Another day of Love Island: All Stars, another set of bombshells set to enter the villa.

On Tuesday night’s episode (23rd January), season 6 star Sophie Piper and season 9’s Tom Clare were teased as the latest arrivals for this year’s show.

While Sophie hasn’t been in the villa since 2020, Tom only made his debut on the show last year, in January.

He left in a couple with Samie Elishi, but sadly things fizzled out soon after they exited the villa.

But, what exactly happened between them? Read on for everything you need to know.

What happened to Love Island’s Tom Clare and Samie Elishi?

Tom and Samie met on season 9 of Love Island. Despite a few wobbles along the way, they managed to make it to the end of the show together and placed third, behind winning couple Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan.

Just a few months after appearing in the series, it was reported that the couple had split in April 2023.

However, they were later seen hanging out together, leading fans to believe that the relationship was still very much on.

But things didn’t last, with the pair splitting once again.

Following their break-up, Samie appeared to throw shade at Tom, as she posted a video of herself lip-syncing to the words, “So I used to date this guy,” before pretending to vomit. The clip attracted 1 million views on the platform.

Tom followed with a TikTok of himself singing along to the words, “Why are you so obsessed with me?” The video also ended up getting 1 million views.

It’s not yet known whether Samie will make a return to the Love Island villa, but given the amount of exes who are currently in the series, we wouldn’t be surprised if she did make a comeback.

Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish reunited on the show before Jake decided to leave.

Toby Aromolaran has enjoyed flings with Georgia Steel and Arabella Chi, and Kaz Kamwi‘s ex Tyler Cruickshank recently joined the villa.
