Love Island champions Molly Smith and Tom Clare have admitted how they really feel about Callum Jones.

Molly, 29, was in a relationship with Callum, 27, for three years after meeting the former scaffolder on the winter edition of the ITV2 dating show, before calling it quits last year. However, the influencer, who was initially coupled with Callum on All Stars before she moved onto Tom, says there's no bad blood between them - despite being together 24/7 for the last month.

Opening up about how the most challenging part of the sun-kissed series in South Africa, Molly said: "Walking in and seeing the back of my ex’s head and living with him 24/7." However, she then said things began to get easier, explaining: "At first it was weird and awkward, but then towards the end it was fine. We actually get on really well and Tom gets on with him which is great.” Tom added: “In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t get on with him but me and Cal do get on. I think he’s a good lad. Do you know what I think it makes Mol more attractive that she can get on with Callum."

Some fans hoped that Molly and Callum would get back together while in the villa again. However, the influencer, who came in as a bombshell when she was last on Love Island, appeared to dismiss the possibility while speaking to her pal Sophie when the gang received a call from home.

Discussing Tom, Sophie said: "I think he's really nice. He's proper like giving you reassurance. I feel like a lot of the side of Callum that he didn't do, Tom has made up for." Molly agreed, saying: "It's someone that kind of like is doing the things that I've wanted from someone."

Asked if the "chapter is fully closed" with her ex, she confirmed: "Yeah. I think obviously it's nice to see him so happy and I'm obviously happy with Tom. [...] I don't think we would ever have got to this point if we didn't come in here."

When asked about their future plans, Tom and Molly confirmed they would be seeing lots more of each other. After Tom told his beau he could "genuinely see you being my girlfriend", Molly said: “Tom is coming to Manchester. I can’t wait to go on normal dates and get back to reality.”

‌While Tom revealed: “I am moving back up North to be closer to my family, get back to football and hopefully back to Macclesfield F.C, if they will have me back.”

Callum, meanwhile, left the villa with Jess Gale, with ITV confirming the couple only missed out on winning the series - and a whopping £50,000- by a tiny two percent!
