It seems like a lifetime ago now but remember when Love Island producers left us all gagged in the first episode of All Stars when they sent in exes Molly Smith and Callum Jones as the first bombshells? The drama of it all.
A lot has happened since then, with Molly currently coupled up with footballer fittie Tom Clare and Callum romancing Jess Gale, but fans are still rooting for the former flames to rekindle their three-and-a-half-year relationship inside the villa.
Sadly, there are just days to go until the final and it doesn’t look the reunion we’re all hoping for is going to happen any time soon. Especially if dumped Islander Joe Garratt’s comments are anything to go by…
The dumped bombshell recently stopped by heat Towers for a chinwag with our Harriet Rose on heat’s Under the Duvet podcast and he spoke out about the dynamic between Molly and Callum in the villa.
Joe admitted that he had no idea that fans wanted them to get back together as he explained, “Honestly, from in there I didn’t know this. Obviously as I’ve come out, I did a Q&A on Snapchat and literally everybody was asking, ‘Is Callum and Molly going to get back together?’
“I was so shocked. I did not think that was even a thing. It’s so weird. I didn’t think about it until I came out and now I’m on the outside reading everyone’s comments, I’m like, ‘Yeah, why not?’”
But while Joe is here for a Molly and Callum reunion just as much as the rest of us, he delivered some bad news for all the fans shipping them.
“We love a love story, right? We’d love to see them rekindle, I get it. My personal opinion, I don’t think it’s going to happen from what I’ve seen on the inside,” Joe said.
“After six months you either love the person or you hate them. The emotions are still so raw.”
He did, however, deliver a glimmer of hope when he added, “Didn’t she want to get back with him at the start? I don’t think feelings dwindle that quickly.”
It remains to be seen whether Molly and Callum will ever manage to reignite their flame and while we’d love to see it, we’re certainly not holding our breath…
