Love Island fans reckon Claudia is Tom’s ex after his ‘terrified’ reaction to her arrival

Love Island fans are convinced that Tom Clare has dated bombshell Claudia Fogarty because of his “terrified” reaction to her entering the villa.

On Tuesday night's show, Claudia, who is the daughter of famous Superbike racer Carl Fogarty, was introduced to the ITV programme as a bombshell following the Dirty Dancing challenge.

Tom was initially seen cheering alongside the other boys as she walked towards them in a skimpy lace outfit with red wings.

But his facial expression switched to one of horror as he got a closer look at the new contestant.

He suddenly exclaimed: “Oh f**k!" before looking nervous, which led to fans speculating that he knows Claudia, and could have even dated her.

One viewer tweeted: “Tom looks terrified by this new girl. I'm calling it early – she's his ex!"

Another wrote: “Tom’s “oh f**k” is giving this bombshell is one of his exes and I’m here for the drama.”

A third commented: “Yessss, it was giving me ex-girlfriend vibes!"

While a fourth agreed: “Tom is defo bricking it. He did this girl dirty on the outside. His ex is back for revenge.”

Apart from the mysterious new bombshell, last night's episode was one of the series’ most eventful so far. Lana Jenkins changed her mind and dumped Casey O'Gorman to go back to Ron Hall while Jessie Wynter shocked fans by admitting she and Will Young had sex in the hideaway.

Meanwhile, Carl Fogarty has been cruelly trolled online after posting a good luck message to his daughter as she enters the villa.

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
