Love Island’s Casey’s defends ‘selfish’ decision – but wants to meet up with Claudia

2023-03-07

Love Island star Casey O’Gorman has opened up about his split from Claudia Fogarty as he and partner Rosie Seabrook became the most recent couple to be dumped from the villa.

Following Monday night’s vote, Casey and Rosie, 24, received the least votes from viewers and their time on the show came to an end.

Now in his new exit interview, Casey, 26, has reflected on his time in the villa and discussed ending things with Claudia, 28, to see where things went with Rosie.

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.”

Casey further insisted: “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. 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. But I came into this wanting to find someone and I feel like I have found that within Rosie.”

Knowing there’s potential bad blood with Claudia, Casey said he’d “love” to speak to her now he’s left the villa.

“I hate the thought of there being bad blood, it’s not what I’m about,” he said of seeing her.

“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 sh**.”

Upon Claudia’s return to the UK, her famous family threw her a welcome home party which included a heart-shaped cake with an undeniable dig at Casey on it.

The lavish-looking multi-layered desert, which featured pink and yellow frilled buttercream frosting and numerous edible baubles, made a hilarious Love Island quote its centrepiece.

In baby pink fondant icing were the words "You can't have your cake + eat it", the words Claudia told her ex on-screen beau Casey during the show's infamous Snog, Marry, Pie challenge after he ditched her for newbie Rosie.

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
