It looks like things are getting awkward between Love Island's Samie Elishi and Tom Clare following rumours that he's moved on.

Now, because we've had two seasons of Love Island this year we sometimes forget about the babes of the winter version.

No shade as they were a lovely bunch but the winning couple of that particular series was the always adorable and equally unproblematic Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinnan.

When you compare them to the chaotic duo that won the summer Love Island 2023 series, Sammy Root and Jess Harding, who argued their way through the series and have now split, Kai and Sanam are a dreamy wholesome duo.

Out of the final four couples from the winter series, Kai and Sanam are still together and going strong and, to everybody's surprise, so are Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad.

One couple who made it to the final four and proceeded to have an on/off romance once they left the villa was Tom and Samie but it seems that they are very much at the 'off' stage following Samie's latest TikTok actions.

Tom's ex, Samie recently posted a TikTok featuring fellow Islander Ellie Spence where she ranted about a certain someone. The former Islander lip-synced to a soundbite which was filled with every single curse word under the sun.

“I could’ve been a f**ked up a** b**ch to people. I said nothing. He was hurting inside because he s***ted on me and finally got s***ted on. Imagine that.”

A fan commented on the TikTok "Tom has a new girlfriend now, she’s called Paula Wilks she’s an insta model they were out together today" to which Samie replied, "Thanks hun x"

We love an unbothered babe.

Turns out that though Tom isn't dating Paula Wilk, so maybe Samie and Ellie were just loving the Nicki Minaj viral TikTok quote?

Either way, is it just us or does Paula not look EXACTLY like Aussie bombshell Jessie Wynter?

The bright baby blues, the golden tan, the straight brunette locks and they are obviously both drop dead gorgeous.

Tom and Jessie were never each other's type on the show; as soon as Jessie entered the South African villa she made a beeline for everyone's fave farmer, Will Young and they have been together ever since.

When they were on Love Island, Tom and Will were best pals, along with Casey O'Gorman and they even referred to themselves as the Three Musketeers.

But in the past few months they are very much NOT the Three Musketeers and don't even follow each other on social media anymore – and now Tom is rumoured to be dating someone who looks like Will's girlfriend. Can someone say awkward?
