Love Island SPOILER: Tom admits he “got it wrong” during Casa Amor as he begs Samie for another chance
Tom Clare admitted he was “wrong” during Casa Amor when he begged Samie Elishi to give him another chance during Sunday night’s episode of Love Island.
Scottish beauty Lydia Karakyriakou caught the eye of the 23-year-old footballer while the girls were out for their latest relationship test.
Although he remained single, like her, during the reconciliation, Samie has been struggling to get over his kissing and caressing with Lydia.
On Sunday night’s episode, Tom and Samie chat after his conversation with Lydia earlier in the day left her feeling that Tom had downplayed their connection.
Tom said to Samie: ‘I was wrong and to think that I might be losing you because of that…’
Upset: Tom Clare admitted he was “wrong” during Casa Amor when he begged Samie Elishi for another chance during Sunday night’s episode of Love Island
Samie then said in return, “I actually like you.”
Then Tom told him: ‘You don’t have to give me a second chance, but I pray that you give me a second chance to show you that I am a trustworthy person.
‘The feelings I have for you are real.’
On Friday night’s episode, Samie was left furious with Tom after Lydia said they did more than “a little flirtation” and said that he had “never” given her an “indication” that he was leaning towards Samie.
In the following teaser clip, Samie had a confrontation with Tom, in which he said, ‘I know you explained to me how to hug in bed at night, I feel bad!’
During Thursday’s reunion, Samie was furious with Tom after finding out about the kiss.
The 22-year-old senior realtor coordinator certainly didn’t hide her anger after discovering her partner’s cheeky antics during their days apart at Casa Amor.
Footballer Tom made the decision to ‘stick’ with his partner Samie after admitting he was torn between her and 22-year-old newcomer Lydia.
Fuming: On Sunday night’s episode, Tom and Samie chatted together after his chat with Lydia earlier in the day left her feeling Tom had downplayed their connection
He was delighted when Samie decided to stay single as well and she returned to the main villa alone from Casa Amor, and the couple shared a sweet reunion.
Their delight did not last long, however, as Lydia dramatically told Samie that Tom had been “kissing” and “hugging” her outside of the dares.
Dropping the big bombshell, Lydia revealed, “Obviously we share a kiss and hug a little bit, but if they have something special that he thinks is there, then I can’t discuss it.”
A furious Samie said that she felt she had been loyal to Tom and said she didn’t need to be ‘proved’ by kissing anyone else.
She said, “Well, I didn’t hug anyone, or kiss anyone outside of the challenges, so maybe we’ll work a little differently.” I don’t feel like I have to fully test myself and kiss people to find out where my heart is.
Admitting to his antics while Samie seemed unimpressed, Tom said, ‘That’s just me, I needed to do that to realize my feelings for Samie.’ I’m not afraid to raise my hands and say I’ve done something.
Hard Times: Tom said to Samie, ‘I’ve been wrong and to think I might be losing you because of that…’
In another tense twist, Tom was challenged by Casa Amor girl Layla Al-Momani, who said she hadn’t kissed Lydia as a ‘test’ but because there was a ‘connection’ there.
“I never want to hurt anyone, from the bottom of my heart I never want to hurt any girl,” Tom replied.
Asked by host Maya Jama if she felt like she had a connection with Tom, Lydia said, “We hit it off and there was attraction there, but I’m really happy for you.”
The tense make-up scenes came after Tom got close to newcomer Lydia and even shared a kiss with the Scottish beauty during Wednesday’s episode.
Before the new couple, he admitted to Lydia that he was conflicted between choosing her or staying with Samie.
Talking to Lydia about his feelings for her and Samie during the episode, Tom said, “I really don’t know.”
Not impressed: The senior realtor coordinator certainly didn’t hide her anger after discovering her partner’s cheeky antics during their days apart at Casa Amor
“I can tell,” Lydia replied, as she continued, “There are qualities in you and Samie that I look for in a girlfriend.”
“No matter what, you’ve done what’s right for yourself,” Lydia added.
At Casa Amor, Samie was meeting the new guy Ryan while exploring her options.
But the flame quickly went out between the pair when Samie admitted she was “revulsed” by Ryan during Wednesday’s episode.
Steamy: Tom and Lydia shared a steamy kiss on the terrace during Wednesday night’s episode.
On the other hand, things were heating up for Tom as he got closer to Lydia, pulling her in for a chat on the terrace.
The pair shared a kiss during the conversation as she left the jock angry while he weighed his connection to her and Samie.
Tom and Lydia also got closer in bed later as they shared a hug, while Samie and Ryan were in bed together but remained firmly apart as they got some sleep.
Love Island continues on Sunday night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
