We're convinced that the Love Island producers have Casey O'Gorman on their January payroll because how is this his THIRD time in the South African villa?

He was on the winter 2023 series, All Stars 2024 and three time's a hat trick - he returned for All Stars 2025.

We practically know everything about him - he's obsessed with BFF Tom Clare, doesn't mind wearing a leather vest and he ruffled Kaz Crossley's feathers as soon as he walked in.

However this time round he's seems totally loved up with Gabby Allen and it turns out that his pal Olivia Hawkins has seen a complete 'different' side to him in the villa.

When we caught up with Olivia and Marcel Somerville at heat's Towers we just had to ask about their thoughts on Casey and Gabby - especially considering Marcel used to date her.

'So to be fair, I’m actually really happy that Gabby and Casey are together,' Marcel exclusively told us.

'I knew Casey before All Stars. He’s a good guy so I know he’s got good morals.

'So I’m hoping him and Gabby really work it out because they deserve happiness.'

Olivia went on to say, 'Yeah, I want Casey to find a girlfriend. I think round four [on All Stars]… Time’s up now.

'Hopefully, fingers crossed it works out for them. They looked really cute in the Hideaway together.'

After Marcel agreed, Olivia added, 'I’m seeing a different side of Casey with Gabby.'

And Marcel - who originally appeared on Love Island 2017 - reckons he knows why.

'It’s his first time doing the show from the start like an early position so maybe that’s helped him build that relationship, build that development so they can keep it for the long term.'

During Casey's first stint in the villa he arrived on day 17 and while he appeared to hit it off with Claudia Fogarty, he stunned everyone when he recoupled with Rosie Seabrook shortly after Casa Amor.

THEN he returned for the first series of All Stars on day 16 - again as a bombshell - and didn't have much luck, despite being coupled up with Eve Gale.

You know what they say though, third time's a charm and all that...
