Love Island All Stars: Why Did Gabby & Marcel Break Up?

Last week, Marcel spoke to the Mirror before re-entering the villa and revealed that the pair have crossed paths again since their break-up. “Obviously, I made my mistake, put my hands up, but after that situation we did actually bump into each other and have a conversation and talk about everything, hugged it out and it was a very amicable ending to our life.”

What might happen between Gabby and Marcel in Love Island: All Stars?

As Gabby told The Sun before re-entering the villa, seeing Marcel again will probably be — well — a tad uncomfortable. “I haven’t seen him for six years, so I don’t know how I’m going to feel when I see him,” she said. "It was a big betrayal of trust. Even though I’m over it now, it was something that happened."

She added that she hoped she and Marcel would get the chance to talk things over. “I’d actually like to have a conversation with him and put it behind us and have some sort of friendship,” she said. "We did go out with each other for a year and we know each other well and we had an experience with each other last time. So there’s no reason we shouldn’t take the positives from it and hopefully be mates of some sort."

Both Gabby and Marcel are coming back to Love Island with new-found maturity.

“I feel like I am now, who I thought I was then,” said Gabby. “I’m confident in who I am as a person and hopefully that will help me meet someone, because I know what I want and I don't want to settle.”

Meanwhile, Marcel said, “In my series I was deemed ‘Dr Marcel’, I was giving everyone love advice! Since the show, I’ve gone through a lot of situations in life and in love so I’ve topped up my knowledge… but I feel like maybe I need to take some advice when it comes to love this time round as well.”
