Making clear his feelings towards her, Casey insists to Gabby: ‘I’m getting a girlfriend this time Gabby, I’ve manifested it!’
Determined to show her he knows what he wants and that he can be serious, he admits: ‘I feel giddy talking to you, we have a lot in common, I really fancy you and that’s me being serious because I haven’t laughed once!’
And showing their relationship is heating up, the pair then lean in for a kiss away from prying eyes.
In contrast, Marcel sits down for a chat with Olivia Hawkins beside the firepit, in full view of their fellow Islanders, who eagerly watch on.
Despite their audience, Marcel isn’t shy about putting the moves on Olivia, telling her: ‘I feel like me and you have a good energy.’
Olivia shows his feelings are reciprocated, as she admits: ‘You surprised me, I didn’t think we’d get on so well.’
The couple then lean in for their first kiss, while the other Islanders whoop and cheer them on.
The pair later make a promise to stay out of any drama during their time in the villa, saying: ‘Cheers to no drama! Pinky promise it.’

And in what could some famous last words in the Love Island villa, Marcel insists: ‘It’s never drama – we got this!’
At 39, Marcel is the oldest contestant to set foot in the villa, but previously insisted his age is ‘not an issue’ as there should be no limits on finding happiness.
When asked on the possibility of being matched with a much younger lady ahead of the show, he shared: ‘It’s Love Island: All Stars so I feel like everyone that’s been on the show is gonna be older than they were when they first were first on the show.
‘Like I guarantee there’s probably going to be people that are in their 30s. I’m in my 30s. Girls like an older man so I mean, if there’s a girl who’s like 32 or 33, me being 39 is not really going to be a drastic age difference is it?’
Olivia is a decade younger than Marcel, at 29 years old, while the youngest Islander currently in the villa is 24-year-old Catherine Agbaje.
Marcel is currently still legally married and is in the process of divorcing his estranged wife Rebecca Vieira.
The pair welcomed their son Roman, three, back in January 2021, before tying the knot in August 2022.
However, the TV star moved out of the family home and deleted all presence of his wife on social media in March last year, after she cheated on him.

Despite his pain at his wife’s betrayal and subsequent breakdown of his marriage, Marcel explained he felt it was the right time to go in the villa as he hopes to rebuild his confidence and move on from the ‘negatives’ that tormented him in 2024.
He explained: ‘People make mistakes, and those choices lead to other people being at a crossroads. I was at a crossroads where I could choose to stay in a relationship that I was that I wasn’t happy in or I could choose to move on and try and live my life.
‘And then when you move on and try and live your life, other opportunities and other things arise and like this was just something that happened.’
The Flip Reverse hitmaker added that Rebecca was initially ‘shocked’ when he broke the news to her, but soon ‘accepted’ it after realising that it was her actions that ‘led’ them to this point.
On the potential backlash he could get for joining the dating show while still married, a defiant Marcel insisted that he won’t feel bad about moving on with his love life during the lengthy divorce process.
He said: ‘Divorce can take a while, but if I’m not with someone and I’m not in a relationship with that person, is it fair for me to be like “oh cool. I’m not going to do anything for like the next year and a half or two years, whatever it is, until my divorce is filed for me to move on and start living my life again?”
‘Me and Rebecca aren’t together. We’re both at a point where we’re like, you know what? The marriage broke down, we need to move on.
‘I don’t feel like I should be scrutinised for moving on with my life because it’s just something that people need to do.’
Love Island All Stars continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
