The Grace Jackson and Marcus Rashford relationship failed to blossom owing to the involvement of Man United fans, the Love Island star has revealed.
Grace made the revelation on the latest edition of the All Stars show when quizzed by friend and fellow contestant Olivia Hawkins.
The blonde beauty had reportedly enjoyed a string of dates with the Premier League star at the end of 2024. Her and Rashford were often seen hanging out in some of Cheshire’s swanky bars and restaraunts.
Grace also confessed that she believed the 27-year-old star genuinely had strong feelings for her. However, the involvement of the press didn’t help matters.
Grace Jackson And Marcus Rashford Relationship
Whilst talking to Grace about her recent dating history, Olivia asked: “What have you done since the show? Have you been dating anyone?”
The Mancunian model replied: “Babe, literally no one.”
Unsure whether to accept that answer, Olivia pressed Grace again and even dropped in the Red Devils academy graduate’s name.
“No footballers? Marcus Rashford?”
That is when Grace fessed up that she had been seeing the £300,000-a-week winger. She explained: “No we were out in a group having food… we weren’t dating but we was chatting a little and texting.”
From there, Grace would drop the bombshell that she felt Man United supporters were the cause of the blossoming relationship hitting a snag.
“It’s difficult because he can’t go out and just go on a normal date. All these f*****g United fans were like commenting, thousands of comments on my pictures like, ’cause they loved me.
“When the article came out he scored two goals and he hadn’t scored for like ages, so they said ‘You fixed him!'”
Grace would then go on to explain how Rashford wanted to simply hang out with her.
“If it would have been a bit different, because he couldn’t really date so he’d be like ‘I wanna see you, just come to mine and chill with me’ but I’m like, ‘I don’t really wanna….”
