Gabby Allen has broken her silence on her feud with Jacqueline Jossa as she admitted she no longer speaks to the actress’ husband Dan Osborne.
The Love Island star was previously linked to Dan after they were pictured getting close on a yacht in Marbella back in 2018.
Gabby, who is hoping to find love again as she returns to the ITV2 dating series for All Stars next week, revealed she has not spoken to Dan in years.
She told The Sun: ‘That literally hasn’t crossed my mind for years. I feel like I’m so far removed from that situation now, that I don’t know, it’s mad that people would like even bring it up but I suppose people are interested in that aren’t they?
‘I mean me and Dan were just mates, but we weren’t that good mates to like warrant continuing a friendship.’
Gabby went on to wish Jacqueline and Dan, who share two children together, well and hoped that it ‘doesn’t cause issues’ for them and ‘they have moved on’.

She added: ‘It’s like that was a long time ago and we knew each other for a very short amount of time and that was it,’ she shared.
‘I just hope that like that doesn’t cause issues for like them because it was a very long time and I feel like everybody’s moved on and I hope they’re really happy.’
Previously, The Sun claimed that Dan sent ‘flirty messages’ to his former Celebrity Big Brother co-star Gabby — months after the pair vehemently denied claims that they’d had an illicit tryst.
Jacqueline’s marriage to Dan has been plagued by accusations of infidelity over the years and during lockdown she even left the family home to live with her parents, giving the couple space to resolve their problems.
In 2020, Dan confessed to making ‘mistakes’ and said ‘I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done’ as he finally took responsibility for his actions.
He even admitted that if Jacqueline had behaved the same way he did, he would have walked out on their relationship, saying, ‘If it was the other way around I’d be gone.’
It comes as Gabby admitted she’s ‘open’ to the prospect of a shock reconciliation with ex-boyfriend Marcel Somerville, as the pair are set to reunite on Love Island: All Stars.
The fitness influencer claims she hasn’t seen the Blazin’ Squad star, 39, for six years after their relationship ended shortly after their stint in the 2017 series when Marcel cheated on her.

But after the boyband favourite fell victim to infidelity himself, when his wife Rebecca Vieira strayed and subsequently ended their marriage, Gabby believes he may now have learned from his mistakes and could be mature enough to give their romance another go.
Speaking ahead of her return to the ITV2 series, Gabby told MailOnline: ‘I am a big Love Island fan and everyone is hot.
‘I am open in general, not even just on the show but I would like to think that it’s not just looks, I want more from a relationship, I am a bit older, there are certain things I want out of a guy. I am going to be open to everyone and anyone that goes in really.’
On Marcel, she added: ‘Obviously, there’s the elephant in the room that my ex could possibly go in, but we haven’t seen each other for six years.
‘It’s been such a long time, there are no hard feelings, it is what it is. I don’t know if he’s going in, I don’t know how I can actually prepare for that… I am basically preparing myself that he does come in and then if he does, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
‘I would actually just like to have a conversation with him and hopefully put it all behind us and have some sort of friendship.
‘We know each other very well… we had such an experience with each other last time. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t take the positives from it and hopefully be mates of some sort.’
And she won’t let the fact Marcel, who cheated on Gabby when they were on holiday together in Mexico, being technically married still, as he’s currently going through a divorce, stop a possible romance blossoming.
Gabby explained: ‘I am really happy for him… it’s been such a long time, and he is a bit older as well so that was bound to happen.
‘It’s really hard to read what happened and this is why I also want to talk to him because if he was going in, I hope he’s alright and maybe we can relate to each other in some sort of way.’

Since finishing fourth on the 2017 series with Marcel, Gabby has reinvented herself as a fitness influencer and regularly shows off her muscular physique on social media.
Indeed, she’s hoping going back into the villa, this time in Cape Town, South Africa, can change the stigma that ‘strong women can’t be sexy.’
On her body, she said: ‘This is such a huge part of who I am going back into the villa.
‘I want to represent myself and my brand but women who are strong, I work hard to look the way I do and I want to show the world that strong and hopefully sexy too, that it’s good to be healthy and fit and I will put the lads’ through their paces I’m sure.’
And Gabby’s more than prepared for the trolling she’s anticipating receiving, as she’s more than used to it after eight years in the limelight.
She explained: ‘In the same way that I said I’m really confident and want to show that strong is sexy, I am also aware that it’s not everybody’s cup of tea.
‘I already get that on socials, people say I look masculine or I looked better before when I share before and after photos but it’s the same being in there, I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea but this is how I feel most confident in myself.
‘I know what I have to offer if somebody doesn’t particularly like an athletic woman then on you go, you know?
‘I’m expecting comments about all of that, but I have been in the public eye now for eight years and I have had people say the craziest stuff. If they’re saying my physique is too muscly, then that’s a good thing because it shows that I’m strong.’

Gabby admits 2016 series star Scott Thomas is another new cast member she’s got her eye on but she expects plenty of competition from her fellow female Islanders.
She said: ‘As long as there is girl code, we are all there for the same reason, if someone likes your guy they’re going to go for him. It’s every man or woman for themselves.
‘I have confidence in what I can offer. I am open to discuss and coming to an understanding, we’re in it for ourselves but I’m not going to be shouting the house down, I’m going to have respect for everyone, you have to set boundaries and levels.’
Asked what she will do differently this time around in the new All Stars series, which starts on Monday at 9pm on ITV1, she added: ‘I plan on staying in my power and being confident.
‘When I went in the villa last time and I’m sure we all remember, I had a bit of a wobble with my self-confidence and coming out of the show I really learned from that.
‘I hope that this time round I go in how I thought I would be last time. I have done a lot of work on myself, and I feel like I’m in a really good place. Every morning I’m going to wake up and remind myself why I’m there, who I am and get s*** done.’
