Love Island's Samie and Tom risk awkward run-in at event just weeks after breakup

Former Love Island couple, Samie Elishi and Tom Clare risked bumping into each other at the Pride of Manchester Awards, just weeks after they called time on their romance.

The reality stars were joined by their Love Island castmates at the event, which was held at the Kimpton Clock Tower Hotel.

Samie, 22, had donned a stylish black dress with white piping and a cut out at the side, which she wore with a pair of matching shoes. Completing her look, she unveiled her glamorous new fringe.

Tom, 23, shared some snaps of the event to Instagram, as he posed alongside his former co-stars Ron Hall and Casey O'Gorman, all of whom sported black suits and bow ties.

The former couple were seated apart at the event, with Tom sat at a table with Casey, Shaq Muhammed, Tanya Manhenga and winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan.

Samie was sat with Ron, Lana Jenkins, Olivia Hawkins, Claudia Fogarty and Laura Anderson.

Samie recently uploaded a 17-minute YouTube video, in which she spoke about her split from Tom and how she was currently going through a health scare.

Speaking about how she didn’t want to share a statement on the split, Samie said: "I never wanted to make this video.

"It is intense. Me and Tom have broken up. It's ended on good terms. No one's done anything bad to each other, there's still lots and lots of love there. It just wasn't working on the outside and we both agreed on the majority of the things.

"There's no bad blood there, me and Tom. I would never say a bad word about him and he wouldn't about me."

Samie also went on to tell fans that she was undergoing tests for cancer, after Love Island fans spotted a lump on her neck while she appeared on the show.

She admitted that she was ‘blindsided’ when Tom announced they had split up on social media, saying that she felt “very very overwhelmed”.

She told fans: "I thought me and Tom were on the same page with it but obviously he felt the need to post a story on the specific day when I was getting all my tests done, which didn't help.

"But yeah, that's basically why I wasn't ready, but my phone just blew up after that."
