Love Island star slams 'feud' claims after fans speculated group had fallen out

Love Island's Tom Clare has slammed speculation that there was a rift between him, Casey O'Gorman and Will Young.

The latest series of the ITV2 show saw a 'bromance' develop between Will, 23, Tom 23, and Casey, 26 - who have been referred to as 'the Three Musketeers'.

There has however been speculation this week about a possible feud within the group, with it having been suggested that Will has distanced himself from his two pals.

It has been suggested that the trio don't seem to be as close anymore amid Will spending time with his girlfriend Jessie Wynter, 26, and his two pals meeting up without him.

The speculation has seemingly been fuelled this week by Casey having visited Tom in Barnsley this week. Will wasn't present for the reunion and has been posting about being on his family's farm with Jessie.

A spokesperson for Tom however told the Mirror: "There is no feud between the Three Musketeers, since coming out of the villa all of them have been busy and they look forward to reuniting soon. There's regular contact between all three."

Casey has shared posts from his reunion with Tom. This included a photo of them both, with him writing alongside it: "I'd like to couple up with this boy because ... "

Another photo saw them enjoying a pizza night and they were seen singing together in a car in a video.

Casey also shared footage of himself and Tom in a gym, where they challenged each other to do the longest plank. The post referenced sports day in the Love Island villa, with Casey writing: "Sports day all over again."

Casey however suggested there's no bad blood with Will as he tagged him and fellow islander Shaq Muhammad, 24, in the post. He wrote to them: "Get the trophy out, lads".

There previously appeared to be some tension between Will and Casey, following their departures from the ITV show, over comments that the latter made in the villa.

Footage shown on Aftersun recently showed Casey discussing an interaction he had with Jessie, with him saying it "seemed like such an act". During another scene, he suggested that she was "playing a game" in the villa.

Fans have speculated about the friendship between Casey, Tom and Will on Reddit recently, with some suggesting that the comments about Jessie had affected it.

One person wrote: "I've noticed that Will kinda distanced himself from the three musketeer s***". Another said: "Does seem like it a bit and can't help wonder if the 'Jessie's fake' has put a dent in the friendship a bit."

Others however speculated that Will is simply prioritising seeing his girlfriend - who's from Australia - whilst she's in the UK.

One said: "It feels too early to tell either way tbh. I mean [right now] he has a gf that didn't live in the UK so it makes sense he'd prioritize spending time with her and figuring out logistics etc."
