The lads and ladies in the cast will take turns bringing the heat with filthy dance routines on tonight’s episode of Love Island, which is sure to send the participants’ hearts racing.
Newcomer Claudia Fogarty is making her way from the UK all the way to the villa in South Africa to begin her Winter Love Island journey, and she’s likely to ruffle some feathers when she’s thrown into the mix.
While some viewers may not recognise her, the 24-year-old does have a renowned father – Carl Fogarty.
She is not the first islander with famous parents to join the villa, following in the footsteps of Gemma Owen, Michael Owen’s daughter; Dani Dyer, Danny Dyer’s daughter; and Jack Keating, Ronan Keating’s son.
So, who is her famous father? Here’s what you should know.

Carl, often known as Foggy, is a former motorcycle racer who is widely considered as one of the most successful World Superbike racers of all time.
His father, George Fogarty, was also a former motorcycle racer, thus his desire to go fast on two wheels ran in the family.
Carl is a seven-time world champion in motorcycle racing, having made his competitive debut at the age of 14.
He was forced to retire in 2000 after injuring his shoulder in a collision at Phillip Island, just two years after being awarded an MBE in the 1998 New Year Honours.
In 2002, he created the Foggy Petronas squad in the World Superbike Championship after retiring.
In 2014, he returned to the spotlight by appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, where he won the tournament and was proclaimed Australia’s King of the Jungle.
So maybe he gave his daughter some pointers on how to succeed on reality TV?
Carl married Michaela Fogarty in 1991, and the pair has two daughters, Claudia and Danielle.
Sister Stories is a boutique apparel company owned by the sisters.
Claudia’s sister posted on her Instagram Story after it was announced that she was entering the villa, ‘Go get em Sis. ‘I adore you.’
Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
