The soap star has had a busy year filming for the hit show, as well as completing his English Literature and Drama degree at the University of Manchester.
Yesterday he took to Instagram to tell his 14.7k followers the exciting news that he’s officially finished with education.
But in the next slide he dropped the bombshell that he’s not going to hit the town just yet.
He told fans: “But my younger brother has covid, and I’m in a 10 day isolation.”
Gabriel continued: “Celebrate good times? In isolation :///.”
He later took to his Instagram Story again to tell his fans about the dilemma.
“After years of wondering what this day would be like… waiting to be free after sitting at my desk for months and months.
“I’m sat at my desk and stuck inside for 10 days…”
Gabriel finished the footage with a sarcastic thumbs up to the camera.
The actor is currently on a short break from filming Hollyoaks as his alter-ego is in rehab recovering from his drug addiction.
He recently teased that he could be coming back very soon.
Gabriel told Metro: “I can say that the next time you see Ollie after this week you’re definitely in for a surprise!
“I would really like to explore Ollie’s love life and also explore what direction he wants to take his future in.”
The former Corrie star joined the soap as Luke Morgan’s son and made his debut in December 2020.
He replaced Aedan Duckworth in the role after he left the soap suddenly earlier last year.
Before joining the programme, Gabriel said: “I’m so excited to join the cast of Hollyoaks.

“Two years ago, I was part of the Buster storyline, so to finally be here, playing a lead role in Hollyoaks, it is very surreal.
“When I was younger, I did a few CBBC shows, but mainly theatre.”
Gabriel is not only an actor and full-time student, but has also worked as a naked model too.
