Thursday night's episode of the ITV2 show saw some of the islanders receive video calls from loved ones back in the UK. Molly, 29, got to speak to her close pal Sophie whilst in the villa, which is located in South Africa, and was seen in tears on the call, which gave her the chance to see her dog Nelly.

The conversation included discussion about Callum, 27. Molly and Callum met on the sixth series of Love Island, which aired in 2020. The continued their relationship after being dumped from the villa but it was announced last year that they had split up after around three years together.

They were intially coupled-up on spin-off All Stars but have since pursued romances with other islanders. Molly is now coupled-up with Tom Clare, 24, whilst Callum is partnered with Jess Gale, 24, in the villa, with just days until the final.

Some fans have hoped that Molly and Callum would get back together whilst in the villa again. She however appeared to dismiss the possibility whilst on the video call with her pal Sophie on the latest episode of the ITV2 show.

Whilst discussing Tom, Sophie said: "I think he's really nice. He's proper like giving you reassurance. I feel like a lot of the side of Callum that he didn't do, Tom has made up for." Molly agreed, with her commenting: "It's someone that kind of like is doing the things that I've wanted from someone."

And asked if the "chapter is fully closed" with her ex Callum, Molly said: "Yeah. I think obviously it's nice to see him so happy and I'm obviously happy with Tom. [...] I don't think we would ever have got to this point if we didn't come in here."

Sophie went on to share that some fans have been rooting for a reconcilation between Molly and her ex, telling her: "I will say, people of the UK wanted you and Callum back together." The islander laughed and questioned: "What?" Sophie said: "It's been intense. Everyone is obsessed."

Molly had already taken the opportunity to reassure Jess earlier in the episode following the latter's own video call. She told Jess: "I don't want you to think that there's anything like going on behind ... cause there's genuinely not."
