On Friday, Gabrielle performed on BBC's The Graham Norton Show - and as always, her right eye was covered.
The singer is known for always cleverly masking her eye with items like sunglasses, an eyepatch, a hat or her hair - but why does she do it?
Gabrielle was diagnosed with ptosis, a health condition that causes a droopy upper eyelid, as a child and underwent surgery which left her with a shortened eyelid. During her school years, Gabrielle battled depression and had suicidal thoughts.
In 2018, she confessed to The Guardian: "The idea of going out and showing my eye is like going out without my knickers on. It just wouldn't happen."
