Love Island’s Marcel Somerville shares the first pic of Blazin’ Squad rehearsals ahead of their big comeback gig later this month
The Love Island finalist has got nearly the entire gang back together for two intimate shows in London at the end of this month.
LOVE Island favourite Marcel Somerville has been getting fans excited over the upcoming Blazin’ Squad reunion by snapping pics from inside the rehearsal studio.
The rapper and performer, who proudly bragged about his time in the band during his time on the ITV2 show, is clearly having a blast as he reconnects with his old band mates.
Unable to resist a selfie, Marcel shot a snap of himself as his crew practised behind him.
He wrote alongside the picture: “4th day of with the only a few weeks away from the shows.”
The band are performing two shows at the end of November in London – Koko, Camden on the 26th and Electric in Brixton on the 27th.
Marcel's brags about the squad kept Love Island viewers amused over the summer - and did wonders to raise the group's profile, boosting their online music streams by a whopping 2,500 per cent.
The group found fame back in 2002 with their song Crossroads and had seven Top 10 hits before going on hiatus.
At the shows, he will perform his solo single, Someone, as well as original Blazin' Squad classics.
The musician is also releasing his own book, Dr Marcel's Little Book Of Love, filled with advice and tips about romance and relationships.
As well as this he helped launch a clothing line bearing his catchphrases from the ITV2 show – including “Paging Dr Marcel” and the Squad lyrics “See you at the Crossroads”.
Meanwhile, The Sun Online has exclusively revealed that Marcel's relationship with Love Island girlfriend Gabby Allen, 25, has been going from strength to strength since they left the villa.
A source exclusively told us: "Marcel has asked Gabby to move in with him and this will be happening early September once Gabby has undertaken the notice on her current apartment."
Gabby also revealed that marriage could be on the cards for the pair.
The fitness fanatic told The Sun Online: "If Marcel was to propose to me I'd say yes but for us it's all about pace and there isn't any rush for us right now but he said that he's saving for a ring.
"That'd be nice, I've never been proposed to before so I hope he's going to pull something out of the bag.
They finished in fourth place on the last series of Love Island.
