Casey O'Gorman is planning to meet up with Claudia Fogarty after his Love Island exit.
The pair were together for a couple of weeks through the ups and downs of Casa Amor, before Casey eventually decided he wanted to try and pursue something with Rosie Seabrook instead. He split with Claudia and turned all his attention to Rosie.
However, they were booted out of the show tonight in a shocking twist just days before the ITV2 programme ends. On Monday, one couple will be crowned the winner as the show wraps up its first winter series in a couple of years.
Casey thinks he'll be friends with Claudia despite their romance going sour.
Asked how he felt about the whole situation, he said: "Look, it’s horrible. I know more than anyone what it’s like to be in a triangle situation from when I first arrived and was with Lana. I was really happy with Claudia.
"I felt it was going so well. But I was never closed off, I never misled Claudia. So when Rosie came in, there was that spark that I maybe didn’t have with Claudia. I just wanted to explore whether the personality matched up to my initial attraction."
He added: "I had to give it two or three days to make that decision. So for me, I had to be selfish. I went with who I could see a future with and for me that was Rosie. I hated to see Claudia upset as I really did care for the girl."
Casey explained how he'd love to iron out any "bad blood" between the pair.
He shared: "I would love to chat with Claudia. I hate the thought of there being bad blood, it’s not what I’m about. The fact she left and I wasn’t able to clear the air and really say sorry for making her have a go at me like that, it’s not nice.
"She let everything out to me, which is fair enough as I made her feel s***. I know it’s a difficult situation now I’m with Rosie, but I think she’s such an amazing girl. She’s so classy, she’s such a good laugh. I really do think we’ll get along on the outside."
Rosie added about Casey's decision: "Once Casey made his decision I felt relieved and it was nice that my feelings were reciprocated. But I also felt guilt for Claudia. I got on with her really well and on the outside, I definitely am a girls’ girl."
