Love Island All Stars’ Marcel Somerville has revealed ‘cheating’ wife Rebecca Viera’s reaction to him entering the infamous villa.
The hunk, 39, first appeared on the show back in 2017, and came in fourth place alongside ex Gabby Allen, who will also be in the villa and has detailed her hopes of a reconciliation.
Marcel is still married and going through a divorce after splitting from Rebecca, with whom he shares three-year-old-son Roman, last year after she admitted to ‘cheating’ him with US rapper Slim Jxmmi.
Revealing how he broke the news to his estranged wife he told The Mirror:’“I had to tell Rebecca that I wasn’t going to be around for a few weeks, she said: “I can’t believe this. I can’t believe this is happening”‘.
‘But she’s got to a point of understanding that our relationship has broken down. We’re going through a divorce. It’s got to get to a point where we have to start moving forward and living our lives separately’
The Blazin Squad star admitted the news was a ‘shock’ to Rebecca: ‘ She was she wasn’t expecting it to happen, but she’s become accepting of the situation because she made a mistake. I can’t put my life on hold when opportunities like this come up’.

It comes after Rebecca broke her silence on Marcel’s Love Island appearance 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 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.

‘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.’
