Love Island: All Stars’ Marcel Somerville responds after Gabby Allen detailed her hopes of reconciliation despite his cheating – but he IS still married to his unfaithful ex
Love Island Alum Marcel Somerville Discusses Possible Reunion with Ex Gabby Allen Following Her Statement Indicating Openness to Surprising Reconciliation.
During their time in the villa for series 3 in 2017, the duo found themselves as a couple. However, their relationship didn’t last long beyond the show, as he was unfaithful to her shortly afterwards.
Before his upcoming appearance on the dating show where fitness influencer Gabby, age 32, will also rejoin, Marcel, aged 39, has hinted at the possibility of meeting her again, saying it might be quite pleasant and that he’s open to anything.
In conversations with TopMob and various media outlets, Marcel clarified that a significant amount of events have transpired since departing the villa. He further disclosed that he and his former partner have managed to maintain an amicable relationship following their separation, as they’ve run into each other post-split and resolved their issues through open dialogue.
After admitting that he had committed a mistake by cheating on her, Marcel, who is still legally married to Rebecca Vieira but estranged from her, explained how they have both progressed and grown apart over the years. As a result, he found it pleasant to reconnect with her.
Speaking about trying romance again, he mentioned: “It’s not entirely ruled out, but clearly, it’s all speculative. If she were around, I believe it would mostly be a matter of assessing the feelings between us and checking if the old spark is still present.
‘But like you know what I mean like it’s been seven years, the spark might not be reignited.’
In the meantime, Gabby, who says it’s been six years since she last saw the ex-member of Blazin’ Squad, hasn’t completely dismissed the idea of a reunion, even though he was unfaithful to her.
Following a period of personal indiscretion that led to the end of his marriage with Rebecca, Gabby speculates that the boyband member might have grown and wised up, potentially making him ready for another chance at their relationship.
She told TopMob: ‘I am a big Love Island fan and everyone is hot.
In a broad sense, I’m approachable, not only on the show but also off it. It’s not just about physical attraction for me; I crave deeper connections. Given my age, I have specific desires from a potential partner. I am open to connecting with anyone who genuinely resonates with me.
On Marcel, she noted: ‘Certainly, there’s an unspoken issue regarding my former partner potentially returning, but it’s been six years since we last met.’
It’s been a while, no grudges, things are as they are. I’m unsure if he’ll return, and I’m not sure how to prepare for such an event… Honestly, I’m mentally preparing myself for the possibility of his return. If he does come back, I’ll deal with it when it happens.
I’d prefer we could chat, aiming to resolve our issues and perhaps establish a friendly relationship in the future.
We’ve become quite familiar with one another… the previous encounter we shared left quite an impression. With that in mind, there seems to be no obstacle preventing us from drawing upon those positive aspects and perhaps forging a friendship in the process.
Despite the fact that Marcel, who had an affair with Gabby while they were vacationing in Mexico and is legally married but undergoing a divorce, won’t hinder the growth of a potential relationship between them.
Gabby shared: “He’s genuinely thrilled for him… It’s been quite some time, and given his age, it was only natural that this event occurred.
It’s tough to make sense of the situation, and that’s why I’d like to discuss it with him as well. I’m hoping he’s safe if he was involved, and perhaps we can find common ground or connect on some level.
After his relationship with Gabby ended, Marcel eventually fell in love with athlete Rebecca and got married in August 2022.
Last March, the TV personality chose to leave the family residence and erase any trace of Rebecca from his social media platforms, following the revelation that his spouse had been unfaithful. Despite this, they remain legally wed and are currently navigating the divorce proceedings.
Although he was devastated by his wife’s infidelity and the collapse of their marriage, Marcel shared that this moment presents an opportunity for him to venture into the villa. His intention is to regain his self-assurance and leave behind the troublesome memories from the previous year.
He stated: ‘Individuals often err, and such decisions can put others at a crucial juncture. I found myself at such a juncture, facing the option of remaining in an unhappy relationship or taking the step to move forward and seek happiness instead.
As time passes and you continue with your journey, new possibilities and experiences present themselves, making it seem as if this incident was merely a part of the past.
In simpler terms, the musician who is famous for “Flip Reverse” tracks mentioned that his former spouse was taken aback when he disclosed the news, but eventually agreed after understanding that her behaviors were what ultimately led them to this situation.
About the possible criticism he might face for participating in the dating show while still married, Marcel boldly stated that he has no regrets about pursuing his romantic endeavors amidst a prolonged divorce.
Couldn’t I casually think, “Great! I can just sit back and do nothing for about a year and a half to two years while waiting for the divorce proceedings to complete, allowing me to finally start anew with my life afterward?” (Assuming I am not in a relationship or with someone during this period.)
‘Rebecca and I are no longer a couple. We’ve both come to a realization that our marriage is over and it’s time for us to move forward separately. I believe it’s natural for anyone to want to continue living their life after such a change.’
At 39 years old, Marcel will become the eldest inhabitant of the villa, but he emphasizes that this isn’t a concern because there shouldn’t be any age restrictions when it comes to seeking joy.
In response to being questioned about potentially being paired with a significantly younger woman (the maximum age difference being 15 years, if partnered with 24-year-old Catherine Agbaje), Marcel expressed: “Love Island: All Stars implies that everyone who’s appeared on the show before might be older than they were when they first joined the show.
It’s likely that some people in their mid-thirties will be present. Since I am also in my thirties, around 39 years old, a woman of about 32 or 33 wouldn’t find much of an age gap between us, would she?
Love Island: All Stars returns Monday 13th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
