Now that there’s not only a brand new summer series of Love Island every year, but also All Stars in January, it’s harder than ever to keep up with all of the Islanders’ post-villa love lives.

However, someone who has caught our attention lately is winter Love Island 2023 fave Claudia Fogarty, who has recently announced she's expecting her first child with footballer boyfriend Olly Crankshaw.

Claudia, who let's be honest, was pretty unlucky in love in the villa – thanks, in part, to indecisive bombshell Casey O'Gorman - first started dating Olly in September 2023 and they've been going from strength to strength ever since.

Who is Claudia Fogarty's boyfriend?

Claudia's boyfriend is Olly Crankshaw, a 26-year-old professional footballer player who currently plies his trade for Altrincham.

When did Claudia Fogarty start dating Olly Crankshaw?

Claudia first teased her relationship with Olly in September 2023 when she shared a picture of them on a date night at fancy Manchester restaurant Australasia. Although she kept his face out of the picture and didn’t reveal the identity of her date (at the time), Olly could be seen in the background of her snap.

Claudia also suggested she was involved in a new romance when she posted a TikTik video about 'finding a new man' rather than 'getting back with your ex'. Ooop.

Another date night Instagram story soon followed when she shared a picture of her and her beau’s matching trainers during a cinema trip. Claudia also revealed his identity by tagging him in the post.

Predictably, a dramatic grid post/hard launch soon followed and fans flooded the comments section to point out his similarity to her villa ex, Casey.

One follower commented, 'YOU HAVE A TYPE,' while another fan wrote, 'PLS I SAW THIS AND 10000% THOUGHT IT WAS CASEY.'

A third commented, 'That looks like Casey.'

Speaking of Casey, he also took to the comments to show his support for Claudia's new relationship, writing, "❤️❤️❤️ !!!!!"
