A FORMER rapper and beloved member of a hit reality show will meet fans and sign copies of his new book.

On August 29 at 4.30pm Marcel Somerville will appear at Waterstones Broad Street.

Marcel first shot to fame as Rocky B, a member of notorious UK hip-hop group Blazin' Squad.

A career in production followed seven top ten hits and then, earlier this year, Marcel made Britain swoon when he appeared on ITV2's Love Island.

Now he has released 'Dr. Marcel's Little Book of Big Love: A Guide to a Successful Relationship' .

He said: "I've always been the one my friends would go to for romantic advice, so being able to be a guru to the nation is an exciting prospect.

"Dr Marcel's Little Book of Big Love is gonna share all my knowledge and all the things I learned during my Love Island experience."
