Love Island’s Marcel Somerville seems to have had quite the rollercoaster year.
First, he was rushed into hospital with suspected coronavirus but was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He then announced that his girlfriend, Rebecca Vieira, was pregnant with their first child before they got engaged when he popped the question at their gender reveal party.
Blimey, we haven’t left the house yet this week…
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse this weekend, when Marcel, 34, was reportedly attacked by a masked moped gang.
It’s thought the former Blazin’ Squad star was driving to his favourite restaurant in London with a friend when they noticed some people on mopeds driving alongside their car. When they turned into a side street to park, the masked moped drivers pulled up alongside them.
“As Marcel opened his car door two of the gang got off the bikes and went for him with their machetes drawn swinging them at him,” a source told OK! magazine.
“So he quickly closed the door and they locked the car from the inside. The attackers shouted again and again ‘get out the f--king car’ as they started hitting the windows of the motor.”

Amber Davies
Although the pair moved in together and things seemed to be going well, Amber and Kem announced their split just before Christmas in 2017, just a few months after leaving the villa. The pair have seemingly remained friends, with Amber going on to focus on her career. After landing a number of promotion deals, Amber's dreams came true when she was cast in Dolly Parton musical 9 to 5 in the West End, playing the role of Judy Bernly.
Kem Cetinay
He was one of the favourites to win the show from the start, and after he proved his loyalty towards Amber, there was no turning back for hairdresser Kem.
