Marcel Somerville was reportedly attacked with a machete as gang after a gang attempted to steal car over the weekend.
The Love Island star is said to have been held at knife point as he headed out to a restaurant with his friend.
A source close to Marcel told OK! Magazine: “Marcel and his mate were driving around east London heading to their favourite restaurant and they noticed some people on mopeds getting close to them.”
“Each time they stopped at a set of traffic lights the mopeds would pull up next to them on either side of the car and just looked shady.”
“Then when Marcel and his friend pulled into a side street to park up they saw the mopeds head towards them again. Each moped had two people on and they kind of circled around the car.”
“As Marcel opened his car door, two of the gang got off the bikes and went for him with their machetes drawn swinging them at him. So he quickly closed the door and they locked the car from the inside,” the source continued.
“The attackers shouted again and again ‘get out the f**king car’ as they started hitting the windows of the motor.”
“Marcel and his mate sped off and headed away as fast as possible. It was a terrifying experience but nobody was hurt in the end and the car just had a few scratches on it.”
“After the attack Marcel headed straight home – he was understandably shaken by what happened so went to a local restaurant near his home instead which he could walk to.”
“The poor guy has had quite the year after being hospitalised and then finding out he’s having a baby,” the insider added.
Marcel announced last month that he was expecting his first child with his girlfriend Rebecca Vieria.
“It’s my first baby and I’ve been waiting a long time for this, so it’s just mad,” he told OK! Magazine at the time.
