The Love Island All Stars singletons are settling into their villa after arriving on Monday 13 January, but fans of the show are not impressed by the age of some of the contestants taking part.
While some of the Love Island stars are in their twenties, including 24 year old Catherine Agbaje, Luca Bish, 25, and Curtis Pritchard, 28, fans have said that older stars are “embarrassing” for being on the show. Marcel Somerville is the oldest at 39, while Scott Thomas is 36, India Reynolds is 34, and both Elma Pazar and Gabby Allen are 32.
“Any of the past islanders over the age of at least 33 should have some respect for themselves and not go on, that's a lil embarrassing sorry,” wrote one viewer, while a second said: “Marcel whose 39 married and going into the villa, not a good look ITV”. A third commented: “Nah, there really should be an age limit for Love Island... why are you doing this again at your big age?” while a fourth added: 'I know Love Island may not have an age limit but if you're touching 40....'. Another fan wrote: "Why are they letting a 50 year old into the villa. I don't want to see that!"

You shouldn’t be coupling up every night on television you should be investing in your pension oh my GOD,” and another commenting “I don’t want this senior citizen near Catherine.” One viewer explained: “This man is a whole 39 years old (thirty nine) with a whole child and whole WIFE that he hasn’t divorced going on love island btw,” as another fan agreed: “Marcel back on love island while still being LEGALLY married is crazy.”
Marcel, who first appeared on Love Island in 2017, admitted on All Stars that he is still married to his wife Rebecca Viera, with whom he shares three year old son Roman. The couple are currently finalising their divorce
Earlier this week he told The Mirror of Rebecca’s reaction to his news that he would be entering the Love Island All Stars villa. “I had to tell Rebecca that I wasn’t going to be around for a few weeks," he reveals. "She said: ‘I can't believe this. I can't believe this is happening.’"

It’s got to get to a point where we have to start moving forward and living our lives separately,” he continued. "For Rebecca Love Island was a shock. She wasn't expecting it to happen, but she’s become accepting of the situation because she made a mistake. I can’t put my life on hold when opportunities like this come up.”
While it remains to be seen what the other Islanders will think of Marcel's advanced years, fans also pointed out the age difference amongst the contestants was not only odd for potential romantic relationships, but also for friendships between the Islanders. “'The age gaps are kinds crazy in terms of friendships cos how are Catherine who is 24 meant to be besties with 34 year old India?” said one.
