What happened to Marcel Somerville on Love Island 2017?
Marcel was popular with the ladies from the very start - but all they wanted from him was friendship!
That all changed when Gabby Allen entered the villa and the pair hit it off immediately.
The couple confessed their love for each other and came fourth in the final.
After staying celibate throughout the series, Marcel revealed to The Sun Online that he'd finally slept with Gabby after the wrap party.
Why did Marcel Somerville split from Gabby Allen?
In April 2018, it was revealed that Gabby Allen had dumped Marcel after discovering that he had cheated on her while they were on holiday together.
Gabby confronted Marcel with incriminating text messages she found on his phone from another woman.
Marcel arranged to meet the fellow guest at the resort for "day sex" while Gabby worked out in the gym.
A source said: “They had a row one night so Gabby went back to their hotel room to sleep.
“Marcel started chatting to another woman at the bar where they kissed in full view of other guests.
"He insisted that he was staying there for promotional purposes and that it was over between him and Gabby."
Marcel later accused HER of cheating with former Towie star Dan Osborne.
Recently, during her time on Celebrity Big Brother 2018, Gabby confessed that she broke things off with Marcel via a text after his cheating scandal.
She said: "I told him to 'Go and f**k yourself'!"
