What happened between Gabby and Marcel?
Despite leaving Love Island as a couple, Gabby and Marcel weren't meant to be and the pair split in February 2018. However it wasn't an amicable break-up, as Gabby reportedly caught Marcel cheating on her while they were on holiday together in Mexico.
After news of their split broke, Gabby released a statement which said: "Thank you to everyone for your kind messages, love and support. It's been a tough couple of days, I think I might still be in a bit of shock.
"But I'm sure, in time, I'll be okay. I have the best family and friends around me. I'm a lucky girl."
Marcel then told new! magazine: “I'm upset. I'm sad. Like, I made a mistake and there's nothing I can do.
"I do love her and I do miss her, but there's nothing you can do about it."
Who has Gabby Allen dated and who are her ex-boyfriends?
After leaving Love Island, Gabby was reportedly involved in a fling with TOWIE star Dan Osbourne in 2018, who was married to Jaqueline Jossa at the time.
While the pair have never confirmed their dalliance, they did appear on Celebrity Big Brother shortly after the reports came to light, which only fuelled the rumours.
Speaking to The Sun prior to taking part in All Stars, Gabby touched on the subject, saying: "That literally hasn't crossed my mind for years.
"I feel like I'm so far removed from that situation now, that I don't know, it's mad that people would like even bring it up but I suppose people are interested in that aren't they? I mean me and Dan were just mates, but we weren't that good mates to like warrant continuing a friendship."
Gabby has also had a high-profile relationship with The X Factor star Myles Stephenson. They were together for around a year before she discovered him sending flirty text messages to another girl.
She has also been linked to Ex on the Beach star Brandon Myers.
