Love Island’s Tom Clare has finally broken his silence on reunion rumors with Samie Elishi after stating he was ‘done’ with the ITV2 show that made him famous.
The couple split in April, but have since been spotted together at numerous star-studded events, leaving fans convinced they were back together.
Footballer Tom, 23, who rose to fame on the winter series earlier this year, shared The sun: ‘I have a lot of love and respect for Samie, so yes, it’s good.’
He then seemed to suggest that he was so happy with the stunning estate agent, 22, that he would never see himself returning to the dating show for a second stint like fellow islander Adam Collard.

Back on? The couple split in April, but have since been spotted together at numerous star-studded events, leaving fans convinced they’re back together (pictured together earlier this month)
“It’s just not for me, I’ve done it now, the best thing I’ve ever done, so I want to keep it that way. I wouldn’t want to go back and ruin it.”
Before adding, “I get a lot of female attention, but I’m not interested – I know where my heart is, let’s put it that way.”
The couple watched as they left the star-studded premiere of Jennifer Lawrence’s new movie No Hard Feelings in London last month.
But they first got tongues wagging when Samie FaceTimed the footballer from a cruise and videos of them looking cozy in Marbella surfaced online.
They were next seen together as they headed to a lunch date with fellow Love Islander Claudia Fogarty.
The former Love Island star, who rose to prominence on the winter series earlier this year, told MailOnline that the pair split after their relationship became “intense” and “under pressure”, but there was no fighting or bad blood between them.
The ex-Macclesfield Town footballer explained that their romance took a turn when they left the ITV2 villa in March, saying that as ‘grown adults’ they decided being together wasn’t right.
In a new interview, the eBay ambassador revealed that he has “no interest” in seeing anyone else and would even turn down the chance to appear on the E4 show Celebs Go Dating.

He said, ‘When you come out of the villa, things are very different. It can be a lot and intense and there was a lot of pressure on the situation.’
“We are on such good terms now and I have a lot of love and respect for her. There’s no bad blood there and I wish her all the best, I know she’ll break it.
“We’re both adults and realized the relationship wasn’t right. We didn’t argue or anything like that. I still have a lot of time for her.
“Now that we’re not together… we’re focusing on ourselves… I don’t know if there’s any chance of us getting back together… I don’t know what could happen, but she’s a sweet, sincere girl .’
Tom confirmed his single status, adding: ‘I’m not dating, I’m not interested in it at the moment if I’m being honest. I wouldn’t do any other dating shows, no. I don’t think about dating at all, it’s not even in my head that I can’t lie.’
