Love Island All Stars winners Tom Clare and Molly Smith have revealed they are engaged, just a year after meeting on the ITV reality show.
The couple, who first crossed paths when Molly entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell following her split from Callum Jones, jetted off to Dubai for Tom’s birthday — and it turned into a holiday neither will forget.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Tom posted a series of photos, including the moment he got down on one knee outside the iconic Burj Al Arab. “She said yes!!!” he wrote, as Molly proudly displayed her dazzling diamond ring. Another snap showed Tom lifting Molly up while resting his hand on her bum as she smiled at the camera.
Their co-stars wasted no time flooding the comments with excitement. Luca Bish wrote: “Wow! Congratulations guys. Don’t get jealous @caseyogorman,” while Casey O’Gorman joked: “Congratulations to my brother and his QUEEN!!! Now to start writing the greatest best man speech of all time.” Liberty Poole added: “OMG!! Guys, so happy for you both,” and Tasha Ghouri gushed that they were “the most gorge couple.”
The happy announcement comes almost exactly a year after Tom told the Mirror that he was ready to spend forever with Molly, explaining: “I want to spend the rest of my life with Molly, but there’s no pressure in our time or anyone else’s time.”
Reflecting on her journey, Molly admitted she hadn’t expected much when signing up for All Stars. “I had hoped but I had no expectations. I honestly thought I’d leave week one,” she said. Tom playfully added, “She’s stuck with me now,” while Molly noted the pair are “in synch” and always bantering with each other.
