On Tuesday night\u2019s episode (23rd January), Tom\u2019s comeback was teased, as he was seen heading towards the villa alongside season six star Sophie Piper<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not been too long since we last saw Tom in the villa, after making his debut as the first bombshell of the second winter edition in January 2023.<\/p>\n He was nicknamed \u201cTerrace Tom\u201d for his shenanigans on the balcony, but managed to leave the season in a committed relationship with Samie Elishi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sadly, they split just months after appearing on the ITV2 dating show, and now Tom is back for a second chance at finding love.<\/p>\n Could we see Samie following in his footsteps? There\u2019s no word of Samie\u2019s return just yet, but we\u2019ll keep you updated once we know more.<\/p>\n In the meantime, read on for everything you need to know about Tom Clare \u2013 one of the contestants in the Love Island: All Stars 2024 line-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n Age:<\/strong> 24<\/p>\n Job:<\/strong> Semi-pro footballer<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>Barnsley<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> @tomclare__<\/a><\/p>\n Tom Clare is a semi-professional footballer from Barnsley. He first appeared on Love Island in January 2023 and left the show in a couple with Samie Elishi.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Tom is looking to find love again and he thinks the villa is the perfect place to find it!<\/p>\n Asked why he wanted to give it another go, Tom said ahead of his return: \u201cI found love last time, so I am back and ready to give it another go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He continued: \u201cWhen you\u2019re with someone 24\/7 you really get to know them. It can be such an alien environment, so you really get to know someone in a short space of time. It\u2019s Love Island \u2013 it\u2019s the best place!\u201d<\/p>\n In terms of how he\u2019d feel if he were to bump into an ex in the villa, he added: \u201cI think it\u2019s hard because I was obviously in love with Samie, so I don\u2019t know how I would react.<\/p>\n \u201cWe haven\u2019t seen each other in a long time and things have been said. It would be difficult seeing her. Although we might have argued a bit, she\u2019s got a good heart and I haven\u2019t got a bad way to say about her.\u201d<\/p>\n Tom took part in season 9 of Love Island in January 2023. He arrived as the show\u2019s first bombshell.<\/p>\n He had connections with Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown, Ellie Spence, Samie Elishi and Lydia Karakyriakou, but it\u2019s his romance with Samie that really shone as the pair went on to finish in third place behind winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan.<\/p>\n Just months after appearing on Love island, it was reported that Samie and Tom had split in April 2023. Nevertheless, the pair were pictured hanging out, leading fans to believe they were still together.<\/p>\n Just months later it was revealed that the were no longer an item, with the duo appearing to throw shade at one another on social media.<\/p>\n For more on what happened between Tom and Samie<\/a>, follow the link.<\/p> Love Island: All Stars continues Sunday to Friday on ITV2 and ITVX<\/strong>.
