, the equestrian finally made it back home - and her parents pulled out all the stops with a stunning balloon display.
They also surprised her with a yellow beanbag - a piece of furniture that Gemma and her co-stars said was "cursing" them.
During an episode of Unseen Bits the contestants revealed that they had noticed how anyone who sat down on the yellow beanbag beside the pool was then surrounded by "drama".

Louise shared a pic of the father daughter duo sitting on the yellow bean bag.
She captioned the post: "Oh no not more drama."
