Gabby and Marcel first coupled up on the third series of Love Island, in 2017. Brits quickly fell in love with the pair, as they continued to win couple's games and quizes. They eventually came in fourth place and left the villa as a couple. Sadly, Gabby and Marcel split up in 2018 after Marcel admitted to cheating.

"I have the best family and friends around me. I'm a lucky girl.". Marcel issued a statement about his regrets and expressed hope that they may be able to reconcile one day. The statement read: "Marcel can't really defend his actions as he knows he did wrong and will regret it forever.
"Marcel is upset that he broke the heart of someone he loves and someone that he shared so many special moments with, but with all the good times there are difficult times, and sadly Marcel and Gabby had been in a bad place at this stage. "Gabby was a special part of Marcel's life, and he hopes one day she can find it in herself to forgive him.".
