After the Winter Love Island 2023 bombshell The males’ heads fell when Claudia Fogarty sauntered over them for the heart-racing lap dance challenge as she made her stunning arrival into the resort.
However, one boy’s reaction was unusually intense, causing some fans to think that he may have a past connection to the newcomer from outside the villa.
Tom, 23, first whooped along with the rest of the islanders as Claudia, 28, strolled over to the bonfire.
As the boutique brand owner approached, his smile faded and he said, ‘Oh f**k.’
Some observers believe his reply proves he already knows Claudia, and that they may have a love history.
It wouldn’t be the first time exes met paths in the villa, as one fan immediately after watching the event tweeted: ‘Tom definately knows the new girl from someplace.’
‘Okay why do I feel like Tom knows Claudia from his reaction,’ someone else remarked, while another wrote: ‘Tom what’s wrong have you dated the new girl?’
Someone else said that it was ‘giving ex-girlfriend vibes’, while another tweeted a row of cry-laughing emojis over Tom’s gobsmacked reaction.
If Claudia turns out to already know Tom and could be a past sweetheart of his, it will certainly throw a wrench in his rocky Love Island trip.
From the beginning of his tenure on the show, Tom has been attracted in several ways, fluttering from Olivia Hawkins to Zara Lackenby-Brown, returning to Olivia while covertly loving Ellie Spence, and most recently forming a bond with Samie Elishi.
Is his prior admission that he desires a drama-free period going to be crushed once more?
Tonight’s episode of Love Island ended before viewers could see Claudia dance for the males or learn which lads and gals got everyone’s pulse racing the most.
With no preview for Wednesday night’s programme, viewers will have to remain patient to watch the drama unfold… as difficult as that may be.
Love Island returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
