'Expect there to be history!'

Molly Smith and Tom Clare issue a warning to the returning Islanders ahead of the new series

- 

For anyone still in doubt that Love Island can find you your perfect match, look at Molly Smith.

She and Callum Jones coupled up on the show in 2020 before splitting in 2023, but in 2024, model Molly returned to Love Island: All Stars for another shot at love.

There, she met Tom Clare, and while she was forced to find a new connection in front of her ex Callum, she and Tom were eventually crowned winners. In September, the Macclesfield FC footballer proposed in Dubai.

Remarkably, Molly says having Callum there actually helped her relationship with Tom flourish.

“I mean, it’s not an ideal situation, living with your ex,” Molly, 31, tells new. “But I do think that it also makes the healing process faster.

“You never know what’s going to happen and you’ve got to go with the flow of it. It was the best time ever. And it worked because now we’re getting married!”

Tom, 26, agrees, saying, “There’s no way I imagined this would happen. I grew up watching Love Island with my mum and sister, and then to be sat here now, having met Molly, and to be getting married.
