Love Island’s Tom slammed by fans for ‘most awkward moment ever’ on reunion show
LOVE Island’s Tom Clare has been slammed by fans for the ‘most awkward moment ever’ on the reunion show last night.
The cast of this year’s winter series of the ITV2 dating show got together for one last time on Sunday evening.
Host Maya Jama, podcast presenters Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polack and the rest of the 2023 Islanders returned to the studio to chat about everything that has happened over the last eight weeks.
During one segment of the programme, Tom and Samie Elishi, 23 – who placed third – opened up about their time in the villa to Maya.
But the loved-up pair were joined on the sofa with a few of Tom’s exes Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown, Ellie Spence and Casa Amor bombshell Lydia Karakyriakou.
As viewers will know, Tom and Zara coupled up when she entered the villa as a bombshell, but things turned sour when the northern hunk shared his interest in her, Ellie and Olivia Hawkins, 27.
In a blazing argument, Zara told Tom that his family would be “ashamed” of his actions – which resulted in him ripping his shirt off and storming out of the villa.
Love Island fans noticed that Tom didn’t look at Zara while she chatted to Maya, but acknowledged Ellie and Lydia during the segment.
Fans think that the footballer needs to get over the Zara family comment as it’s been two months.
One wrote on Reddit: “Tom straining himself not to look at Zara was killing me.”
Another replied: “I was dying, like is it that serious? It’s actually been months.”
“She really got under his skin lol,” a third chimed in.
“It was that parent comment I didn’t even think it was that bad but gosh, he’s still burning,” a fourth added.
Tom and Samie were treated to an incredible homecoming party after returning to UK following their time in the Love Island villa.
They were seen arriving in a pub and greeted by cheering friends and family in clips shared on Instagram.
Other posts showed an impressive black, gold and white balloon display with a neon sign that read: “Crazy in love.”
Finishing off the decorations were some giant LED light up letters spelling out “T&S”.
They were even surprised at the bash by fellow Love Island star Claudia Fogarty.
