Marcel Somerville, who appeared on Love Island: All Stars, has revealed why his romance with fellow contestant Olivia Hawkins ended after just ten days. While admitting there was pressure to make the relationship work after leaving the villa, Marcel stated they both chose to remain friends as he focuses on 'sorting out' his personal life, which includes a recent divorce from his wife of two years.
Love Island 's Marcel Somerville has spilled the beans on why he and Olivia Hawkins decided to part ways. Marcel, 39, who was an original contestant on Love Island : All Stars, quickly hit it off with fellow Islander Olivia. However, after just ten days in the South African villa, they were sent packing, exiting the show as a pair.
The reality star did admit, though, that there was pressure on them to make it work, saying: "Me and Liv got to know each other over six or seven days in total and you leave the villa together and people are expecting and hoping it's going to turn into something more but when you get back to reality - I've obviously got a lot of stuff going on, she's got a lot of stuff going on.
He told the Mirror: "We just decided that it was best not to put pressure on our situation. We might still meet up and go to the football but we're not going to create a situation where we're together and the pressure of that when it doesn't need to be that just yet." "For me, it's a situation of right person, wrong time. It's a situation of wanting focus on things I want to get sorted out first before I dive into another relationship and put more pressure onto life."
