Love Island All Stars viewers are already buzzing with speculation about a major plot twist, even though the ITV2 series has only just kicked off. The show made its comeback on Monday (13 January), with fans voting to pair up the returning Islanders.
In a surprising turn of events, Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville, who previously dated after meeting in the third series of Love Island, were matched by public vote despite their past breakup following Marcel’s infidelity.
The decision led to some uncomfortable moments on screen, but now, fans are sensing a potential romantic revival between the two. Social media was abuzz during Tuesday’s (14 January) episode, as some viewers sensed that Gabby might be warming up to Marcel once more after they shared a conversation.
“Gabby seems too happy to be in a couple with an ex that cheated on her on their baecation… #LoveIslandAllStars,” observed one viewer. Another commented: “PERSONALLY, I think Gabby is letting Marcel off too easily but that’s just me.”
Meanwhile, other fans are cheering for a reconciliation, with tweets like: “Why am I lowkey rooting for Gabby and Marcel to rekindle? ” and “marcel and gabby are made for each other, y’all are on to something we must get them back together.”
“Gabby is still in love #LoveIsland,” one fan forecasted, as another weighed in with: “Guys I actually think Gabby and Marcel are gonna get back together #LoveIslandAllStars.”
During Tuesday’s episode of the series, Gabby and Marcel shared a candid moment to express their current feelings. With a touch of humour, Gabby admitted she “never thought” she’d end up sharing a bed with her former flame again, while they both puzzled over why the public had thrown them back together, reports Wales Online.
In an emotional confession to his ex, Marcel opened up, saying: “I feel better… saying the things I should have said then. I’m getting emotional.”
After a heartfelt discussion, the two agreed to maintain a friendly rapport. Nevertheless, Gabby confided to the ladies that a reunion with Marcel wasn’t on her agenda, as her interest started to drift towards Luca Bish.
Love Island: All Stars airs Sunday to Friday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
