Olivia Hawkins, 29, and Marcel Somerville, 39, have reportedly split just days after leaving the Love Island All Stars villa.

As the first couple to be dumped from the island, fans were rooting for Olivia and Marcel to make things work on the outside. However it now appears the pair have broken-up as their relationship was "no longer romantic".

Speaking about their break-up to The Mirror's The Bombshell Briefing podcast: "So after we left the villa, me and Liv got to know each other over six or seven days in total and you leave the villa together and people are expecting and hoping it's going to turn into something more."

He continued: "But when you get back to reality - I've obviously got a lot of stuff going on, she's got a lot of stuff going on.

Marcel added: "There was pressure to try and make something work but we both said, 'Let's not put pressure on our situation. Let's just be friends.' Because we are really good friends, we've got a really good bond.

"We spent a lot of time in there, we still talk all the time. We just decided that it was best not to put pressure on our situation. We might still meet up and go to the football but we're not going to create a situation where we're together and the pressure of that when it doesn't need to be that just yet.

"We're just seeing how things go, just because I have so much going on in my personal life. For me, it's a situation of right person, wrong time. It's a situation of wanting focus on things I want to get sorted out first before I dive into another relationship and put more pressure onto life."

Olivia also spoke out regarding their relationship, telling People: "We did really get on in the villa.But [we] didn't have enough time together in there before we got thrown out into the limelight."

She continued: "We still speak every day, but I think we've just agreed that it's more of a friendship."

This comes as a stark contrast to how the pair were feeling during their exit interview with Maya Jama, where the couple seemed excited to continue things on the outside world.

The 39-year-old revealed: "I think we’ll eat loads of food and have loads of fun."

Olivia added: "Well I’m happy I’ve left with Marcel, I’m not leaving myself. I’ve come and I’ve found an amazing guy."

Fans had speculated things were not well between the pair after Olivia revealed she wasn't "closed-off" when it came to Marcel.

Speaking on the Sisters In The City Podcast, the 29-year-old stated: "No definitely not closed off."

She went on to add: "You know what, it's like when you come out of the villa there's so much pressure on you and we're not together, we're still getting to know each other.

"We were only coupled up for a week - it’s very early days.

"He's officially still married, he's still going through a divorce, so obviously the situation in Love Island was … you don't think about that, but when you come out you have to think about the logistics of things."
