Love Island star dumps football ace boyfriend as she gears up for All Stars series
The second series of Love Island All Stars is on the horizon, and it’s been reported Grace Jackson is the latest sign up, as she ‘dumps’ footballer boyfriend Marcus Rashford. Last month, it was reported that the pair had been going on a number of dates, however it looks like it may now all be over, as Grace unfollows the Manchester United star on Instagram.
“Grace realised that Marcus wasn’t serious about her and has unfollowed him on Instagram,” a source told The Sun. “She realised there was no future so she has decided to cut ties,” they continued. The source then claimed that Grace ‘jumped at the chance’ when an opportunity arose for her to take part in ITV’s Love Island All Stars this winter.
“She is still young in her career and is keen to maximise the exposure to help with her modelling work and net campaign deals,” the source said. They added that it would be a ‘bonus’ if she found love on the show, especially after not finding a suitable match in the summer series. The source then concluded by saying Grace is "putting her best foot forward" and is excited for some winter son in January. OK! has contacted Grace and Marcus' representatives for comment.

ITV are not commenting on any rumoured Islanders until the official line-up is announced, as a spokesperson said: “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”
Grace’s popularity soared when she arrived as a bombshell in the most recent series of the show, and now boasts over 600k followers on Twitter. When she first arrived in the villa, she struck up a strong connection with former TOWIE star Joey Essex straight away, as the two rekindled their relationship from when they had previously met on holiday in Ibiza.
However, things went downhill for the pair after the arrival of Jessy Potts who charmed Joey as soon as she entered, taking him on a first date. The pair’s romance blossomed from there, although they called it quits shortly after leaving the villa.
After her romance with Joey came to an abrupt end, Grace then struck up a relationship with bombshell Reuben. The two were brutally dumped at the end of a game just days before the final, when they were voted ‘least likely to last on the outside’ by the public. It seems the public weren’t wrong as the pair mutually decided to end their relationship in August, just months after coming out of the show.
