Why did Gabby Allen and Myles Stephenson split?

On August 22, 2019, The Sun exclusively revealed that Gabby dumped Myles after catching him messaging other girls.

The Love Island star discovered flirty message exchanges on Instagram between her beau and other women.

The couple had been going strong since they started dating in September - having moved into a North London home together at the beginning of the year.

But their relationship has been rocky in recent months and after a string of rows Myles temporarily moved back home with his mum to give Gabby space.

However instead of the move helping their relationship, Gabby grew suspicious of Myles' sketchy behaviour.

A pal said: “Gabby ­suspected Myles had been messaging a girl a while ago, but he told her that one of his mates had used his Instagram account.

“Then when they were meant to be having space apart, Gabby caught him red-handed. She immediately ended the relationship.

“She is shocked that it happened, especially after everything she went through with Marcel.

“She has made her decision and doesn’t want to be with someone she can’t trust.”

In the days prior to The Sun revealing the split, there had been speculation that they had split after she deleted loved-up snaps of her and Myles from her Instagram.

Who is Gabrielle Allen, how old is she and what does she do?

Gabrielle Allen is a professionally-trained dancer and health fanatic from Liverpool who works as a fitness instructor.

The Scouse beauty doesn't waste her time when it comes to dating, and reveals that if she doesn't feel a spark "then it's a bit cutthroat".

The 26-year-old also admits that she's "a nightmare at times, probably – maybe a bit hard work."

Gabrielle has also revealed that she suffered from scoliosis, which involves curvature or twisting of the spine.

She had to have a major operation on her back, which left an 18-inch scar and then had to relearn how to walk.
But the patient was more determined because of her love of dancing and won a ballet championship six months after her op.

What has Gabby been up to since leaving Love Island?

The petite blonde has been busy with personal appearances since the 2017 series ended.

The Sun revealed that the Love Island stars can charge around £5,000 an hour to show up at venues and sign autographs.

Marcel and Gabby's relationship hit the rocks in April 2018 amid claims that he had cheated on her while they were on a romantic holiday together.

At the end of April 2018, it was revealed the pair had split.

What happened when Marcel cheated on Gabby?

On April 30, 2018 it was reported Gabby dumped Marcel after discovering he slept with another woman behind her back while they were on a romantic holiday TOGETHER.

Gabby was left devastated after the other woman showed her incriminating messages from Marcel where he even suggested meeting her for some “day sex” as Gabby worked out in the hotel gym.

The couple were staying at Mexico’s Temptation Resort and posted a number of loved-up pictures during their break in February.

But their holiday came back to haunt Gabby, who was contacted by Marcel’s other woman on social media.

In messages shown to Gabby, Marcel said: “Tomorrow I’ll be available. We can have some day sex.”

Their second meeting was scuppered when Gabby returned to the hotel room earlier than expected.

Marcel since apologised for his actions.

What happened between Gabby and Dan Osborne?

Marcel accused Gabby of cheating on him with Dan Osborne on a work trip in Marbella, which the Liverpudlian denied.

Speaking to The Sun, the rapper said: “A mutual friend of Dan and I told me that Gabby and Dan were having sex in Marbella on their work trip, and also when they got back to England.

“They saw I was having a hard time with everything and thought it was only right I knew the truth – the person has no reason to lie, so I believe it happened.

“I know I did wrong which I have publicly apologised and taken full responsibility for but for someone to play the victim when they’re doing wrong as well is not cool, especially with a married man who has a child on the way.

“Obviously we both knew the relationship wasn’t working which is why these things have happened.”

But Gabby said Marcel is only accusing her because he still feels guilty about his own infidelity.

A spokesman for Gabby said: “Gabby was 100 percent faithful during her relationship with Marcel and finds it disappointing that he is attempting to make himself feel better about his own adultery with these baseless and malicious untruths."

The couple were quizzed about the photographs of them together in Marbella and the rumours surrounding them while in the CBB house.

They soon proved to their housemates that their relationship was just as friends - and Gabby ended up finishing 6th in the grand final.
