Love Island contestant Gabby Allen proved she's no stranger to reality TV shows as she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house on Thursday night.

She followed fellow contestants Dan Osborne, Kirstie Alley and Ryan Thomas into the infamous bungalow.

Given her past TV experience, will she be looking for love in the CBB house?

Here's everything you need to know about Gabby Allen:

What is Gabby Allen famous for?

Gabby Allen shot to fame when she appeared on the 2017 series of Love Island.

She left the villa coupled up with Marcel Somerville, but the pair split up shortly afterwards when Marcel admitted cheating on her whilst on holiday.

Marcel's rep confirmed the split, saying: "Sadly the rumours are true, Gabby and Marcel have split up. Marcel can't really defend his actions as he knows he did wrong and will regret it forever."

Prior to Love Island, Gabby was a gym instructor and dancer.

What's her relationship to CBB contestant Dan Osborne?

There were raised eyebrows everywhere when it was revealed Gabby and Dan Osborne.

A month after Gabby and Marcel split, Marcel claimed that Gabby had cheated on him with Dan, who is married to Eastenders actress Jacqueline Jossa.

The pair greeted each other with a friendly kiss when they entered the CBB house, but the unspoken tension was very real.

When did Gabby enter the CBB house?

Gabby joined the CBB house on Thursday 17 August.

Before going into the house, she opened up to host Emma Willis about her turbulent love life.

"That [Marcel accusing her of cheating] was harder than my initial breakup because he tried to make me out as being as bad as he was."

She added: "But I've come out the other side and it's one of those things I've had to deal with.

"I'm a very positive person, I like to think. You only live once so go for the good life."
