Gabrielle's positive result comes as two other MAFS stars, in Bryce and Melissa, shared their relief at testing negative after attending the now highly publicised Team Ellis boxing event in Melbourne last week.

The couple, whose sons Levi and Tate were born 10 weeks premature in October, received a fair bit of backlash for going to the star-studded event - which resulted in Bryce getting involved in a physical altercation with his former MAFS rival, Sam Carraro.

And since then, The Block's Josh Packham revealed he caught Covid after attending the same event.

Bryce revealed on Wednesday the couple had decided to get tested after learning of Josh's positive result.

"No covid for us," they included in the caption.

Bryce added in the photo that the pair had visited the local supermarket, a café and a chemist since attending the boxing match and wanted to be safe.
