Love Island star Marcel Somerville was reportedly held at knifepoint as he headed to a restaurant with his friend over the weekend.
The reality TV star, who recently announced that he is going to be a dad to a baby boy, was said to be left startled after four masked men on mopeds attacked his car with machetes.
A source close to Marcel said: “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.”

The insider continued telling OK! magazine: “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.”
The source continued to tell the publication that the masked attackers then drew their machetes and got off their mopeds.

They said: “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 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.
It’s not yet clear whether the attackers were trying to steal the expensive car Marcel was in, or get his Rolex watch.
