Love Island's Gabby Allen is breaking her silence amid reports that she's split from boyfriend Marcel Somerville.
The couple, who met and fell in love on the ITV2 reality show last summer, have been the subject of tabloid reports claiming that Gabby dumped the Blazin' Squad member for his alleged conduct with another woman.
Allen opted not to delve deeply into the reporting about the couple's purported split on Twitter on Tuesday (May 1), but did acknowledge that she's going through a "tough" time right now.
"Thank you to everyone for your kind messages, love and support," she tweeted. "It's been a tough couple of days, I think I might still be in a bit of shock.
"But I'm sure, in time, I'll be okay. I have the best family and friends around me. I'm a lucky girl."
Somerville has yet to respond to the tabloid allegations or Allen's tweet seemingly confirming their separation.
What to Read Next
Just two months ago, Allen and Somerville were guests on a Valentine's Day edition of This Morning and let slip that they were considering getting married.
"We've discussed whether we'd get married abroad," Gabby explained. "We've only been together for eight months, so you'd think it would be quick. But it's so magnified that it's already spoken about."
Allen and Somerville are the third Love Island 2017 pair to call it quits since last summer. Winning couple Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies split only a few months after the ITV2 show wrapped, while Olivia Attwood and Chris Hughes lasted long enough to break up on-camera for their own reality show.
