Love Island’s Tom tells bombshell Ellie he’s “looking to meet her” during a flirty chat
Love Island’s Tom Clare has told bombshell Ellie Spencer that he’s looking to meet her, before ending his budding romance with Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown.
The feeling was certainly mutual as the 23-year-old law firm executive turned her attention to the semi-pro footballer, also 23, after being snubbed by Ron Hall, 25.
During the flirty chat, Ellie said, “I’m disappointed you didn’t pick me in the challenge as one of the three, your perfect girlfriend.”
Eek! Love Island’s Tom Clare told bombshell Ellie Spencer that he’s looking to meet her, despite being paired with Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown
Tom replied, ‘Well, that’s because I don’t really know you yet, I need to know you.’
Speaking at the beach hut, Ellie admitted, “Now that Ron’s situation has been so difficult, I think Tom could be my number one.”
In scenes filmed the next day, Tom and Ellie once again flirted while he worked out in the villa’s gym, with her admitting that he makes her “nervous”.
Ellie began grafting on to Tom as she raved about his good looks and eye contact and also revealed that he “makes her nervous”.
Beloved: The feeling was certainly mutual as the law firm executive, 23, turned her attention to the semi-pro footballer, also 23.
OMG: Tom soon ended his budding romance with Zara
Taking a break from working out, Tom asked, ‘Do I make you a little nervous?’ Ellie admitted, “You do, you definitely do.”
Tom asked the bombshell: ‘Do you like spending time with me?’
Ellie replied, ‘100% you don’t look bad either, you have really good eye contact too, it makes me nervous, you have really pretty eyes.’
Tom admitted during Friday night’s episode that he would like to meet Ellie despite people being associated with Zara.
Oh lala! In scenes filmed the next day, Tom and Ellie once again flirted while he worked out in the villa’s gym, with her admitting that he makes her “nervous”.
Heads turn: Ellie began grafting on Tom as she raved about his good looks and eye contact and also revealed that he “makes her nervous”
After Ellie entered the South African villa, Tom called her up for a chat and assured her that he wanted to meet her, insisting that it’s not ‘exclusive’ with Zara.
“I’m not exclusive, you know what I mean?” she said when Ellie asked how she felt about her current partner Zara and Ellie’s fellow newcomer Spencer Wilks, 24, speaking.
When Tom said he wasn’t “upset” about it, Ellie replied, “That’s a bit of a red flag.”
But Tom replied: ‘She’s not my girl, how much do you like me?’
A flirtatious Ellie then referenced Zara’s fight with Olivia, saying, “You’ve really blown me away, you’re so funny and we’re just kidding around.” I thought after the drama you would say no.
But Tom insisted that he is interested in meeting her and told Ellie to be ‘honest’ about it if Zara asked.
“Zara plays like you’re solid,” Ellie said.
To which Tom said: ‘I’m only here once and you’re fit. I want to get to know you 100 percent.
Zara was then seen catching Tanyel Revan, 26, furious that she didn’t want any “mixed signals” from him.
‘I don’t need mixed signals, I don’t need no doubt. I don’t think you should allow it here,” she said.
But Tanyel told her that she had “nothing to worry about” as she reassured her friend about the situation.
Tom and Zara then caught up, and Zara broke down in tears when he told her that he should have called her to talk.
“I haven’t had a chance to talk to you though,” Tom replied, insisting that they’re in a “good place.”
“I think it’s important that we catch up, especially when the bombs hit,” Zara said, when Tom promised to do just that and they kissed and made up.
