Love Island winners Tom Clare and Molly Smith have finally made their romance official with a romantic proposal.
The happy couple, aged 24 and 30 respectively, won the show’s first All Star format earlier this month and have since remained quiet about their relationship status ahead of their big announcement.
On Wednesday, the personal trainer took to TikTok to share a beautiful video of a hotel bed covered in roses, spelling out the words, “Will you be my girlfriend?”
She wrote a caption on top: “I can’t believe Tom did this for me, ahh (sic),” with the video also showing an abundance of heart-shaped balloons.
His sweet gesture comes after Tom admitted his frustrations over fans’ desire for Molly to rekindle life with her ex-boyfriend Callum Jones – before labeling his former flame Georgia Steel as the ‘snakiest’ contestant.

The footballer says he ‘understands’ why fans want the former couple to have a ‘fairytale ending’, but he can’t help but feel down about the reactions on social media.
After becoming the first ever All Stars champion, Tom insists he has no doubt Molly, 29, and Callum, 27, are over and he believes there was no sign of a link between them in the South -African villa.
And Tom revealed, in order to make his relationship with Molly work, that he plans to move from London, where he currently lives, to Manchester, which will coincide with him rejoining his old football team Macclesfield.
He said: ‘I’ve come out and seen a lot of messages saying Molly and Callum should get back together and it’s damning to see, it’s damning, but in the villa there was no sign of it.
“If there had been an inclination, if there had been flirting, I would have addressed it, but there was nothing at all. I understand, they want the fairy tale and they were together for a long time, but at the end of the day it’s still damn fun to watch.”
During their time on the show, it was revealed that Georgia and Tom had ‘history’, with the pair previously dating before ending up in the All Stars line-up.
But Tom says their romance wasn’t as serious as Georgia claimed in the series, and claims they only met outside the villa ‘twice’.
Speaking to Sophie Habboo and Melissa Tattam on their podcast on Wednesday, he said: ‘Obviously I saw Georgia outside the villa for two days… we didn’t see each other. We weren’t dating or anything like that. I wouldn’t consider it history at all.’

Molly also revealed a comment Georgia made, which was not aired during the show’s Heart Rate Challenge, where islanders perform seductive routines for each other.
She added: ‘She tried to spend a lot of time with Tom…
“She said one thing to us that I don’t think was broadcast. After Tom did his heart rate challenge and as he left, she shouted to Arabella (Chi): “He put his hand on my chest and neck” or whatever… “I wonder how he knew to do that. ..and I just sat there.”
Molly and Tom won the All Stars series and took home the £50,000 prize money, while Callum came second with new love interest Jess Gale
Molly was left feeling uncomfortable by her love rival Georgia’s comments, including a comment she said during the show’s Heart Rate Challenge about Tom knowing where to put his hands.
Molly and Callum split for four months before appearing on Love Island: All Stars, but were confronted about their breakup as soon as they entered the villa
Molly and Callum split for four months before appearing on Love Island: All Stars, but were confronted about their breakup as soon as they entered the villa.
Callum was given the decision by presenter Maya Jama to work with Molly or ‘steal’ one of the other female contestants, and out of respect for his past relationship he chose his ex.
And now Molly says she’s grateful the show gave her a “glam squad” to prepare her for the moment she first arrived and was faced with the dramatic reunion.
She said: “They showed me who the starting line-up was, and he wasn’t in it, so I thought, ah great, I can have my moment, I’ll sort it out and he’ll probably come in a week or so, but I maybe a connection…
“I walked in and he was already there, I saw the back of his head and I thought, cheers… that’s amazing, isn’t it. Thank God there was a glamor team, otherwise that could have been difficult. I had hair and makeup done before I went in.”
