Love Island’s Tom Clare in dramatic car accident as he insists it ‘wasn’t his fault’
TOM Clare was involved in a dramatic car accident and told fans it "wasn't his fault" as he shared an update.
The Love Island star, 24, took to Instagram to post the news alongside a snap of him with his feet up at home.
Tom - who shot to fame during the winter series earlier this year - wrote: "Ended up in a car accident this morning.
"Wasn't my fault and luckily nobody was hurt. Car's gone into the garage and now getting a hire car."
It comes after Tom's "new girlfriend" was revealed following his split from Samie Elishi.
As Samie uploaded a sweary clip on social media which some fans thought was aimed at Tom, one follower wrote: "Tom has a new girlfriend now, she’s called Paula Wilk, she’s an Instagram model, they were out together today."

The comment caught Samie's attention, prompting her to reply: "Thanks hun x"
Tom has been spotted liking a string of Paula's sexy snaps, including a picture of the brunette beauty in a lace see-through frock and a photo of her wearing a skintight maxi dress.
He and Samie came third during the show's final in January but split just a month after leaving the villa.
A source at the time told The Sun: “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.
