Tom Clare ‘had secret fling with reality star he was messaging HOURS before Love Island villa – and meeting Molly

TOM Clare had a "secret fling" with another reality star who he was messaging just hours before he entered the Love Island All Stars villa, it's been reported.

The 24-year-old won Love Island All Stars with girlfriend Molly Smith but it's been claimed he was seeing Made in Chelsea's Ruby Adler "for weeks" ahead of his arrival as a bombshell.

A source said: "Tom and Ruby were seeing each other for several weeks before he went on Love Island All Stars.

"After Tom slid into her DMs, they met up in person and started dating, with Ruby often staying over at Tom's place."

Continuing to the , the source revealed Ruby, 28, was left confused by Tom's decision to enter the Love Island villa for a second time.

The insider added: "Before he entered the villa, he messaged her a heartfelt goodbye and explained he was having his phone taken away by producers, and then he met Molly. It definitely wasn't easy for Ruby to watch all of the events of the show unfold."

Molly, 29, and Tom scooped the £50k prize, beating off competition from her ex-boyfriend Callum Jones and Jess Gale in the final.

Last month Molly and Tom made things official with her revealing his romantic bedroom proposal.

In a snap shared on social media, Molly told how Tom covered a bed with rose petals that spelled out the question: "Will you be my girlfriend?"

A love heart petal walkway led to the bed and heart-shaped helium balloons lined the way.

And it was recently revealed footballer Tom has returned to his day job after their All Stars victory.

He was supported by Molly and their fellow All Stars Islander Anton Danyluk as he took to the pitch with Macclesfield FC earlier this month.

Meanwhile The Sun revealed today how Molly is cashing in after the All Stars win.

She's landed a six-figure deal with fashion brand Boohoo after signing a 12 month contract.

And insider added: “It’s been ages since the company has splashed out on a Love Island star, but they really think she is worth it.”
