Gemma Owen has banned her famous father Michael from wearing her swimwear brand.
The Love Island star, 19, launched OG Beachwear – which her mum is listed as a director of – during the first Covid lockdown in 2020 and is regularly seen posing in bikinis and swimsuits on Instagram.
And it doesn’t look like the former England player, 42, will be modelling his daughters designs anytime soon as she claims ‘no dad bods’ are allowed.
Not good enough: Gemma Owen has banned her famous father Michael from wearing her swimwear brand
The former Liverpool ace said on the Walking The Dog podcast: ‘Well, apparently I’ve tried to wear some of the shorts and she’s said, ‘No dad bods’.’
‘He’s banned,’ Gemma, who has been modelling her own creations while looking for love in Majorca, added.
Michael confirmed: ‘I’m banned – ‘no dad bods in my shorts’. I’m willing to put in a big order, but she’s still saying ‘no’.’
Gemma’s swimwear business is reportedly failing to make any profits and is actually losing money.
According to The Sun, accounts for GRO Clothing Limited which takes in cash from her OG Beachwear range, show it made a loss of £756 in 2021.

It comes days after we revealed Gemma’s mother Louise is planning to give Luca the once over by heading onto the ITV show for a Meet the Parents section.
Sources told us Gemma is apparently gutted her dad isn’t heading into Love Island – as her mum is ‘much more scary’.
Retired footballer Michael announced last week that he will leave the Meet The Parents section of the show to wife Louise while he looks after his horses.
And pals of Gemma say her Love Island beau Luca will face an intense once over from the soccer WAG.

A source said: ‘None of Gemma’s friends are surprised Louise is the one who will be heading over to take part in the programme if required.
‘Anyone Gemma’s ever met has had to impress Louise and she normally gets to meet them long before Michael does.
‘Gemma and Louise are incredibly close and socialise together so she often gets to meet a lot of the guys she hangs around with.
‘So far she’s been impressed with Luca and likes the way he behaves. But she will give him a very intense once over when she meets him. Louise is very blunt and doesn’t pull any punches. If she doesn’t like someone she will say. It is a trait Gemma has inherited.’

Recent reports also claimed Luca could be invited on a Summer holiday the family have planned to Dubai.
Louise has been opening up on Instagram this week about how much she misses her daughter.
In a post she shared a picture of them together saying she can’t wait to see her again.
The pair went into business together shortly before Gemma jetted off to take part in the ITV show.
Her and Luca are one of the favourite couples to win.
Love Island airs at 9pm weekdays and Sundays on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
