LOVE Island’s Molly Smith and Tom Clare are finally official after he surprised with a romantic proposal.

The semi-pro footballer pulled out all the stops to secure his girl two weeks after winning All Stars with her in South Africa.

Until now the pair had remained coy about when they would become boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, behind the scenes Tom, 24, worked to ensure it would be a memorable moment.

He 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.

Molly, 29, said: “Can’t believe Tom done this for me ahhh [love heart eyes emoji].”

A narrative about being soulmates played over the top of the video.

The couple shared their first loved-up Instagram snap last week with Callum sweeping Molly off her feet and giving her a kiss outside in the street.

They captioned the shot: “Start of something new.”

Prior to that Love Island fans were convinced they spotted a clue that proved the pair were the real deal.

They noticed Tom had unfollowed a number of people on Instagram after the series final, which they believe insinuated that he’d cut ties with various women he might have been speaking to on the platform.

Meanwhile yesterday Tom hit out at Georgia Steel and branded her the “snakiest” Islander.

In the villa Georgia, 25, showed an interest in Tom and claimed to have a big history with the footballer.

She revealed how Tom had previously driven to York with just her phone number written on a piece of paper – but Tom has insisted it wasn’t as romantic as she made out and that they spent “two days” together.

Speaking to Sophie Habboo and Melissa Tattam on their Wednesdays podcast, Molly joked: “No phone and a piece of a paper and he knocked on all the doors to find the right one.”

A bewildered Tom replied: “What? Say that again.”

Molly said: “That’s what she said.”

But Tom insisted: “I did not knock on nobody’s door.”

Molly also revealed Georgia made a sly dig after the Islanders took part in the Heart Rate Challenge.

She said: “[Georgia] did say one thing to us as well that I don’t think got aired. After Tom had done his to us [the Heart Rate Challenge], and when he left, she shouted across me to Arabella [Chi], and was like ‘oh he put his hand on my chest or my neck or whatever… I wonder how he knew how to do that…'”

And Tom didn’t hold back when he was asked to name the “snakiest” Islander, replying: “Probably Georgia Steel.”
