Love Island fans can’t believe casts ‘real age’ as they are left ‘cringing’ at All Stars launch
As the dating show got underway for a brand new series, the Islanders revealed their names, ages and a bit about themselves.
The cast all differ in age, but fans noticed that some Islanders were in their thirties and shared their disbelief.
Gabby Allen revealed she’s 32, Marcel Somerville said he’s 39, and Scott Thomas told the camera he’s 36 years old.
And Love Island viewers flooded X with comments saying they ‘couldn’t believe’ their ages.
One person wrote: “Looking at the ages of those going back in and they’re more likely to ask each other for a nap over a chat.”
A second said: “The ages of these Love Islanders are mad.”
A third commented: “I’m absolutely cringing at the ages of these Islanders.”
And a fourth echoed: “They’re how old?! This can’t be real.”
Marcel has been in the entertainment industry for many years after shooting to fame in the early noughties as part of Blazin’ Squad.
The dad-of-one – who is still married to estranged wife Rebecca Vieira – was actually born in 1986, and turned 39 recently.
This means that the rapper – who previously left the villa with fellow All Stars 2025′ Islander Gabby Allen – is the oldest star on the show.
The youngest member of the line-up so far is Catherine Agbaje, who is 24, and was born in 2000.
When fans initially worked this out, they immediately took to social media to share their shock.
One tweeted: “Why is someone near 40 going in the villa. Like not even trying to be mean but the reality is Hannah did not have luck last year, this show isn’t going to have the crowd for him.”
While another said: “Just went to look up Marcel’s age gosh he turns 39 today, there’s no way he’s lasting long in there!
“He’ll probably drop out on day three or get dumped at the end of the week.”
This one added: “Marcel going back to love island has been killing me all day you’re 40 years old with children at home and on top of that still legally married.”
Another chimed in: “wtf?? Ain’t Marcel like 40 tf is going there for?”
