Love Island star 'gutted' as he confirms split weeks after leaving villa
Tom Clare has confirmed he and his Love Island girlfriend Samie Elishi have split following days of speculation.
The rugby star and Samie have been surrounded by claims that they had parted ways but the pair had remained tight-lipped on the rumours.
Tom and Samie placed third in the series which ended just over a month ago but have struggled to make their romance work outside of the villa.
The couple sparked split rumours earlier this month after being spotted on separate nights out.
London beauty Samie, 22, lived it up at a Pretty Little Thing bash with fellow Love Island stars and influencers, while Tom was nowhere to be seen.
