Previously, we were first to report how Arabella was left heartbroken when the Manchester City star, 26, gave her the boot after they returned from a New Year getaway.

The pair had been dating since September, with the matchmaking show alumni jetting from her Ibiza home to Manchester to spend time with the Portuguese defender.

The duo quietly dated for weeks under the radar, before eagle-eyed fans spotted them sharing similar posts of the Eiffel Tower in November.

A source told us at the time: “They went to Paris for their first romantic mini-break, where he wined and dined her at all the best restaurants. He also showered her with gifts."

Arabella starred on Love Island's 2019 series.

Yet she has since left All Stars fans confused after claiming she didn't know Chris Taylor - despite previously sharing a villa with him.

Ahead of her major decision in the coupling-up ceremony, fans have insisted they know who the stunning model will choose first.

They told of their concern she will make a play for Callum Jones, leaving his ex Molly Smith heartbroken.

Yet others were left in shock at her "rank" sex confession.

The blonde model giggled as she admitted to enjoying a romp with Toby Aromolaran, 24, last year.

Arabella is 32 and Toby is 24 and one fan noted on X: "How is Toby messing around with Arabella . He is 24 and she’s 32 that’s a huge age gap . Also what do they see in him?"

Another quizzed: "Toby and Arabellas age gap???" as a third noted: "The age gap is something."
