A Love Island star who dated Marcus Rashford has revealed why she stop seeing the Manchester United star after returning to the ITV reality show.
Rashford, who is out of favour at boyhood club United under new boss Ruben Amorim, was reportedly seeing Grace Jackson at the end of 2024.
It was reported that the pair had been on a number of dates but things fizzled out as the model has recently turned up in the Love Island villa once again as a bombshell.
She was a contestant on the eleventh edition but has returned on the day eight of the All Stars and is currently coupled up with Luca Bish.

But fellow contestant Olivia Hawkins was aware of links to Rashford and asked her about it on the show.
"No we were out in a group having food... we weren't dating but we was chatting a little and texting," Grace said.
She then said because of his status as one of the most famous footballers in England, it means it is "difficult because he can't go out and just go on a normal date."
And on top of that, she began to be bombarded with comments on her Instagram from United supporters who were praising her for a brief return to form at the start of Amorim's reign.
Grace explained: "All these f****** 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!'."
Further detailing why things didn't quite progress, Grace added: "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…"
"I think it went a bit weird when all the articles were coming out. 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'."
"It just changed the vibe a bit cause everyone knew and there wasn’t anything to know."
