The former England footballer, 56, has prepared his 19-year-old graphic design student daughter for stardom after her stint on the ITV2 dating competition by helping her “sign up” for the same talent management agency as last year’s contestant, 20, who is the daughter of ex Liverpool player Michael Owen, 43, another footballing legend.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: “Amber may only be 19, but she’s got her head screwed on — so Dennis and her mum Claire were fully supportive of her joining the show.

“But they know what fame can be like so have helped Amber sign up with Off Limits to look after her career. They know she’ll be in good hands as the agency’s done such a brilliant job with Gemma.

“They helped her secure massive brand deals but, just as importantly, helped to look after the rumour mill surrounding her split with Love Island boyfriend Luca.”

Amber - who has footballer brother Harry, 23, who plays for the New York Red Bulls II - has zoomed in on Tyrique Hyde, 24, while Mitchel Taylor, 26, has got his eye on her after declaring herself “very independent” and not requiring a boyfriend.

She said before her Casa Amor adventure: “I’m very independent. I’ve never needed a guy, now it’s more that I want one. I’m creative, very flirty.”

Gemma has accrued a number of brand deals after the show, such as becoming a brand ambassador for the online fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing and a rumoured reality show with her famous family but has opened up about the “stigma” surrounding starting a career on the dating TV series.

She told the Times newspaper: “There can be a stigma when you do a show like 'Love Island'.

“But there are amazing opportunities, too if you can just be yourself. I wanted to do it, but only if I could just be me: plain-spoken and real. I am good at not showing my feelings if I have to.”
