She is following in the footsteps of ex-England star Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma, who finished second last year with her then boyfriend Luca Bish.
Dad Dennis, 56, who was part of the “Crazy Gang” Wimbledon team in the 80s, is no stranger to reality TV after his stint on I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here! in 2017.
A source said: “Amber will really stand out from the crowd on Love Island and jumped at the chance to take part.
“She is very low key and laid back but won’t be taking any nonsense. Amber is incredibly close to her dad and she has his full support in taking part.
“Naturally, it can be awkward for a dad knowing his daughter could be hooking up with someone on TV, but Amber is looking for real love and wants to make her dad proud.”
Amber is studying graphic communication at the University of the Arts London.
She joined her mum Claire and brother Henry in Australia when her dad was named the sixth person to leave the I’m a Celeb camp.
Dennis, who is the CEO of Italian side Como 1907, was caught up in a bullying scandal on the show, when fans claimed he had picked on fellow contestant, comedian Iain Lee.
He denied the claims and said later: “I was shocked when I actually saw all that.
“I’ve got to get tickets for Iain and his two kids. They’re going to go to Chelsea.”
Dennis started off his career at Wimbledon and rose to prominence after helping the club beat Liverpool to the FA Cup in 1988.
He played for Chelsea from 1990 to 2001 and also for England.
Amber will be joined by a host of new male and female contestants when she goes into the second villa in Majorca, with a chance of winning the show’s £50,000 prize.
