Love Island bombshell Claudia Fogarty is getting to know Tom Clare in the villa – but fans are certain it’s not the first time their paths have crossed.

The 28-year-old made her debut on the ITV juggernaut series presented by Maya Jama on Tuesday, making quite the entrance in a red angel outfit.

Given Tom’s reaction to Claudia’s, who is the daughter of I’m A Celeb winner Carl Fogarty, arrival, some have speculated the duo have met before.

Looking stunned, Tom, 23, muttered: ‘Oh f**k’ with viewers convinced his reaction suggests he ‘knows her from somewhere.’

Fans may get to find out whether or not they have a romantic past on Wednesdats’s instalment of the reality show, with the fashion boutique own picking Tom for a date.

In the morning, the Blackburn-born Islander receives a text inviting her to take two boys of her choice out on dates.

Claudia picks Casey O’Gorman and Tom who all head out of the villa to enjoy a date each under a pergola set alongside a stunning sea view. 

First up is Tom who seems to be enjoying the company, commenting: ‘I think I got the best of both worlds, two very nice views, I can’t complain.’

When asked why she picked Tom, Claudia responds: ‘The northern charm, you’re very similar to me and you’ve got very good eye contact, I love that.’

But will their topics of conversation also cover a mutual past?

Meanwhile, back at the villa Samie Elishi notices Tom’s absence and says: ‘I knew I liked him, but I think I like him a little bit more now.’

Next up is Casey’s date with Claudia; as they get talking she tells him: ‘I need to get to know everyone, but coming in last night I feel like I was so drawn to you.’

Claudia then asks Casey: ‘What would your ideal date be?’

Casey replies: ‘If I could picture a perfect date and a perfect girl it would be this.’
