"Marcel AND Gabby?" quipped a third while another declared: "Marcel and Gabby?! Carnage!"
And a final fan added: "Marcel and Gabs... oh lord."
Both Marcel and Gabby appeared on the 2017 season together before finishing as runners-up to Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay. Their romance, however, was short-lived as they parted ways in May 2018 after Marcel admitted to infidelity during a holiday.

A source said at the time, as per MailOnline: "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."
At the time, a spokesperson for Marcel told the outlet: "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."

They added: "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."
After the split, Gabby took to Instagram to share a statement for her fans, writing: "Thank you to everyone for your kind messages, love and support. It's been tough couple of days, I think I might still be in a bit of shock! But I'm sure in time I will be OK. I have the best family and friends around me. I'm a lucky girl."
Since Marcel, Gabby continued to date, having relationships with the likes of Brandon Myers and Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson.

Following his split with Gabby, Marcel started up a relationship with Rebecca Vieira who welcomed a son named Roman, and married in 2022.
However, just two years later in 2024, Rebecca admitted to sending flirty messages to US rapper Slim Jxmmi and reportedly admitted to 'cheating' on Marcel.
Marcel and Rebecca are reportedly still married and 'in the process of divorcing'.
