Claudia Fogarty, the latest newbie to Love Island, has revealed what her renowned father Carl Fogarty thinks of her love life.
Last night, during the heart-race challenge, the 28-year-old made a theatrical debut, dashing towards the firepit to do filthy lap dances for the males before she’d even had a chance to interact with them for the first time.
As the islanders prepared for bed, Casey O’Gorman said that he knew who she was because he recognised her on Instagram.
‘The new girl…’ he muttered to Tom Clare and Samie Elishi minutes before falling asleep. I saw her on Instagram and recognised her. I believe her father won I’m A Celeb. Carl Fogarty,’ he says.
Claudia declared the next day that she intended to take Tom and Casey on dates.
As she sat down with Tom as her first date, he admitted that he was aware of who her famous dad was – racing legend and former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner Carl.
‘Is your dad Carl Fogarty?’ Tom asked, as Claudia replied: ‘Yeah he is, how did you know that?’
‘Me and Casey kind of put two and two together,’ he quipped, taking half the credit for himself.
Claudia then said that her father had informed her that he’d had enough of her dating ‘d**kheads,’ which is why she decided to try something new by appearing on Love Island.
‘My dad’s just like, it’s time to get rid of d**kheads now and settle down and find someone!’ she shared.

After learning Claudia’s father’s identity throughout the show, some Love Island fans who were previously ignorant of her origins remarked on how much she resembled him.
‘Claudia’s father being Carl Fogarty is giving me Gemma from last series feelings,’ commented another, referring to Love Island 2022 star Gemma Owen, the daughter of former professional footballer Michael Owen.
Love Island returns tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
