Love Island 2023 ended nearly a month ago but since leaving the villa the contestants have continued to bring the action (sung in the tune of Scream & Shout by Will.I.Am and Britney Spears FYI).
From feuds and frenemies to drunken plane rides and new romances, the Love Island class of 2023 have created more drama on UK soil than they ever did during they battle with the winds of South Africa.
The latest drama to unfold involves Casey O'Gorman which let's be honest isn't all that surprising seeing as he did cause some serious tension during his Love Island stint #JusticeforCynthia.
But the Essex lads finds himself going head to head with his BFF Tom Clare's girlfriend Samie Elishi which is much more of a shock as Samie is an unproblematic queen.
Samie was enjoying a night out with some of her Love Island girlies including her partner in crime, Claudia Fogarty and bombshell Ellie Spence when the smirking face of Casey made an appearance.
Sharing a video on her Instagram Story, Samie can be seen enjoying a fancy drink (a lychee-based cocktail if her previous post was anything to go by) before scanning to Casey. The finalist captioned her story, “Casey has gate crashed our girls day 🙃” and as she turned to her fellow Islander he offered the ultimate screw face which caused Samie to declare him “RUDE.”
The video is all on jest but Casey did find himself in the bad books during his stay at Casa Amor after he kissed and was straddled by Cynthia Otseh Taiwo. After making up with Claudia, the romance was short-lived when Rosie Seabrook rocked up and turned Casey's head, leaving Claudia out in the cold.
Since then, they have both returned to England, Casey apparently 'ghosted,' Rosie and has been spending a hell of a lot of time with Claudia and rumours of a re-kindled romance follow them around like one of Will Young's lost little lambs.
At the end of March, Aussie Islander Aaron Waters posted a TikTok of himself and Casey acting as wine connoisseurs but fans were more focused on the distinctive Blackburn accent in the background of the video.
The northern voice of Claudia could be heard saying, "Don't let me in it, they'll get the wrong idea," and of course we flew to the comments section to see what the fans had to say.
"Claudia acting like her voice isnt more noticeable than any other part of her in the video 😂" and "Claudia wanted everyone to know she was there! She knows exactly what she’s doing 😂😂😂😂 legend!" were just some of Aaron's followers thoughts on her appearance.
Casey and Claudia are constantly adding fuel to the fire, Casey recently posted a picture of a headless Claudia on his Instagram story with the "👀" emoji.
How, we hear you ask, do we know it is Claudia in the photo when no face is evident? Well, the bombshell posted an outfit check on her own Instagram just an hour or so before which showcased the chic dove grey ensemble.
Not only that put those pastel painted nails you spy clutching the glass full of foliage also made an appearance on Claudia's Instagram a few weeks back when she cooed over her 'Easter' themed manicure.
Sherlock Holmes, who? More like She-lock Holmes...
We'll see ourselves out.
