Love Island star 'pulls out' of All Stars after discovering ex is taking part
Two new bombshells are set to enter the Love Island All Stars villa, yet one former contestant isn't best pleased.
Tom Clare and Sophie Piper are heading into the villa on Wednesday night for a second chance at love. They had both been seen jetting off on a flight to South Africa earlier this month by holiday makers. However, it has been reported Tom's appearance has now come at the expense of his ex.
Samie Elishi is said to have also been approached to be a bombshell arrival on the ITV2 show, but when she heard about Tom's involvement she pulled out. It has been claimed Samie knew she would have been put it "awkward situations" with Tom and didn't want to be involved.

The couple split just a month after the show (Instagram)A source told The Sun: "It's fair to say Samie and Tom don't really get on these days. There's too much water under the bridge now. The idea of being back in the Cape Town villa - the same one where they first fell in love - was too much for Samie so once she heard Tom was in the mix it was an immediate 'hell no' to bosses."
Tom and Samie met on Love Island just last year where they reached the final four of the winter series. The couple split in April, just a month after the show ended. They had sparked split rumours after being spotted on separate nights out. London beauty Samie, 22, lived it up at a Pretty Little Thing bash with fellow Love Island stars and influencers, while Tom was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, the 23-year-old Macclesfield FC footballer was back home in Barnsley for a few days, enjoying a meal out with family and friends. A source told The Sun at the time: “Samie and Tom have sadly decided to call it a day. There is a lot of love and respect there but it just wasn’t going anywhere. The distance between them was too much and they are both really focused on their careers post Love Island.”
Tom and Samie came third on their series of Love Island – losing out on the top spot to winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan. Second place went to Lara Jenkins and Ron Hall. In March last year, things seemed to be going well for the couple, with Tom saying: “Me and Samie couldn’t be any better – obviously Samie’s down in London and I’m up north, but we’re making it work.
Revealing their plans for the future, smitten Tom said he thought there was a good chance him and Samie will eventually move in together. He shared: “I think if we could, we’d move in together tomorrow, but we’re just making it natural. I’d live wherever Samie wants to live, I’m not bothered me.”
The Mirror has contacted ITV and Samie Eilshi's representatives for comment.
