Love Island’s Tom tells bombshell Ellie he wants to ‘get to know’ her during a flirty chat – despite being linked to Zara
Love Island’s Tom Clare told bombshell Ellie Spencer he wants to meet her despite being linked to Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown.
The feeling was certainly mutual as the law firm executive, 23, turned her attention to the semi-professional footballer, also 23, after being turned away by Ron Hall, 25.
During the flirt chat, Ellie said, I’m disappointed you didn’t choose me as one of the three in the challenge, your perfect girlfriend.
Eek! Love Island’s Tom Clare told bombshell Ellie Spencer he wants to meet her despite being linked to Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown
Tom replied, “Well that’s because I don’t really know you yet, I need to get to know you.”
Speaking at the beach hut, Ellie admitted, “Now that the situation with Ron has been so messy, I think Tom could be my number one.”
Tom admitted during Friday night’s episode that despite people dating Zara, he would love to meet Ellie.
After Ellie entered the South African mansion, Tom pulled her in for a chat and assured her he wanted to meet her, insisting he wasn’t “exclusive” with Zara.

Oh dear: Zara is pictured
“I’m not exclusive, you know what I mean,” he said when Ellie asked him what to think of his current partner Zara and Ellie’s fellow newcomer Spencer Wilks, 24, in the conversation.
When Tom said it doesn’t ” bother him,” Ellie replied, ” That’s a bit of a red flag.”
But Tom hit back: “She’s not my girl, how much do you fancy me?”
A flirtatious Ellie then referenced Zara’s argument with Olivia, saying: “You really surprised me, you’re so funny and we only get each other’s banter. I thought after the drama you’d say no.’
But Tom insisted he was interested in getting to know her and told Ellie to be “honest” when Zara asks her.
“Zara acts like you’re solid,” Ellie said.
To which Tom said, “I’ve only been in here once and you’re fit. I want to get to know you 100 percent.”
Zara was then seen catching Tanyel Revan, 26, and furious that she didn’t want “mixed signals” from him.
“I don’t need mixed signals, I don’t need a doubt. I don’t think I should let it in here,’ she said.
But Tanyel told her she had “no reason to worry” as she reassured her friend about the situation.
Tom and Zara then caught up, with Zara in tears as she told him he should have taken her for a chat.
“I haven’t had a chance to talk to you, though,” Tom retorted, insisting they were in a “good place.”
“I think it’s important for us to catch up, especially when bombs are coming in,” Zara said, as Tom promised to do just that and they kissed and made up.
