Love Island's Samie Elishi is said to be secretly dating a TOWIE star as she moves on from her ex Tom Clare.

Samie first rose to fame on Love Island in 2023 where she coupled up with Tom but they split just weeks after. Her moving on comes as her ex won Love Island All Stars with Molly Smith, with the pair splitting £50,000 between them.

Almost a year after going on the hit dating show, Samie is said to have found love elsewhere. She is rumoured to be enjoying a string of dates with Towie's Harry Lee, 28. The pair are said to be growing close after dating.

A source told The Sun: "They met out and about in Essex and have mutual friends. "They are super close and have been spending a lot of time together.

"Samie and Harry are definitely in the honeymoon stage and have enjoyed getting to know each other out of the spotlight."

Harry is known for joining the 24th series of Towie and going onto appear on three seasons. During his time on the show he was linked to multiple girls including Chloe Brockett and Frankie Sims.

Harry is currently playing mid field for Concord Rangers. Samie and Tom became fan favourites in the 2023 series of Love Island.

The pair came in third place but their romance didn't work out on the outside.

Meanwhile, Tom and Samie became huge fan favourites on Love Island 2023. At the time a source said: "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."

While Love Island All Stars was on, it was said that Samie decided to not go on the spin-off show once she found out that her ex-boyfriend would be there.

Samie 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.

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."

The Mirror has contacted ITV and Samie Eilshi and Harry Lee's representatives for comment.
