FANS of Love Island have been left convinced that Tom Clare and Samie Elishi’s break-up has turned bitter after she issued a statement on the news.
The couple appeared to fall in love in South Africa on the ITV2 dating show but it appears that less than two months after leaving the villa, the pair are no longer on good terms.
Fans think Tom and Samie’s break-up has taken a turn
Samie made a statement after Tom spoke out
We revealed this week that the finalists had gone their separate ways.
Tom was the first to speak out on social media, telling fans he was “gutted”.
Now Samie has spoken out, writing on Instagram: “Really didn’t want to have to write an Instagram story on this but the comments and messages I have been getting since Tom posted his story yesterday is just not fair.
“I will be speaking about everything soon but at the moment the time isn’t right (which I will also explain).
“Thank you for the kind messages, they don’t go unnoticed.”
However, fans believe that things may not have ended on the best of terms following Samie’s cryptic statement.
One fan said: “Hmmmm so seems like it’s not ended on the best of terms if you ask me!”
Many picked up on how Samie mentioned how the “time isn’t right” to speak on the break-up, something they inferred could be a thinly-veiled dig at her ex after he broke his silence first.
Another fan suggested that Samie would tell her side of the story in more detailed form as they wrote: “YouTube video incoming.”
Someone else mused: “Tom’s post was so innocent… why bring it up?
“Sure, it was a catalyst for all of the hate she’s been receiving but he wasn’t in the wrong for posting it.
“She’s making it seem like he’s deliberately painted her in a bad light. Girl your own actions did.”
As a fourth added: “But if just one person posts a statement people always jump to wild conclusions both of them should have posted a joint statement if they were smart.”
Samie – who is based in London – put head over heart and called time on their romance after a number of trips north to visit her footballer beau.
A source told HOAR: “She was tired of making all the effort in the relationship – she’d visit him a lot but he wasn’t coming down to see her as much.
“If it was this hard early on – what would it be like in a year?”
The beauty, who worked as an estate agent before finding fame, entered Love Island midway through the winter 2023 series as a late bombshell.
She instantly turned original islander Tom’s head having fought off competition from fellow bombshells Ellie Spence and Zara Lackenby Brown.
