LOVE Island fans have accused Casey O’Gorman of plotting to win the show – before he even met Gabby Allen.
The star has become the latest islander embroiled in a text debate after he shared messages between himself and former winner Molly Smith as he laid out his plans, weeks ahead of winning the £50k.
In the messages, Molly writes: “Good luck darling, you’ll be amazing, you always ar! Can’t wait to watch you, we’ll be voting on all devices!! Go show everyone why we all love you! We’ll be more than happy to pass our crown over to you. Can’t wait to double date.”
He replied: “Awwww thanks Molly. Very sweet!!! Yes bloody vote for me and let’s hope I’ll be on videos calls with you and Tom in the villa on the final episode.”
Sharing the conversation, Casey commented: “Manifestation at it’s finest. Double date Friday pending.”
But not everyone was happy about his comments and some have questioned his motives.
One person remarked: “Love Island Games is the only time ive felt all the contestants were actually genuine about wanting the money over love. Id much prefer them to be honest. In fact I started watching a US season and was surprised how open they are about wanting to stay for the game/money.”
Another commented on reddit: “Everyone going on all stars is doing it for additional recognition and the chance of winning, can we just accept that as part of the process? U can’t convince me anyone who has done this process once, whether successful or not, needs to go onto love island AGAIN for love when they know 80% of the islanders from nights out lol.”
While someone else wrote: “The text message Casey has shared shows they are all in it to win it.”
Others were quick to defend Casey and insisted his messages were nothing compared to those reportedly sent by Grace Jackson.
Ahead of the final, Olivia Hawkins returned to the villa and claimed she'd seen text messages from Grace to someone where she'd declared she would "do anything to win the show this time."
Not holding back, Olivia said: "Erm, so I've seen text messages of Grace just saying to someone that she would do whatever it takes to win the show this time."
Grace, who was currently coupled up with Luca, looked horrified at Olivia's comment, before she yelled: "Wait, what? From who?"
During Sunday's show Liv was backed by Samie Elishi who agreed "the "everyone" from Love Island All Stars had seen the screenshots.
Meanwhile, Messy Mitch Taylor claimed to "expose the messages from Grace" in a social media video.
Mitch shared a series of messages, supposedly sent by Grace to a mystery person.
Commenting on news Grace was heading to South Africa as a bombshell, the person wrote: "You're my winner regardless."
The person claiming to be Grace replied: "Aww thank you babe.
"I will win this time. I'll do anything."
A rep for Grace told The Sun: "Grace has said several times she hasn't sent messages of this nature."
