Marcel Somerville has opened up about his betrayal of Gabby Allen, describing his wife cheating on him last year as ‘karma’ for what he did to his Love Island ex. The Blazin’ Squad star slept with another guest staying at the same hotel he was in with Gabby during a romantic holiday to Mexico, eight months after they left the ITV dating show together. Gabby was left utterly heartbroken and dumped the singer immediately.
In March, Marcel got a bitter taste of his own medicine when he discovered wife Rebecca Vieira had been sending racy messages to rapper Slim Jxmmi. The Mirror revealed how an 'utterly broken' Marcel had moved out of the family home he shared with their two kids, after the mother of Slim's child claimed Rebecca had sent 'intimate' messages to her partner. She leaked the messages online and even tagged Rebecca and Marcel in the posts for them to see.
“I did feel like maybe this is karma," Marcel tells us. "But this was a different relationship. When you're married you are fully invested. When things happened with Gabby, I made a point of saying to myself, ‘Yes you are in the whirlwind of everything that was going on - because life was crazy at the time - and you messed up, you made a mistake.
"It made me look at myself and think you are never going do that again. You don't want to be that person. I grew after that situation and I learned a lot. I went into my relationship with Rebecca thinking that Marcel is gone that I was going to become this new version of myself. So I was a family guy, I was doing DIY around the house. I was doing all of those things.
