Former Love Island contestant Marcel Somerville has spoken out after his girlfriend and fellow islander Gabby Allen revealed she had been inundated with racial abuse over their relationship.
Asked about how he felt about Gabby sharing her feelings with fans, he said: “I was proud of her”.
Gabby, 25, and Marcel, 31, came fourth in the competition which ended last week.
In videos posted on her Instagram, Gabby said that the abuse “breaks my heart” and threatened to name and shame the trolls to her followers.
