Love Island couples on the rocks: are Marcel and Gabby and Chris and Olivia about to split?

There’s trouble in paradise for some of our favourite couples
ITV

After a few weeks in the Love Island villa cracks are beginning to show in some of the contestants’ relationships.

Troubled times could be ahead for two of the show's favourite couples - Gabby and Marcel and Chris and Olivia – who have begun to have doubts.

Olivia and Chris could be heading for disaster after Olivia began to question whether her partner really "gets" her personality.

In scenes to air in Thursday's episode, Chris scolded Olivia for being loud when he was trying to go to bed, causing her to leave the room to go and sleep outside.

He followed her, leading to a row, with Olivia admitting she had concerns over their compatibility.

“I want to sleep out here. A lot of things are getting to me at the minute. You don’t get me and you never will get me and I’m trying to force something that is not there. We’re trying to make something work that really in real life wouldn’t work,” she said.

The pair failed to patch things up and continued to discuss the disagreement with the other islanders over the course of the day.

Eventually they got together for an emotional chat, with Chris breaking into tears as he revealed he feels he’s falling for Olivia.

She explained that she fears she’s "difficult to love" and is worried about developing feelings for someone who doesn’t accept her, saying:

“I feel like I’m difficult to love or like, so that’s why if I feel like I’m irritating you, I’d rather step aside because I don’t want to get hurt. I don’t want to get feelings for someone more than I already have who I annoy the hell out of.”

Meanwhile Gabby and Marcel’s romance was rocked when photos were found on Chris’ phone that showed Marcel with his hand on another girl’s knee.

The ex-Blazin’ Squad member denied any bad behaviour but was unimpressed by his partner’s jealousy.

He headed to the Beach Hut to express his frustration at the situation.

“I’m slightly annoyed by this whole situation that is going on today. Gabs is lovely, she’s so cool but I don’t know why the last few days she’s been a bit different. She’s not been chilled and relaxed,” he says.

Elsewhere Theo made a play for Montana and Tyla, sparking a row in the villa.

Love Island continues at 9pm tonight on ITV2.
