However, in 2025, she also made another appearance on Love Island for the All Stars series. She coupled up with Casey O’Gormon, and the pair went on to actually win the show. However, their relationship didn’t last after.
Gabby explained on Joe Baggs’ Not My Bagg podcast that neither of them were happy in the relationship.
She said: “One night he was like ‘Are you happy?’ and I was like ‘no’. He agreed. It was because it just wasn’t working.
“You only have that time when you’re together in the villa to see if you really like each other. But let’s just say when we came out we were just in different places in our lives.”
Was Gabby Allen on Who Dares Wins?
Gabby Allen made several TV appearances following her Love Island success.
But her most recent TV venture was earlier this year when she took part on SAS: Who Dares Wins. She actually finished as joint winner, alongside Dani Dyer and Emily Seebohm.
Speaking about the experience Gabby admitted: “I learned composure. I’m reactive, and instead of reacting, learning to respond. Not everything will go your way, but you can control how you handle it.”
As for the toughest part of the whole show, Gabby found the swimming is what got her.
“I panic in water. The ladder challenge was about composure. Running across it was not the technique. the postman walk across the crater was terrifying. I was exhausted and my cortisol was through the roof. Fear is harder than physical pain.”
Why did Gabby Allen and Brandon split?
Gabby Allen was in a very public relationship with Ex On The Beach star Brandon Myers for more than three years. However the pair called it quits in 2023.
Neither Gabby or Brandon spoke out publicly about their relationship break-up, but many reports suggested the pair had merely grown apart.
Fans were quick to notice they were no longer together after Gabby stopped posting about their relationship on social media. She had previously posted about being “loved up”.
Who is Gabby Allen dating now?
At the moment, Gabby Allen isn’t actually in a relationship, and this is why she is on Celebs Go Dating.
Speaking ahead of her appearance on the Channel 4 show, Gabby admitted it’s “difficult” for her to meet new people.
She explained: “It’s ver hard. I actually think it’s quite difficult to meet people. I think it’s a case of patience, I suppose. To make sure it’s the right person.
“I’m not just going to fall into something just because it’s the next best thing that comes along. It needs to be right. I’m ready to be with somebody properly and build a life with them.”
Did Gabby Allen date Dan Osborne?
Following Gabby’s split with Marcel, she was thrown into the headlines when she was linked to married Dan Osborne, who was reportedly going through a rocky patch with wife Jacqueline Jossa.
Reports suggested Jaqueline found flirty messages from the star on her husband’s phone. But at the time, Gabby and Dan insisted they had done nothing wrong.
Gabby has since spoken about the controversy before her Love Island All Stars stint, adamant that “everyone has moved on”.
She said: “I’m so far removed from that situation now. It’s mad that people would even bring it up. I mean me and Dan were just mates. But we weren’t that good of mates for it to warrant continuing a friendship.
“It was a long time ago, and we knew each other for a short amount of time. That was it. I feel like everybody’s moved on, and I hope things are good with them.”
Dan and Gabby were both on Celebrity Big Brother on the same year, causing the headlines to once again swirl. But Gabby has since confirmed they haven’t spoken since.
She explained to The Sun: “I haven’t spoken to him. Once again, it’s a level of respect. Me and Jac spoke after the original rumours, but not after Big Brother. It was ridiculous and it was settled. I just think there’s no need for me and Dan to be friends.”
Where can I find Gabby Allen’s workout routines online?
Celebs Go Dating star Gabby Allen has made a career away from TV through her fitness routines. The personal trainer wanted her routines to be as accessible as possible, and so there are actually numerous platforms that fans can find them.
The Fiit App is the best place for detailed and well thought through routines, as Gabby is one of their main trainers. Her sessions are designed to be done anywhere, and mainly consist of cardio and strength building.
However, Gabby also frequently posts her own short workout routines on her own social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
What nutrition plans does Gabby Allen recommend for weight loss?
Gabby’s nutrition approach for weight loss is actually fully detailed in her book, Shape Up with Gabby Allen: Fast Food + Dynamic Workouts.
In this, she focusses on a balanced, sustainable lifestyle, rather than a restrictive diet. Gabby promotes high-protein,, veggie-heavy meals that are low in refined carbohydrates and sugars. This is to encourage fat-burning and muscle toning.
