Casey O’Gorman has returned to Love Island for the fourth time as he’s joined the line-up for spin-off show Love Island Games. Speculation has been rife that the 28-year-old could be joining the show and now the news has been confirmed. However, this time around, he’s joined by his ex-girlfriend Gabby Allen , who he won All Stars series two with earlier this year. The Love Island USA Instagram page shared their cast portraits and captioned it: “The bigger the bow, the bigger the Bombshell. Welcome to the villa, Casey and Gabby!” In his picture, Casey can be seen wearing a pair of salmon swimming shorts as he smiles to the camera while Gabby dons a sizzling red bikini and stares seductively while standing in a ring. Fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts as one person expressed: “They literally just won All Stars together. Why are they back???” Another social media user commented: “Absolutely no one and I mean NO ONE asked for Casey to be on this show,” while someone else fumed: “You can’t be serious. Stop casting Casey ffs. He was just on All Stars in January. Stop!” However, some saw the funny side of it as one wrote: “Haha, that is hilarious. Put the exes to walk in as bombshells together.” A fifth added: “Yassss!!!! Go Casey and Gabby! Do it for Team UK.” Casey first appeared on Love Island UK on the ninth series back in 2023 but failed to find a lasting connection and was dumped from the villa just a week before the final. He returned for the first series of All Stars in 2024 but again failed to find a romantic connection. The reality star gave the show a third shot for All Stars series two, which aired on ITV2 this year and managed to strike up a connection with Gabby, 33. The pair made it all the way to the final and won the show, taking home the huge cash prize of £50,000. But despite fans rooting for them, they announced their split just three months after leaving the villa. They said in a joint statement: “After much thoughtful consideration, Gabby and Casey have decided to go their separate ways romantically. "This decision was mutual, and they both remain on good terms as friends with a shared respect for each other." She added: “Gabby is grateful for the memories they’ve created together and wishes Casey nothing but the best as they both move forward on their individual journeys. She’s excited for what the future holds." Gabby first appeared on the third series of the iconic show back in 2017 and was joined in the villa by the likes of Olivia Attwood , Chris Hughes, Georgia Harrison, Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay. She and then boyfriend Marcel Somerville made it to the final of their series and came in fourth place. They were together for ten months but ended up parting ways after he cheated on her while they were on holiday together. The two were in for an awkward exchange on All Stars earlier this year but managed to talk through their past issues as he apologised to her for his indiscretions. Love Island Games sees former contestants from various countries come together as they battle it out in various physical and mental challenges. The extra added layer of competition sees the stars battle between their heads and their hearts, with some playing for love while others play for the game. Casey and Gabby aren’t the only Love Island UK stars on this series of Love Island Games as Tyrique Hyde, Lucinda Strafford and Toby Aromolaran all already made their way into the villa. Tyrique and Lucinda were a part of the starting line-up while Toby entered as a bombshell last week.
