Gabby Allen's mother has blasted Marcel Somerville.
Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville
The 'Love Island' couple split up in May after the Blazin' Squad singer admitted he'd slept with another woman while they were on holiday together in Mexico in February and Gabby's mother Paula is furious that Marcel later accused Gabby of cheating with Dan Osborne.
Speaking to OK magazine, she said: "Dan and Gabby are friends and their so-called romance was fabricated by Marcel to deflect from his betrayal.
"It's caused so much devastation to Jacqueline [Jossa - Dan's wife] and it's scarred Gabby's reputation, which I think is really unfair. She wouldn't cheat and she doesn't lie."
And she is furious with Marcel for trying to blame Gabby when he was actually guilty of cheating.
Paula said: "She was completely distraught and then when he accused of her cheating with Dan she was in complete disbelief.
"He tweeted it when he was out one night and then he was sending Gabby horrendous messages. Marcel's guilt was his problem, not hers."
Gabby and Dan have both denied becoming romantically involved after growing close during a fitness boot camp.
The pair are currently in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house and Gabby was recently quizzed about their relationship during a tense conversation with 'Bad Girls Club' Natalie Nunn.
Gabby insisted that she was never involved with married former 'TOWIE' star Dan and revealed she had spoken to his wife Jacqueline about the rumours.
When Natalie asked: "Why did someone tell me that you and Dan had f**ked?," Gabby blamed the rumours on her ex-boyfriend Marcel.
She said: "That was in the press because my ex-boyfriend said we did. Dan is married and has been ever since I met him and they were still together when I met him. He's just had a baby seven weeks ago. I spoke to his wife and everything. I said to her: 'I just want to let you know, nothing happened.'"
Late Dan asked Gabby if she had "clarified" to Natalie that nothing ever happened between them.
He said: "The conversation has ended. Yeah? Has it been clarified?"
