Former Liverpool striker Owen, who was named the world’s finest player in 2001, invited Keith Lemon, host of ITV’s Through the Keyhole, to his lavish residence.

Since 2001, 42-year-old Owen has resided in the house with his wife Louise Bonsall and their four kids.
His Love Island-staring daughter Gemma, of course, grew up there.
In the first episode, she talked about her well-known father, saying he “had an opinion” on the boys she dated, before the other contestants found out who her father was.
Prior to that, though, Lemon—real name Leigh Francis—discovered a gaming section that contained a full-sized snooker table.
On the wall is a large picture frame that showcases several of Owen’s England jerseys from his 89 caps.
