Tom's influencer sister Laura has now spoken out on his villa crisis.
She shared a photo of them both with their parents at a restaurant and said: "We are always more than proud of you," tagging her brother in the post.
The 23-year-old semi pro footballer has been stringing three different girls along but was rumbled last night after news of his kiss with Ellie spread throughout the villa.
Their smooch was exposed after Ellie told Will, who proceeded to tell Tanya, who rushed to tell Zara.

Zara was seen calling out for Olivia as she felt the actress deserved to know the truth.
Zara told her: “I’ve just been told by Tanya that Ellie and Tom kissed.”
Olivia replied: “Are you joking?”
Fuming Olivia added: “‘I want to explore it again’ my a***, are you serious?”

Getting more angry she said: "And he comes and tells me that he ‘sees her as a friend’?”
Afterwards, things continued to escalate as the other islanders shared their opinions on the situation, with tensions reaching boiling point after Zara confronted Tom in front of all the other boys.
She said: "I feel like everything that's come out of your mouth is absolute b******t and I feel like you're playing a massive game and I'm sure your parents are proud of you because you're showing your true colours now."
The next morning, Tom cleared the air by apologising to Olivia for hurting her and to Ellie for not being honest about his emotions but said he had nothing to say to Zara.
It comes Love Island was hit with hundreds of Ofcom complaints regarding treatment in the villa towards Zara.
Last week we told how the show had become embroiled in a bullying row and tensions reached boiling point during a controversial game of truth or dare.
During an upsetting game Tom told Zara he preferred Olivia’s face, but said she had the best body.
Aaron, 24, then said he thought Zara was most likely to speak behind his back and Lana said she thought Tom and Zara were the least compatible couple.
Her family were forced to speak out after, insisting she can handle herself in a hostile environment.
Zara’s mum Denise said: “We understand people’s concerns when they see she is visibly upset. We know the show is highly edited and that Zara is free to leave at any time.”
Viewers have since called for Tom to be axed from the show, with one writing on Twitter: "I knew tom was sick person since start 😬 he needs to leave that show asap he is giving abuser vibe."
Another said: "it’s pure gaslighting at it’s finest from tom it’s giving controlling."
