Love Islands Tom Clare takes Samie Elishi on tour of Macclesfield FC after landing back in UK

Love Island stars Tom Clare and Samie Elishi have been getting to know each other outside of villa life – with one of their first stops being Tom’s football club.

The star, 23, got special permission to temporarily leave his club Macclesfield FC, where he plays as a forward, mid-season in order to enter the South African villa.

Two months later, Tom is now back on his home pitch, this time with his new love Samie, 23, by his side, as the couple test their relationship outside the confines of the ITV reality show.

The pair took to Instagram to share photos and videos of their day as they sat in the stands and watched a training session.

Tom took Samie on a tour of the grounds and they later posed for a sweet photo together, with Samie saying how much she’d loved seeing her beau at his day job.

Sharing a photo of the couple smiling sweetly together in the stands, Samie wrote: “Such a good day seeing this one in his natural habitat. Thank you to all the lads for welcoming me! I loved being part of the team for the day. Catch me in the stands for the foreseeable”

Some of Samie’s Love Island co-stars chimed in on the photo, with Ron Hall writing: “This is quality, get him back on the pitch pronto! Need to see him bagging goals again”.

Jessie Wynter wrote: “Cuties”.

Meanwhile, Casey O’Gorman joked: “Where was my invite?!”

Earlier this month, Samie and Tom were announced as third place winners of Winter 2023 Love Island, behind runners-up Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins and show winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan.

However, before the big results announcement, the couple had prepared speeches for each other and spoke about how they'd fallen for each other during their time on the show.

The pair were reunited with family and friends as they landed back in the UK earlier this week.

The return to the UK comes just one week after the Islanders came face to face with some of their relatives during the iconic meet the parents episode of the ITV2 dating show last weekend.

Samie’s mum Wendy and her sister Courtney entered the villa, to meet their daughter’s new beau, while Tom’s mum Maxine and his sister Laura were keen to meet Samie for themselves.

While on the show, Wendy claimed that she’d never Samie ever behave like she had done in the show, with the villa clearly bringing out the best in her.

“He’s so lovely, he absolutely adores you Samie and you really like him don’t you?” quizzed Samie’s mum.

The bombshell herself also went on to win Tom’s sister Courtney’s seal of approval as his protective sibling noted: "She’s unbelievable, you make such a good couple, how affectionate you are with each other, you’re always looking for each other, it’s just so nice to see. I think she’s the one for you.”
