What happened when Tom Clare was on Love Island?
What didn't happen?
Living up to his playboy ways, early on Tom found himself caught up in love triangle with Olivia Hawkins and Zara Lackenby-Brown, with Zara even describing him as the "community penis". Iconic. Mean but iconic.
He also coupled up with Ellie Spence for a hot sec before Samie Elishi rocked up and well and truly turned his head. However, that didn't stop him from swapping saliva with LydiaKarakyriakou during Casa Amor week, they didn't name him 'Terrace Tom' for nothing.
Luckily for Tom, Samie forgave him and they made it all the way to the final where they came in third place.
But there is no way you can talk about Tom's villa experience without mentioning The Three Musketeers and his bromance with Casey O'Gorman.
Tom found a bond with fellow Islanders Casey and Will Young (the TikTok star, not the Pop Idol singer) and called themselves The Three Musketeers. Although in recent months it is clear that Will is no longer close to Tom and Casey, although the latter now live together and are with each other 24/7, Will is focussing on his relationship with Jessie Wynter.

What happened when Tom Clare was on Love Island: All Stars?
He entered the villa on day ten, and had that random dalliance with Georgia Steel who said Tom travelled half way across the country to meet her prior to the dating show.
Georgia was too busy trying to rekindle things with Toby Aromolaran and wind up Callum Jones to focus on Tom and him and Molly soon started a romance. They coupled up on day 11, after the viewers chose Molly out of her, Georgia and Arabella Chi; the three Islanders Tom had taken on a date.
The duo remained together all the way to the final where they were declared winners on the dating show. They announced they were engaged, via social media, on 4 September 2025.
What did Anna May Robey and David Saluko say about Tom Clare?
When we chatted to David Saluko and Anna-May Robey last year, they gave us all the deets on why Tom was so damn popular
"To be fair, it comes across like Tom doesn't have chat but he's actually very cheeky," David admitted.
"He's just tall. He's fit, he's nice to look at," Anna-May added.
It wasn't shown on TV, but Anna-May revealed that she too fancied Tom although they didn't spark a romance as it was more "friend vibes" between them.
What happened between Tom Clare and Georgia Steel?
When Tom posted a TikTok of him and Love Island 2018 star Georgia Steel in "matching outfits" obviously everyone jumped to the conclusion they were a couple because, why wouldn't you?
But, seeing as Georgia is now taking part in All Stars, we're going to assume they're just chums. However, who knows what could happen in the villa? It's a lawless place.
