Marcel Somerville was in no rush to let anyone forget that he was once a member of Blazin’ Squad during his time in the ‘Love Island’ villa, but he’s now revealed he’s going it alone.
The music producer and DJ has announced that his first ever solo track, ‘Someone’, is coming, and fans won’t have long to wait to hear his debut offering.
‘Someone’, which was both written and produced by Marcel, is to be released this Friday (11 August), as revealed on his Twitter account.

After confirming a Blazin’ Squad reunion show in London later this year, Marcel revealed: “#Announcement No.2 I will be releasing my debut single ‘Someone’ this Friday on iTunes! Check out my Instagram tomorrow for an exclusive!”
And anyone who can’t face the next torturous 24 hours without hearing what Marcel has up his figurative musical sleeve, need lose no sleep as there’s also a preview coming soon on his Instagram page, where he also shared a handful of snaps from the studio session:
Marcel was a hit with ‘Love Island’ viewers throughout his time in the villa, in particular thanks to his blossoming romance with fellow Islander Gabrielle Allen.
Since leaving the show, the two are making a go of it on the outside, with Gabby sharing a loved-up Instagram update earlier this week.

It's not that people disliked Mark Wright when he signed up for 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', but it's fair to say that his 'TOWIE' past meant many assumptions had been made.
However, thanks to his honest, gusty and generally likable nature, Mark won over both his fellows campmates and viewers here in Blighty. (credit:ITV/REX/Shutterstock)

Ulrika wasn't a hit with her fellow housemates in 'Celebrity Big Brother', and received the most nominations in the 2009 series, but she still went on to win it, which was quite a feat considering she was still renowned for her affair with Sven Goran-Erikkson. (credit:Ian Gavan via Getty Images)

When Alex entered the 'CBB' house in 2010, he was met with a chorus of boos, which he responded to by saying: "This is why I'm here, to hopefully change these boos into cheers."
And change it, he did. Alex left the Borehamwood bungalow as the winner, and was met with huge cheers. (credit:Doug Peters/Doug Peters)

Jim's first attempt at reality TV didn't go well, and he was removed from 'Hell's Kitchen' in 2007 using homophobic language.
Fast forward to 2014 though, and you'll find the former 'Big Break' host leaving the 'Celebrity Big Brother' as winner. (credit:Dave Thompson/EMPICS Sport)

Back when Darren called the 'I'm A Celeb' camp home in 2002, it was virtually impossible to find his name printed without the words "love rat" printed next to it. However, after a stint with the creepy-crawlies, doing Bushtucker trials, the public were markedly kinder to the star. (credit:REX/Shutterstock)

Michael's reputation got a brief boost in 2006, when he was runner-up on 'CBB', five years after hitting headlines following the death of Stuart Lubbock, who was found in Michael's swimming pool after a party.
Sadly, it wasn't too last and the presenter failed to turn his newfound status into a new gig. (credit:Ian West/PA Archive)
