Marcel Somerville’s estranged wife Rebecca Vieira shared a cryptic post on Instagram on Tuesday, hours before he was confirmed to join Love Island All Stars alongside his ex girlfriend Gabby Allen.
Marcel is part of the line up for the second series of the ITV2 spin-off show, just months after splitting from Rebecca.
The star first appeared on the dating programme back in 2017 and came in fourth place with Gabby Allen. They kept their romance going outside the villa, however they split after he cheated on her during a holiday.
Marcel later found love with athlete Rebecca and they tied the knot in August 2022. However, the TV star moved out of the family home and deleted all presence of Rebecca on social media in March last year after his wife cheated. They are still married and are in the process of divorcing.
Now Rebecca has broken her silence by re-sharing a quote which read, ‘What makes you beautiful is that you stayed soft in a life that tried to harden you’.
She also shared a sizzling bikini picture as she showed off her amazing figure in the two-piece while posing in a kitchen.

She added a coordinated bucket hat and wore a pair of ripped blue denim shorts unbuttoned.
Following news of their split, Rebecca penned a public letter of apology, holding herself fully accountable for cheating on Marcel with American rapper Slim Jxmmi.
Taking to Instagram at the time, she wrote: ‘By now most of you would have seen what’s going on, I’ve made a huge mistake, I’ve embarrassed not only my husband but myself and both our families.
‘My actions were foolish and have hurt so many people around us but most importantly my husband.
‘I’ve said a lot of things that I shouldn’t have and it was stupid of me so I won’t sit here and justify my actions, those decisions should have never been made.’
She added: ‘I want to publicly apologise to my Marcel, just as loudly as the rest of the noise. For all the hurt, embarrassment and pain I have put him through there is nothing and no one in the world that comes before you and our family.
‘No-one could ever compare.’
She then posted a picture of the couple’s gold wedding bands which had engraved ‘always and forever.’

Marcel and Rebecca welcomed their son Roman back in January 2021 and now co-parent their little boy.
Rounding off the year, Marcel said he was glad to say bye to 2024 as it was the ‘hardest year of his life’.
And in September, Marcel shared a post reflecting on his ‘stressful year’ full of ‘ups and downs’ and said he wants to focus on his son Roman and ‘protecting his future’.
He penned: ‘It’s been a stressful year, ups and downs but you only get dealt what you can manage.
‘Things happen in life that make you take a look at the things that are most important to you and for me the most important thing to me is my Son and doing everything within my power to make sure he’s always going to be GOOD!’
‘Protecting his future is something I always tried to do but if this year showed me anything it’s that life can always throw a curve ball.
‘So I’ve been on a journey of learning and growth that’s put me on a path I never thought about before. I’ve learnt you can’t always protect them against everything life throws but my priority now is to ensure I can give Ro everything he needs in life until I can’t.
‘I’ve added a new string to the bow after the turmoil and it’s brought me happiness putting my energy into something that’s given me so much already.’
Marcel and ex Gabby are set for one very awkward reunion on Love Island All Stars which starts on Sunday.
The pair met on Love Island back in 2017 and almost a year later Marcel admitted to cheating on her during a romantic holiday to Mexico together leading her to dump him.
The pair reportedly had argued during their time away together so Marcel chose to sneak out and meet up with another hotel guest.
A source said at the time: ‘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.

‘Marcel and the girl slept together in her room and he left and went back to Gabby’s room, but promised to see her the following day when Gabby was at the gym.’
Now they will have to live in a villa together once more as they jet to South Africa for the new series. Since Marcel, Gabby has had a series of relationships with the likes of Brandon Myers and Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson.
In May 2018 Marcel broke his silence following his sudden split from Gabby and confirmed that he did cheat on her, admitting it’s a decision he will ‘regret forever’.
Speaking to MailOnline a spokesperson for Marcel explained that the Blazin’ Squad star understood his wrongdoings and hoped that one day Gabby would forgive him.
His rep said at the time: ‘Sadly the rumours are true, Gabby and Marcel have split up. 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.
Adding: ‘Gabby was a special part of my Marcel’s life, and he hopes one day she can find it in herself to forgive him.
‘He knows what he did was wrong and is extremely sad about how he has hurt Gabby.’
The pair will join the likes of Olivia Hawkins, Curtis Pritchard, Luka Bish and Kaz Crossley in the lavish South African villa in the hope of finding love.
Last year’s series, which is hosted by Maya Jama, saw Molly Smith and Tom Clare crowned winners and bagged the whopping £50,000 prize.
