LOVE Island couple Samie Elishi and Tom Clare have split up – just a month after the show came to an end.
The pair, who came third during the last series, struggled to make the romance work despite only just making things official.

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.”
Tom, 23, lives in Barnsley, while Samie, 22, is based in Essex.
Fans feared they were on the rocks after failing to post about each other most of this month.
Tom previously said he would be happy to move wherever for Samie, in a bid to make things work.
He told The Celeb Report earlier this month: “I’ve been down there for a few days or she’s come up here. It hasn’t been like a one day thing, we’re making it work,” Tom continued.
“I think eventually we want to move in together but that takes time, it’s not something that you rush.
“I think if we could we’d want to move in together tomorrow but we’re just making it natural.
“I’d live wherever Samie wants to live – I’m not bothered me.”
Tom and Samie made things official two weeks after the show finished on a romantic date night.
Samie told her followers: “This is my BOYFRIEND everyone.”
Both Samie and Tom entered this year’s winter series of Love Island as bombshells.
However, the pair ended up falling for each other in the South African villa and made it all the way to the final.
Samie and Tom finished Love Island in third place, just behind runners-up Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins. They missed out on first place to winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan.
