ALL Stars beauty Grace Jackson has revealed why she and football ace Marcus Rashford called it quits.
The Mancunian model, 26, broke her silence on their fling during a chat in the villa on tonight's episode of Love Island.
Grace enjoyed a string of dates with the Prem Ace last year
Grace returned to the villa as an All Star bombshell this week
Grace enjoyed a string of dates the Premier League footballer in 2024, with the pair spotted hanging out in the Cheshire area.
In late December, however, Grace ended things and and unfollowed him online, with insiders revealing she felt Marcus wasn't "serious about her".
Now Grace has spoken about their romance for the first time.
Speaking to fellow islander Olivia Hawkins in scenes that aired this evening, Grace was quizzed on her outings with the sports star.
Liv asked her: "What have you done since the show? Have you been dating anyone?"
Grace responded: "Babe, literally no one."
Refusing to be fobbed off, Liv probed: "No footballers? Marcus Rashford?"
Grace then admitted they were involved, saying: "No we were out in a group having food... we weren't dating but we was chatting a little and texting."
She went on to accuse Manchester United fans of playing a role in the blossoming romance's early demise.
Grace explained: "It’s difficult because he can't go out and just go on a normal date. All these f*****g United fans were like commenting, thousands of comments on my pictures like, 'cause they loved me. When the article came out he scored two goals and he hadn't scored for like ages, so they said 'You fixed him!'"
Liv then remarked: "Oh really so it was like the Grace effect!"
Grace then added how reports of their dates surfacing in the press affected things.
She said: "If it would have been a bit different, because he couldn’t really date so he’d be like 'I wanna see you, just come to mine and chill with me' but I’m like, 'I don’t really wanna…."
Liv and fellow All Star Catherine Agbaje chipped in: "So he really liked you?"
"I think he did," Grace replied. "I think it went a bit weird when all the articles were coming out but I've known his brother since I was like 17 so then he was like 'na don't worry about it, he knows it's not you' but it just changed the vibe a bit cause everyone knew and there wasn’t anything to know."
Grace is currently coupled up with Luca Bish in the villa, after stealing him from Kaz Crossley not long after entering for a second time.
Her first stint in the villa last summer also saw her arrive as a bombshell, and it was revealed she had a history with Joey Essex.
The pair had previously had a holiday fling, and soon things were back on with them as Joey ditched Samantha Kenny to reunite with Grace.
But their reunion was short-lived as he soon had his head turned by Jessy Potts.
The pair made it to the final week, but were sent packing the night before the final.
Joey and Jessy split a few weeks later.
Meanwhile Grace paired up with Reuben Collins in the villa but their romance didn't last on the outside world either.
They appear to be on good terms, however, with Reuben commenting on the show's instagram when Grace was announced as a returning All Star.
"Now that’s a bombshell!!" he wrote, with fans branding him a 'supportive king' for having Grace's back.
