Usually, on , we'd leave the expert advice to Katie Thistleton and Dr Radha, but this week, she's got company.

For this week's love and relationships special, they'll be joined by Marcel from Love Island, a man who knows a thing or two about romance, as million of TV viewers know.

Getting expert advice is always important, but sometimes turning to someone who knows what you're going through can work just as well.

So who do A-list pop stars turn to when they need a little bit of love advice? Each other of course!

If you were a fan of Blazin' Squad in the early 00s, you might know him as Rocky B but for most people, Marcel Somerville is best known as one of the finalists from the 2017 series of Love Island.

The musician almost made it to the final hurdle on the romantic reality show, but was sadly dumped on his 25th day on the island. He picked up a lot of fans during his time on the show, however, and was of the series' most popular contestants.

Aside from music and dating people on television, Marcel has now turned his hand to self-help and a new literary career, with a book called Dr Marcel's Little Book of Big Love . He's not a real doctor, but he's a good shout for a celeb to turn to if you're in need of help with your love life.

Knowledge comes from experience, so when it comes to relationship advice we kinda wish we had Taylor Swift's number in our phone.

We don't have Taylor saved to our contacts but Camila Cabello does. She's admitted that she has turned to Taylor when she has needed some help with her relationships.

"We talk about love a lot," Camila told The Sun newspaper in 2017.

"If I ever have any questions about love or if there’s anything that I’m going through at the time, whether it’s with a boy or with a friend, she’s a very good person to ask those kind of questions."

She says Taylor is "very knowledgeable about that stuff," and having dated Harry Styles, Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston (among others), she has plenty of experience of broken hearts to share with her mates.

Everyone needs good friends to turn to when they need relationship advice, even Taylor Swift. She says that Ed Sheeran once gave her a valuable lesson in love and how to know when you've found the right person.

"Ed said something that really resonated with me," Swift told InStyle magazine in 2015.

"He says there are different kinds of love: There's physical attraction, mental attraction, and emotional attraction; there's also comfort and obsession.

You need to have all of those things in one person. You have to mentally respect them, be physically attracted, and have a comfort level.

"You're obsessed with them, yet you also know they're going to stay."

Katy Perry has had several high profile relationships (oh hi there John Mayer, Russell Brand and Orlando Bloom) and like many other people, sometimes feels the urge to slide back into their DMs when she's feeling low.

"I’ve been in that cycle before in a relationship and it had kind of reignited the relationship," she told US radio host Delilah Rene earlier this year.

"There’s only so many times you can reignite the relationship or want to or should and sometimes you just need to write it and never send it.

"I like drafting and then sleeping on it because, for me, my emotions get very heightened in the evening.

"Then in the morning when I wake up I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m so glad I didn’t send that! I can get through another day without this situation.'”

She believes so wholeheartedly in this method she even wrote a song, Save As Draft, for her most recent album Witness.

We just wish we had the same level of restraint.

The Little Mix girls are proper friendship goals, so when Perrie Edwards split from Zayn Malik, she had advice and support on hand from her three BFFs.

"They’re the most incredibly supportive girls and I’m very grateful to have them," she told Fabulous magazine in 2015.

"I learn new things every day, but I’ve learnt that no matter what life throws at you, you take it day by day.

"My bond with Jade, Jesy and Leigh-Anne this year has become even stronger."

And LM have aso had a powerful impact on their fans, who have found strength in songs such as Shout Out To My Ex.

"I’m like an agony aunt. I feel amazing, I can’t get enough of it," Perrie Edwards told The Daily Star in 2016.

"So many people approach me at nightclubs saying, ‘You changed my life, I’ve never felt better’. Or, ‘I got dumped two weeks ago and your song makes me feel great’."

Nicki Minaj probably wins here, lets be honest. Imagine if Beyonce was your go-to mate for your relationship advice.

Nicki says she and rapper Meek Mill chatted with Beyonce and Jay Z about their relationship in 2015.

"We actually spoke with Jay Z and Beyoncé about it, too," Nicki told Billboard magazine.

"After our show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, we had dinner together," she said.

"They were so giving with advice. I love them so much. It was just a beautiful conversation to have with people we love and we look up to as a couple. They’re so strong."

Nicki didn't elaborate on what Bey and Jay told her, but whatever it was, it sadly wasn't enough to keep her relationship together. Nicki and Meek split in early 2017.
