Love Island star Gabby Allen is set to make waves as she is thought ‘to be returning for ITV’s All Stars series’ – a move that could reignite past tensions with Jacqueline Jossa and her husband, Dan Osborne.
Gabby, 32, rose to fame in 2017 when she came fourth alongside Blazin’ Squad’s Marcel Somerville on the reality dating show.
However, a year later, she hit headlines after being linked to Dan, 33, following pictures of the pair getting close on a yacht in Marbella.
The alleged flirtation caused a rift between Dan and Jacqueline, with the EastEnders actress briefly leaving him after discovering a flirty message he’d sent to Gabby.
Although Gabby and Dan have both denied any wrongdoing, the incident saw Gabby labeled ‘the other woman’ – a tag that Jacqueline, 32, struggled with at the time.
The couple eventually reconciled and are now raising their daughters Ella, nine, and Mia, five, alongside Dan’s son Teddy, ten, from a previous relationship.

Gabby’s return to the screen, however, could dredge up old memories. A source revealed to The Sun: ‘Gabby being back in the spotlight is the last thing Jac and Dan need and will no doubt bring back memories for Jac.
‘Gabby did not reply to the message, but has been seen as ‘the other woman.’
An ITV spokesperson played it coy, stating: ‘Any names suggested are speculation until our official line-up is announced.’
The All Stars series, filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, sees previous contestants from across the show’s series mixed together in a bid to give them a second chance at love.
It comes as Olivia Hawkins is supposedly amongst the star-studded lineup of former Islanders set to fly out to South Africa next week.
The fan-favourite Love Island villain was a contestant in the 2023 winter series, where she brought drama to the villa and came to blows with several cast mates.
A source told The Sun: ‘Olivia is really excited to be returning to South Africa and continuing her Love Island journey.
‘She feels like she’s got lots to offer still and would love to meet someone. She’s adored the limelight since she first came out of the villa, but would like to find romance.’

MailOnline has contacted Olivia’s representatives and ITV for comment.
Olivia previously said that she had received a torrent of online abuse and even death threats when she was dumped from the villa.
She came under fire during her time on the show with viewers claiming ‘the witch is finally gone’ after she was voted out.
Olivia was also branded the ‘villa schemer’ during drama filled scenes as she clashed with fellow contestants.
During her time on the show, Olivia feuded with Zara Lackenby-Brown, and Tanyel Raven.
She also fell out with Sanam Harrinanan after she coupled up with Kai Fagan in Casa Amor – despite Olivia also recoupling.
The brunette left the show paired up with Maxwell Samuda but they split shortly after filming wrapped.
In the second All Stars series, legendary Islanders from former seasons will each attempt to find love once again as they crack on in a bid to couple up and avoid being dumped from the Island.

Others rumoured to be joining the lineup include Ekin-Su Culculoglu, and Curtis Pritchard.
Ella Thomas has also dropped a huge hint that she could be reentering the Love Island villa for the ITV spin off with a series of saucy snaps posted to Instagram on Friday.
The former Islander, who appeared in series 10 in 2023, has revealed a major clue that she could be heading to the glitzy housing in South Africa.
She teased fans that she may be appearing on the show as she took a trip out to Cape Town at the beginning of January, where the show is filmed.
Sharing an album of sunny holiday snaps to her Instagram, Ella told followers: ‘out of office’.
In one snap Ella relaxed and soaked up the sun on a lounger while wearing a red gingham check co-ord.
If Ella does enter the villa, she could come face-to-face with her former show ex. Tyrique Hyde.
The couple met during the 2023 series and was heavily tested with some dramatic ups and downs.
They blissfully exited the villa together, with their relationship appearing to be stronger than ever.
Shortly after leaving the villa, the couple announced they’d split in November 2023, before trying to give it another go.
But earlier this year Ella and Tyrique hinted that they are back together.
The TV stars first found fame when they coupled up together on the ITV2 reality dating show, but split towards the end of last year.
The pair got back together shortly after but were in ‘crisis talks’ in February after calling it all off again, but both of them now seem to have hinted that a reconciliation has taken place.

Ella jetted off to LA last month and was soon joined by Tyrique. He posted a photo from the Rolling Loud festival in California and captioned: ‘Godspeed’.
Meanwhile Ella also took to her Instagram and shard a snap of herself wearing a suede miniskirt with ‘Godspeed’ written across the back. The pair later dined at the same restaurant posting similar pictures to their Instagram stories.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Ella and Tyrique have decided it’s time to go their separate ways.
‘They have such love for each other, but they often struggle to get along and as viewers saw in the villa, they’re always arguing.
Love Island All Stars will begin on January 13 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
