Marcel and Gabby first met on the second series of the ITV2 dating show back in 2017, finishing as runners-up.
But fiery romance burned out for good in 2018 after fitness expert Gabby accused the Blazin’ Squad star of cheating on holiday.
The pair are now set to come face-to-face seven years on from their split as they return to the villa to find love a second time.
But Liberty – who dated Jake on the series seven in 2021, but split a week before the final – has insisted that the reunion could go badly wrong.
Liberty and Jake both returned for All Stars last year, but Jake shocked fans when he decided to leave the process.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Liberty said: “Gaby and Marcel could be a very similar situation to me and Jake.
“They’re both exes and I think they could either clear the page on the first day, fallout again or… shock try again.”
Marcel, who is still married to wife Rebecca Vieira, has come under fire for doing the show as a married man.
Speaking about Marcel’s situation, Liberty said: “I feel like when you’re older, you know what you want. Life gives you more life lessons and you know what you like and don’t like.
“He might be more decisive.
“It is Love Island and so we’ll probably see a few triangles. But at that time, you know what you like, you know what you stand for and you’ve got boundaries. I think we’re going to see a lot of straight-talking this series.”
Liberty went on: “They’ve got a lot of the OGs from the first series’, those are the people that made Love Island.
“I’m so excited to see them get another chance.
“I’m a fan of Gaby, I love her fitness and motivational videos. I really want her to find The One this time – I know she had a bit of a tricky situation, so I’m rooting for her.”
It comes after Love Island fans were left fuming as Marcel and Gaby prepare to reunite.
A source said at the time: “They had a row one night so Gabby went back to their hotel room to sleep.
“Marcel started chatting to another woman at the bar where they kissed in full view of other guests.
“He insisted that he was staying there for promotional purposes and that it was over between him and Gabby.”
Since then Marcel married Rebecca Vieira and had a son called Roman.
However, the relationship became strained early last year after Rebecca cheated with a US pop star.
Days later she admitted to her infidelity and issued a grovelling apology.
But it is now evident they were unable to work through their issues.
The former couple still aren’t divorced and some viewers believe it’s all a bit soon for Marcel to be looking for love again.
Meanwhile, Gabby had an ill-fated romance with Rak-Su star Myles Stephenson that was rocked once again by cheating accusations.
Jake’s shock exit
Jake and Liberty met during series seven of the dating show, but their romance came crashing down just days before the final.
At the same time, Liberty was making it clear she had no interest in Jake as she admitted having the hots for Mitch Taylor.
Jake and Liberty were amongst the first to enter the villa – leaving Liberty gobsmacked, and Jake shaking his head, saying “what are the chances?”.
He told the group there “was never any bad blood” between him and Liberty and added that there’s “probably a chat to be done”.
But after just three days, Jake sensationally quit All Stars.
