Love Island fans work out ‘real reason’ Tom told best friend Casey to crack on with Molly

LOVE Island fans have worked out the ‘real reason’ why Tom Clare has told best friend Casey O'Gorman to crack on with Molly Smith.

The 27-year-old, who entered the villa on the show earlier this week as a bombshell, has shown an interest in Tom's girl Molly, 29.

Last night the hunk pulled Molly for a chat - which left his former flame Georgia Harrison very upset.

Molly entered the villa as a bombshell and was left shocked when she saw her ex Callum Jones appear as the next one.

The boys have all shown an interest in Molly, but she's currently coupled with Tom.

Meanwhile Callum has cracked on with Georgia Steel - but the girls had an awkward row after Georgia started pulling Tom for chats behind Molly's back.

Now viewers have been left scratching their heads over why Tom has encouraged Casey to get to know Molly.

This has led many to take to social media to share their theories.

One wrote: "is Tom trying to move Molly on to Casey so that he can move into someone else… Back to Georgia S maybe? I haven’t seen the whole ep, so wasn’t sure why he seemed so keen for Casey to crack on?? Gross either way."

"Get these two men off my screen.. and tom wants Casey to take molly so he can go back to Georgia S," another chimed in.

Meanwhile others think it’s because Tom doesn’t believe Casey is a threat - so he was just being nice.

"Basically Tom doesn’t think you have a chance with Molly, Casey that’s why he’s encouraging you," another tweeted.

Elsewhere in the episode Casey revealed the real reason why he ghosted Georgia Harrison.

The pair had a brief romance at the end of last year - and Georgia was shocked when he joined the cast.

Georgia and Casey had an awkward argument about him "ghosting" her, which led them on to talk about what happened.

"Did you just go off me, was that all it was?", she enquired.

After a period of silence, she assured him it was okay to hear the real reason before he asked her if she "really" wanted the exact knowledge.

"I probably should have told you this earlier. You know me, I'm not really that much of a spiritual person.

"You mentioned my granddad and stuff like that and it really like threw me off."

As she tried to explain her actions and words, he wasn't having any of it as he continued to emphasise: "You started to say that you saw my dead granddad."

He added: "You said you like saw my granddad and he like wishes me well and I was like, 'this is just way to much for me!'," shutting the conversation down.
