Tom Clare and Samie Elishi have taken a major step in their relationship.
The couple placed third during the final of the winter series of Love Island 2023.
Meanwhile Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan were crowned the winners, Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins placed runners-up, and Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad claimed fourth place.
Taking to her Instagram story on Tuesday, Samie confirmed she and Tom are officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
The 22-year-old shared a video of her and her beau singing and holding hands, and wrote: “This is my BOYFRIEND everyone ❤️😂😂😂😂.”
The couple dropped the ‘L-bomb’ while they were still in the villa.
Earlier this week, Samie sparked rumours she’s set to get her own ITV spin-off show on the back of Love Island.
She shared a snap of an ITV coffee mug alongside a notepad via her Instagram story, writing: “Busy & exciting day ahead.”
The Love Island star later shared a snap of her posing in the ITV studios with her suitcase, writing: “Successful day done. Exciting things to come!”
Meanwhile her stylist penned: “Third wheel jokes aside I’ve been with Samie most days since she left the villa and when I tell you this girl has been grafting – she really has.”
“Always smiling, never complaining. This is her chatting to her dad on the phone after back to back meetings form 10am to 6pm.”
“I know people think it’s just a show but it’s actually not I’m ngl!”
