Dan and Jacqueline share daughters Ella, 10, and Mia, six, and tied the knot in 2017.

However this isn't the first time the couple have experienced relationship woes, with infidelity rumours dogging their partnership for years.

In 2018 Dan was linked with Love Island star Gabby Allen after the two were pictured on a yacht together. Speculation regarding their friendship gained further interest when the pair took part in Celebrity Big Brother that same year.

Whilst neither Dan nor Gabby revealed what went on between the two of them, the Love Island All Stars winner did comment on their connection in 2025.

Gabby told The Sun: "That literally hasn't crossed my mind for years.

"I feel like I'm so far removed from that situation now, that I don't know, it's mad that people would like even bring it up but I suppose people are interested in that aren't they?

"I mean me and Dan were just mates, but we weren't that good mates to like warrant continuing a friendship."

Gabby continued: "It's like that was a long time ago and we knew each other for a very short amount of time and that was it.

"I just hope that, like, that doesn't cause issues for, like, them because it was a very long time and I feel like everybody's moved on and I hope they're really happy."
