Gabby's Pal Tyne: ‘It's Natural For Her To Feel Attracted To Dan'

Gabby Allen’s pal Tyne Lexy reveals she’s not surprised the star feels comfortable with Dan Osborne and says she’s vulnerable post-split

All eyes were on Gabby Allen and Dan Osborne as CBB began last week after they sparked romance rumours earlier this year, which were later fuelled when the Love Island star’s ex, Marcel Somerville, accused the pair of having an affair – something they denied.

But just days into the show, Gabby, 26, was reduced to tears as tension continued to mount with housemate Natalie Nunn, 33, whom she branded a “bully”. And each time Dan, 27 – who is still married to estranged wife Jacqueline Jossa – comforted her, fans questioned if there was something going on between them.

Speaking before she entered CBB, Gabby ruled out a romance with Dan, saying, “I think he’s like a f***ing joker since he’s become single. I keep reading about him in the press. It’s like, mate, sort it out. He’s still married! Even if he wasn’t married, I wouldn’t go there.”

DOWN TO EARTH

Now Tyne Lexy, 21, who has been friends with Gabby since she was 13 and starred opposite her in Love Island last year – tells Closer, “Gabby is a fun, loving and kind girl – she’s thoughtful and down to earth, but also works really hard. Dan is a good friend to her and, ultimately, it’s natural for Gabby to be attracted to him as he’s someone she knew already and feels comfortable with.
