Love Island’s Gabby blames show editing for death threats over Marcel
Gabby Allen says that the island adventure broadcast to viewers was not necessarily the full picture.
Love Island runner-up Gabby Allen has told of her shock after leaving the Majorcan villa to find a torrent of death threats from viewers.
The 25-year-old blamed unfair editing of footage, which she said made it appear that she was not taking her relationship with island lover Marcel Somerville seriously.
After logging back into social media when the ITV2 dating show finished this week, Allen said she saw tweets from fans saying they would “stab” or “kill” her if she hurt Somerville.
“It would obviously be a joke, but it would cut off before you could see that.
“When I came out, I was like, ‘What have people been seeing?’ You don’t know how you are being edited.”
Allen assured fans that the pair are “strong” and plan to continue their relationship, following their first official night together at the show’s wrap party.
Less than a week after leaving the island, Somerville is already working on his own love advice book, due to be released next month.
ITV has been contacted for comment.
