Love Island’s Tom Clare reveals relationship status of Casey and Claudia after ‘date’
LOVE Island fans have gone wild after Claudia Forgarty and Casey O’Gorman hinted that they were back together.
The pair tongues wagging after enjoying cosy outings together and teasing that they were on a “date” earlier this week.
But co-star Tom Clare, 23, has set the record straight and burst the bubble for many hopeful fans hoping to see the pair romantically reunite.
Tom spilled the beans and confirmed that they’re definitely not an item and are just friends.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Tom said about Casey and Claudia’s reunion: “They’re just such good friends and I think because me and Samie are together and what happened with them in the villa, there is no awkwardness, they just get on so well.
“I know you see stuff, like they’re pictured together but they just get on so well as friends which is nice.
“It’s great to still have that friendship with them as well.”
“Since coming out of the villa, they were a couple in the villa they got on so well but they’re both adults and can both make their own decision.
“We can go out as a four as friends anyway, so to us nothing ever changed.”
Tom said that Casey, 26, and former flame Rosie Seabrook are also on good terms, saying there is “no bad blood” between them, despite Rosie insisting that Casey ignored her after the villa and failed to make an effort.
Tom said: “Being in the villa things were heightened in there, since coming out there is a lot of pressure on people to stay together, but I know there is no bad blood between Rosie and Casey. They’re just good friends as well.”
It comes after Claudia posed up a storm in the sexy ensemble and captioned the post “date night”.
It immediately caught the attention of her ex-love interest Casey, promoting him to write: “Am I meeting you there?”
This sent Love Island fans into meltdown, with many saying they’d love to see a romantic reunion between the pair.
One wrote: “You two were great together. It makes sense to me. Keep grafting Casey.”
Another posted: “Casey I can’t understand why you let her go!!! She’s beautiful inside & out.”
“Convinced they’re 100 per cent back together,” a third commented.
They also sparked rumours they were back together as they cuddled up on a double date.
Despite going their separate ways while on this year’s Love Island, rumours began to swirl after their co-stars Tom Clare and Samie Elishi hinted at a romantic reunion between them.
The pair looked very cosy as they joined their pals Samie and Tom on a night out earlier this month.
