Marcus Rashford’s Love Islander girlfriend has dumped him — ahead of her speedy return to the villa in the new year.
The Sun on Sunday last month revealed the Manchester United star, 25, had gone on dates with Grace Jackson, also 25, who was on this year’s series of the ITV show, The Sun reports.

But the relationship between the pair has since come to an end with the star, who earns $A653,000 per week, being dumped and unfollowed on social media.
“Grace realised that Marcus wasn’t serious about her and has unfollowed him on Instagram,” a source revealed.
“She realised there was no future so she has decided to cut ties.
“When the opportunity arose to take part in Love Island All Stars this winter Grace jumped at the chance, she is still young in her career and is keen to maximise the exposure to help with her modelling work and net campaign deals.
“If she finds love on the show that’s a bonus, especially since she didn’t meet a suitable match in the summer.
“As far as she is concerned it’s Marcus’ loss, she is putting her best foot forward and can’t wait to enjoy some winter sun in gloomy January.”
Marcus had previously been in a long-term relationship with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi before they split last year.
In August, former shop worker Grace, who has amassed 604,000 followers on Instagram since leaving the villa, landed a six-figure deal with fashion and shoe brand EGO.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”
Marcus, who has won 60 senior international caps for England, was dropped from the Manchester derby facing bitter rivals Manchester City last weekend and hinted last week that he is ready to leave Old Trafford.
Speaking at a visit to his old primary school, Button Lane, in Manchester, to hand out Christmas presents, he said: “I think I’m ready for a new challenge.”
Rashford put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the club in 2023 which locked him in until 2028. But with his form dropping this season, the club could look to move him on.
The contract currently sees Rashford earn $A653,00 per week and $33.9m per year, according to the BBC.
